### Supported filesystems
The Immich Postgres database (`DB_DATA_LOCATION`) must be located on a filesystem that supports user/group
ownership and permissions (EXT2/3/4, ZFS, APFS, BTRFS, XFS, etc.). It will not work on any filesystem formatted in NTFS or ex/FAT/32.
It will not work in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) when using a mounted host directory (commonly under `/mnt`).
If this is an issue, you can change the bind mount to a Docker volume instead.
Regardless of filesystem, it is not recommended to use a network share for your database location due to performance and possible data loss issues.

`TZ` should be set to a `TZ identifier` from [this list][tz-list]. For example, `TZ="Etc/UTC"`.

`TZ` is used by `exiftool` as a fallback in case the timezone cannot be determined from the image metadata. It is also used for logfile timestamps and cron job execution.
