looks like something is corrupted, if you have backup I would recommend you to re initialize the database

Most likely you had a power loss or similar. You can restore the DB if you have a backup. You also may have a failing storage device as a typical power loss shouldn’t cause this

I did have a power loss few days ago but it worked after the power loss Checking this, thanks OK - I have a db backup as per this link When i will do docker compose down, will it delete all the immich stored photos as well ? I'm doing this in portainer, so I will have to delete the stack. But I don't have a way to just "create" the containers in portainer, without starting them. Using the env variable in the help doc will suffice? Cause when i try to exec into the postgres container right now without deleting the stack (equivalent of docker compose down) i get the error " wait while container is restarting"

Unless you stored the photos in a volume and remove the volumes upon deleting the stack, they should be safe in /data/compose/??/library The postgres data will be in the same folder under /data/compose/??/postgres (assuming you've used the default env file) You can easily create a new immich stack while the old one is shut down, and restore the database there Then just shut the new one down, move the images, and start it back up

Yes i have used the default compose and volumes So in portainer, when i "shut down" (instead of stop) it will delete all the immich containers. Is that what i want? Move the images: am i just changing the $upload_location path in the env where the old stack stored the pictures?
