:::tip
Good performance and a stable connection to the Postgres database is critical to a smooth Immich experience.
The Postgres database files are typically between 1-3 GB in size.
For this reason, the Postgres database (`DB_DATA_LOCATION`) should ideally use local SSD storage, and never a network share of any kind.
Additionally, if Docker resource limits are used, the Postgres database requires at least 2GB of RAM.
Windows users may run into issues with non-Unix-compatible filesystems, see below for more details.
