Installing Immich involves installing Docker or Portainer first. I chose Docker because I wanted a lower overhead. I just installed and blindly click through. The errors threw me off a bit. Turns out the downloads were setup for a Linux machine, doing this on a Windows machine requires additional configuration.
In the installations documentation, found at the bottom of the page:
The Immich Postgres database (
DB_DATA_LOCATION) must be located on a filesystem that supports user/group ownership and permissions (EXT2/3/4, ZFS, APFS, BTRFS, XFS, etc.). It will not work on any filesystem formatted in NTFS or ex/FAT/32. It will not work in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) when using a mounted host directory (commonly under/mnt). If this is an issue, you can change the bind mount to a Docker volume instead as follows:
Make the following change to
.env:- DB_DATA_LOCATION=./postgres + DB_DATA_LOCATION=pgdata
Add the following line to the bottom of docker-compose.yml:
volumes: model-cache: + pgdata:
