Hi everyone

I have finally completed the migration from the old immich config to the new one. The only thing is it says its crashed. Ive been having all sorted of postgres issues with apps crashing. I uninstalled and reinstalled a few which worked but id rather not do this here. If anyone has ideas id be grateful to hear. thank you for readin

The offending container is pgvecto_upgrade. Here are the container logs

Postgres needs permission for user 999 which in truenas is the buildin netdata user. Does that user have permission for read/write/execute?

hello

thank you for your message

I did try that but i got this error message. Im not entirely sure what it means

[EPERM] Filesystem permissions on path /mnt/super_rad_cool_pool/app_data prevent access for user "netdata" to the path /mnt/super_rad_cool_pool/app_data/immich/data. This may be fixed by granting the aforementioned user execute permissions on the path: /mnt/super_rad_cool_pool/app_data.

looks like you only granted read/write permissions not execute

5

is execute the same as full control, or modify?

6

execute is modify, full control is execute + permission to change ownership (as far as i know)

Got it going, thank you heaps Lars
