tzurl - zoneinfo in VTIMEZONE format

A public collection of timezone definitions in iCalendar VTIMEZONE format.

Overview

The primary aim of this project is to provide timezone definitions to support the iCal4j library. Whilst iCal4j includes these definitions with each release, the public tzurl.org site provides updates that may be used with any iCalej release.

Usage

The published definitions may be used by any libray by following this basic URL format:

<protocol>://tzurl.org/<tz_collection>/<tz_id>

where:

• protocol - either http or https
• tz_collection - one of the published collections, including zoneinfo, zoneinfo-global, zoneinfo-outlook and zoneinfo-global-outlook
• tz_id - a timezeone identifier, such as America/Vancouver

Timezone Collections

The following collections are published on the tzurl.org website.

zoneinfo

This is the default timezone collection, which includes all of the latest timezone updates, using a timezone identifier in the following format:

<region>/<city>

zoneinfo-outlook

Build

Docker

Running in Docker

A Docker image has been created from this project and can be run as follows:

docker run --rm -it -p 80:80 benfortuna/tzurl

HAProxy

A docker-compose configuration is provided that will run Apache HTTPD behind an HAProxy load balancer. This allows for scaling multiple Apache instances, etc. Examples follow.

$ docker-compose build && docker-compose up # run a single httpd instance behind haproxy

$ docker-compose scale tzurl=2 && docker-compose up # run two httpd instance load-balanced

Syslog

RSyslog is supported in HAProxy. Examples below.

$ docker-compose run -d -e RSYSLOG_DESTINATION=<syslog_host:port> haproxy && docker-compose up

$ docker-compose scale tzurl=2 && docker-compose run --service-ports -d -e RSYSLOG_DESTINATION=<syslog_host:port> haproxy
