I would like to have the output subfolders and file name be my local time, but it is be written out in UTC time. Through the Unifi OS GUI, I have the time zone set to my local zone. After ssh-ing and running timedatectl, the output is the following:

               Local time: Sun 2023-02-19 20:30:09 EST
           Universal time: Mon 2023-02-20 01:30:09 UTC
                 RTC time: Mon 2023-02-20 01:30:10
                Time zone: EST5EDT (EST, -0500)
System clock synchronized: yes
              NTP service: active
          RTC in local TZ: no
root@CloutKey:~# hwclock
2023-02-19 20:36:24.607507-05:00

Do I need to change the RTC time?

Any suggestions?
