I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report.

  • Yes

The bug

The documentation of Docker Compose deployment mentions an .env file that has TZ commented out

Image

But following the suggestion and uncommenting the line doesn't do anything as the TZ variable is not referenced in the compose file.

Is it an oversight (and I can add environment variable to reference and set TZ in containers) or is it by design (and it is not safe to set TZ in containers)?

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Ubuntu 22

Version of Immich Server

v2.5.2

Version of Immich Mobile App

v2.5.2

The env file is passed into the container with the env_file directive.

Not to all of them tho... This makes immich-server and immich-machine-learning running possibly in different time zones than redis and database @mmomjian

Those containers do not need a timezone.
