All the immich-admin CLI commands throw the following error:
Error: Config validation error: "DB_USERNAME" is required. "DB_PASSWORD" is required
Presumably this is because I am using the Docker secrets support for these variables so I have values set for DB_USERNAME_FILE and DB_PASSWORD_FILE set instead of the normal "DB_USERNAME" and "DB_PASSWORD" values.
