Postgres container constantly restarting

[ebon mesa]

So I've updated to the latest version v1.106.4, and my immich_postgres and immich_server containers are constantly restarting.

Postgres logs give me

"UTC [1] FATAL: could not write lock file "postmaster.pid": No space left on device" and "PostgreSQL Database directory appears to contain a database; Skipping initialization"

Immich_server has no logs so no clue why its restarting

well I guess I'm just slightly confused on this, I have loads of space on my system and have never run into this issue before, how do I grant it "more space"

[fringe summit]

Can you go the the terminal of this machine and run dh -h?

You have postgres being stored in a docker volume, which goes wherever your docker installation is configured to put it (usually /var/lib/docker)

[ebon mesa]

ah I see, and docker seems to have only 67GB available, is there a safe way to transfer where postgres is being stored like on the same drive my immich app is being stored?

In 1.102.0 we changed the default to use a mounted folder, those release notes also have instructions on how to migrate
