A trivial reproduction without a lot of setup
$ docker run --rm -it --name discord-scrape -e TZ=America/Toronto --entrypoint /bin/sh tyrrrz/discordchatexporter:stable
/out # date
Thu Sep 19 17:28:23 UTC 2024
So it appears that the date
command is not picking up the timezone.
Dumping the environment
/out # env
DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=false
HOSTNAME=ffa38c718a14
SHLVL=1
HOME=/root
DOTNET_RUNNING_IN_CONTAINER=true
TERM=xterm
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
ASPNETCORE_HTTP_PORTS=8080
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
APP_UID=1654
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
PWD=/out
TZ=America/Toronto
Shows that the TZ variable is correctly set.
I believe that the base alpine image - is either no longer, or has had the tzdata
package removed.
Extending the example above - you can 'fix' this by adding the tzdata package
/out # date
Thu Sep 19 17:29:56 UTC 2024
/out # apk add tzdata
fetch https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.19/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
fetch https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.19/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
(1/1) Installing tzdata (2024a-r0)
OK: 47 MiB in 21 packages
/out # date
Thu Sep 19 13:30:42 EDT 2024
/out #
If the dockerfile is modified to include the tzdata
package - this should resolve the problem.
Please open a PR to add it

Steps to reproduce
I'm running the docker image. I noticed that my HTML output contains
Despite the fact that I'm providing the environment variable
-e TZ=America/Toronto
to my docker command line.I believe this worked in the past, but something has changed.
Details
Expected: Setting the TZ environment variable would provide dates with the right timezone
Actual: Docker container always runs in UTC
