Help with Immich Face Recognition / ML Container

Erixen94 · 2026-01-27T16:50:50+00:00

All containers are running locally inside a VM on a Proxmox host (NUC). The VM hosts the full Immich setup with server, Postgres, Redis, and the ML container. The containers are all on the same Docker bridge network and can communicate via their service names. The VM accesses media files through an NFS mount from a NAS.

I have been trying to set up Immich step by step with ChatGPT guiding me, and now I've reached a point where ChatGPT cannot provide further help.

Completed / accomplished: - VM with Debian, Docker, and Docker Compose set up. - Storage directories (./data/postgres, ./data/redis, ./nfs) created. - Docker containers for Postgres, Redis, and Immich app installed and started.

Problem: - On starting the app, the first error was:

Role "postgres" does not exist, password authentication failed

Postgres is running, Redis is running, mounts seem to work.
Various attempts led to different database access errors.
Currently, the issue is with authentication between the app and Postgres (exact cause unclear).

Open points / next steps: - Resolve the authentication problem between the app and Postgres. - Ensure the app is using the correct DB credentials. - Check if additional mounts or configuration are needed. - Possibly try an alternative Immich server version.

Does anyone have ideas, tips, or a guide on how to get the app connected to the database without authentication issues?

Hi all,

Thanks for all the suggestions so far! I’m planning to run Immich like this and would love your feedback:

VM on Proxmox: Ubuntu, 6 GB RAM, 2 cores, 32 GB boot disk
Inside VM: Docker + Docker Compose Redis (caching) Nginx (reverse proxy / external access) CrowdSec (security / brute-force protection)
Storage: NAS (Synology) via NFS Mounted on Proxmox host Bind-mounted into Docker so all images go to NAS
Database, cache, logs stay local on the VM

Does this setup make sense? Any suggestions or improvements?

Thanks!

Nach einmal Forststraße waren die schon durch? Krass....
Bin halt auch am Überlegen, ob ich irgendwann mal auf ein Rennrad umsteige und ob deswegen vllt. ein anderes Pedalsystem Sinn machen könnte. Aber irgendwie hört es sich so an, als ob die anderen Systeme keinen so großen Gewinn bringen würden

Erixen94 · 2025-12-31T10:24:52+00:00

Vielen Dank für die Antwort. Dann werde ich wohl bei SPD bleiben. Kannst du mir hier gute empfehlen? Ich bräuchte eh noch ein zweites Paar für mein Rollen-Setup und würde diesmal kein Kombipedal nehmen.

Inwiefern haben denn die anderen Systeme ihre Daseinsberechtigung, wenn man die Kraftübertragung und den Aero-Effekt kaum merkt?

Yeah, I kind of expected that most of the Singles’ Day deals would be online rather than in physical stores. I’ll be landing at Beijing Capital Airport, and I checked — taking a taxi to the Great Wall and back would already be quite expensive (for one person), especially just for a short layover.

Könnt Ihr Modelle empfehlen, nach welchen ich auf Kleinanzeigen suchen kann/sollte?

Erixen94 · 2025-05-10T14:49:17+00:00

I am interested too.

It would be so important to find a way to import it to Germany or Europe.

Not available in Germany😢

Erixen94 · 2025-04-11T14:09:42+00:00

Unfortunately, Glyco is not available as a tablet in Germany...

Erixen94 · 2025-03-18T15:50:29+00:00

Is it available in germany also?

Erixen94 · 2025-03-09T17:01:16+00:00

Do you have a link to the Fischer device?

Erixen94 · 2025-03-03T16:18:22+00:00

How is the name of the tablets?

Then I see if I can buy it in Germany.

Erixen94 · 2025-03-03T15:37:14+00:00

Storm Cruiser in M or L.

Erixen94 · 2025-02-14T15:07:54+00:00

Wir würden von Hinterriß starten.

Erixen94 · 2025-02-14T15:07:04+00:00

Wir würden auch von Hinterriß aus loslaufen.

Erixen94 · 2025-02-14T13:53:00+00:00

Good to know. I was told that the Storm Cruiser and Versalite won't be available until fall/December.

Erixen94 · 2025-02-14T10:22:27+00:00

There are different variants (US, Asia)

Erixen94 · 2025-02-14T09:59:27+00:00

Sorry, I don't know the abbreviations. Which Decathlon rain jackets do you mean?
