Error: connect ECONNREFUSED [::]:6379 immich_server | at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1634:16)

The bug

Upon starting, the immich_server loops constantly and throws this error, which I think might have something to do with Redis

immich_server            | Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 172.18.0.5:6379
immich_server            |     at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1634:16) {
immich_server            |   errno: -111,
immich_server            |   code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
immich_server            |   syscall: 'connect',

immich_server            |   port: 6379

Is the redis container running? What does its log say?

[madmic1314]

I too am getting this issue - updated the system packages, rebooted and now this error - logs attached, it starts then loops this error, before crashing and starting again.
immich_server_logs.txt
immich_redis_logs.txt
My immich config - matches the latest from the docs - myimmich.txt

[madmic1314]

I've watched it cycle through this loop a few times and grabbed the longer logs -
immich_server_logs (1).txt

[madmic1314]

This is odd, I stopped the stack and left it overnight. No other changes to my server. Started the stack and it's back up again. Can only think there was something wrong with the Redis container that wasn't showing in the logs. I did restart the stack yesterday before posting, but guessing it needed to be down for some time. Odd - will monitor during the next update + reboot.
