Immich-server container getting stuck on startup #3
Description
Hi,
Just wanted to check in if you have any tips regarding the immich-server container taking an absurdly long time to start up:
Dec 23 17:49:19 localhost.localdomain podman[8366]: 2025-12-23 17:49:19.459843471 +0000 GMT m=+0.048789761 container create 687f03958c3ccaad95894562518dfa4e3ae1181695722ca34f1 Dec 23 17:49:19 localhost.localdomain podman[8366]: 2025-12-23 17:49:19.431667012 +0000 GMT m=+0.020613350 image pull 85364cd21cda9f531c5245abd1ced28f7c8bdda1c8e62d5ea2601ddcb Dec 23 17:55:18 localhost.localdomain podman[8366]: 2025-12-23 17:55:18.452627026 +0000 GMT m=+359.041573309 container init 687f03958c3ccaad95894562518dfa4e3ae1181695722ca34f1 Dec 23 17:55:18 localhost.localdomain podman[8366]: 2025-12-23 17:55:18.466415595 +0000 GMT m=+359.055361872 container start 687f03958c3ccaad95894562518dfa4e3ae1181695722ca34f
I have even add Pull=never, to ensure that it's not pulling the container that is slow, but no change. All of the other containers start up in seconds, it's a powerfull PC with NVME storage. When the container is starting even sudo podman ps hangs.
