This is an alpine host issue I believe

SoapOP•5mo ago

fixable or nah?

Zeus•5mo ago

I don’t think so, you can google it tho it’s a known thing if I remember correctly Maybe you can install the TZ package, not sure But not an immich issue

SoapOP•5mo ago

google what the output from docker compose up -d?

Zeus•5mo ago

No, the issue with alpine containers and time zones But tbh if you don’t already know how to handle this I would highly recommend a Linux VM Or at minimum a Debian LXC but we do not officially support LXC
