Nvidia GPU not used in ML
Below is my docker-compose file, i've tried rerunning docker compose up -d but that seems to just give errors in powershell (below) with my docker-compose.yml files
the changes are reflected in my hwaccel.ml.yml

Information
In order to be able to effectively help you, we need you to provide clear information to show what the problem is. The exact details needed vary per case, but here is a list of things to consider:
- Your docker-compose.yml and .env files.
- Logs from all the containers and their status (see above).
- All the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far.
- Any recent changes you've made to Immich or your system.
- Details about your system (both software/OS and hardware).
- Details about your storage (filesystems, type of disks, output of commands like fdisk -l
and df -h
).
- The version of the Immich server, mobile app, and other relevant pieces.
- Any other information that you think might be relevant.
Please paste files and logs with proper code formatting, and especially avoid blurry screenshots.
Without the right information we can't work out what the problem is. Help us help you ;)
If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close
command, and re-open it later if needed.more context:
most recent powershell output with current file:
PS Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::\wsl.localhost\docker-desktop\home\happy\docker\immich-app> docker compose up -d
services.env_file must be a mapping
partial ml log:
please post "errors after errors"
its the powershell output
does a .env file exist?
yes
can you run
docker compose down && docker compose up -d
PS Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::\wsl.localhost\docker-desktop\home\happy\docker> (docker compose down) -and (docker compose up -d)
no configuration file provided: not found
False
PS Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::\wsl.localhost\docker-desktop\home\happy\docker> docker compose down ; docker compose up -
no configuration file provided: not found
no configuration file provided: not found

I'm not sure what zone.identifier is. Also you modified your docker compose file directly, why not use the extends function as was built-in to the original compose file?
im getting my information off of https://immich.app/docs/features/ml-hardware-acceleration
interesting, that should work
or im completely misunderstanding what it's saying
can you share the output of
docker ps
wait
