New Install Throwing @nestjs/core Error

[neon fjord]

I'm trying to install immich for the first time on Windows 10 via Docker. When I start the containers up, everything shows green for a few seconds then the immich_server container goes orange and restarts. In the Log I see Error: Cannot find module '@nestjs/core'. I've tried deleting everything, redownloading the docker-compose.yml and .env files, and building it all again from Docker with the same results. If I run just docker compose up from terminal I see the same error as I do in the Docker logs. Note I've followed these instructions and changed nothing in the yml or env files - https://immich.app/docs/install/docker-compose/

Can you try docker compose pull again?

[neon fjord]

No change.

Any ideas? Anything else I can provide to help triage? Thank you!

WSL2 backend? Or HyperV?
Try also putting the DB volume in a docker volume

[neon fjord]

@finite magnet WSL2, and I confirmed WSL2 is successfully installed and I can run Ubuntu. Do you have an example docker compose yml for running Immich database in a Docker Volume? Reading up on it but this is my first time using Docker so any Immich specific info would be awesome. Thanks!

[finite magnet]

Sure

Default is:

database:
  ...
    volumes:
      - ${DB_DATA_LOCATION}:/var/lib/postgresql/data
  ...
volumes:
  model-cache:

But using a docker volume is:

database:
  ...
    volumes:
      - pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
  ...
volumes:
  model-cache:
  pgdata:

You could also keep the DB_DATA_LOCATION var and set it to pgdata (notice no ./ in this version)

Note that should you ever perform docker compose down -v this will DELETE your database FOR GOOD

@finite magnet Thanks for the example that was great! I tried that out (yml attached) and still have the same issue 😦

Hi @neon fjord if you're still having issues, you could try wiping the local images first docker compose down -v --rmi all and then docker compose up -d again.

This will wipe everything except the yml file and the env. file.

[neon fjord]

I’ll give that a shot and report back! Thank you

[neon fjord]

Did the full docker compose down and up and no dice. Decided to start again from scratch so I deleted all of the Immich containers, fully uninstalled Docker Desktop, and gave it another shot with everything default. I seem to now have a stable instance of immich_server! Thanks for the help here, wish I could report back more info to help others but also just happy its working now 🙂
