Unraid help needed the instructions make no sense to me! help needed please :)

Trying to follow the official way but the documentation seems to me contradictory to me. Is says you must have Redis and POSTGRES 14 installed then add docker compose file then comment out Redis !!!!! Please can somebody guide me through this bit i have 24 dockers running for years but never used the compose bit in Unraid

The official guide (https://immich.app/docs/install/unraid) lists two different ways of installing: Community Applications Template (single container, unsupported, needs you to manually install redis and postgres) Docker-Compose Method (Official, includes redis/postgres)
Unraid | Immich
Immich can easily be installed and updated on Unraid via:

You can use them by commenting out the database and redis container in docker-compose file Then in the environment variables, point the corresponding value to your redis and database instance

What's the issue ? With Unraid and the AIO, you just need to fill the template

You only need one line, so just edit line 9 and remove line 26 So you have it working?

I don’t use unraid so I am not sure how it can be used but we have users here use docker-compose method and the all in one community image successfully 🤔

Bulk Upload (Using the CLI) | Immich
You can use the CLI to upload an existing gallery to the Immich server

can you please tellme about Network Type: i have my own custom one. But i see immich uses its own which i cannot see how to change! Or does it need to stop on its own ?
Alex Tran

Usually if you run docker-compose, docker will create a separate network for that specific stack
thorrrr
thorrrrOP2y ago
yes but a custom network lets all the containers to talk to each other plus i use it to access from outside via cf tunnel . or you saying it has to be on its own network ?
