looks like you have snap docker indeed

#

Is your Immich already running or are you just trying to set things up @meager grove ?

#

If just trying to set up, do you have other docker things running or not

meager grove
#

just installing

#

atm all docker containers are down, i had radarr a few hours to test but removed it

Best just remove docker snap altogether and install docker core properly @meager grove

meager grove
#

ok will do that. any particular step i need to do ATM in order to prevent any future conflict with this attempted install?

muted minnow
#

sudo snap remove docker --purge then reboot

meager grove
#

will do, thanks for the suggestion

meager grove
#

worked like a charm, managed to install and sync a test batch of photos
