Step 9: Container Start Order with FolderView3

Immich containers must start in the correct order. If the server starts before the database is ready, it will fail.

To manage this on Unraid, install FolderView3 from Community Applications:

Quicklink to search for FolderView3 (paste into your browser while logged into Unraid):

http://<your-unraid-ip>/Apps?search=folderview3

1. Go to Apps → search for FolderView3 → Install
2. Go to the Docker tab
3. Scroll down and click
4. Name: Immich

5. Icon (use the following URL):

   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/immich-app/immich/refs/heads/main/mobile/packages/ui/showcase/web/icons/apple-icon-180.png )
   

6. Folder WebUI: On

7. WebUI URL: http://<your-unraid-ip>:2283 (this will be the URL of the Immich server container)
8. Edit Preview section to your liking (optional)
9. Drag all four Immich containers into in the Correct start order and set the toggles next to them to "ON"
   1. immich-vectorchord-db (PostgreSQL)
   2. immich-valkey (Valkey)
   3. immich-machine-learning (ML)
   4. immich-server (Server — depends on all above)
10. Click to save the folder configuration
11. Back in Docker tab, click on the Immich folder and if the Containers weren't running before, click
12. Optionally set Autostart to "ON" for the folder.

FolderView3 will now start Immich and its dependent containers in sequence when you click on the folder and hit "Start".
