Setup (Docker compose install https://immich.app/docs/install/docker-compose)
mkdir ./immich-app && cd ./immich-app
wget -O docker-compose.yml https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml
wget -O .env https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/example.env
docker compose up -d

Output:

Check if the specified host path exists and is the expected type

Is there a known solution for this? The install instructions seem straight forward, am I doing something wrong?

Try removing the /etc/localtime mount from the compose file

dense shard
#

yeah, thats it
Its running

honest ingot
#

Are you in alpine or LXC?

dense shard
#

Arch

honest ingot
#

Btw 😉

dense shard
#

no flex

#

i don't know if other distros have /etc/localtime as a folder, but in arch this is setup as a symlink

#

i might look into this

honest ingot
#

I’ve only seen this issue in alpine

merry needle
# 
~# ls -la /etc/localtime 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Aug 28  2024 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Brussels

Proxmox Debian ^

weird

# 
~# ls -l /etc/localtime
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Apr 30 18:20 Portugal -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Portugal
honest ingot
#

That doesn’t seem like a valid time zone to me

#

Does the target file actually exist?

merry needle
# 
root@atlas:~# ls -la /usr/share/zoneinfo/Portugal 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 26 21:52 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Portugal -> Europe/Lisbon

It's just a shorthand

#

Portugal is one of the few countries in there :p
