I did, and I applied those changes, and now I cannot even up the container.
"yaml: while parsing a block mapping at line 48, column 5: line 50, column 6: did not find expected key"
Reverting the changes "fixes" it back toi the non-working Immich

Remove a single space before your newly added image on line 43 and try again please.

and now a different error

Alsmost there. I see /XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX in there. I do not think that is a real name? 😉

no, I redacted that, but also I am an idiot, I had removed a single space from another line 🤦‍♂️ this is just confusing to lookat..
it's now pulling, let's see if it works....

nope, still not connecting
