Adjust the time zone inside the signalserver

[themustysmell]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen. In the meantime, I have installed and set up a signal server based on a normal Intel PC (64 bit). He works very well too.

After loading the first Qctools analytics data to the signal server, I should commit that the upload date is not the right time. There is always a deviation of 6 hours.

As it stands, the time zone in the signal server does not match the host.

So far I have tried to extend the yml file by the following lines. This did not fix the problem.

environment: - SET_CONTAINER_TIMEZONE=true - CONTAINER_TIMEZONE=Europe/Berlin volumes: - "/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro" - "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro"

Here are some dates and version numbers of my installation:

qcli 0.9Apr 10 2017 21:00:02 Docker version 18.02.0-CE Everything is installed on a Debian Buster Alpha2 with the latest kernel, patches and updates.

How can I adjust the time zone in the Docker containers to be in sync with the host?

Many thanks in advance. Marco

Good afternoon,

As far as I can see: containers, strictly speaking, are properly set to UTC (which is really fine). Nevertheless, django applications (applications, not containers) have their own timezone set.

As far as I tested, you can change used TZ in signalserver/settings.py, changing the TIME_ZONE variable, which is currently set to US/Eastern.

I hope this help.
