Timezone setting

[pointbre]

Hi,

In order to set the proper timezone with Caddy, I've made a change to Dockerfile like the following:

...
# install process wrapper
COPY --from=builder /go/bin/parent /bin/parent

# Add timezone
RUN apk add tzdata

ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/parent", "caddy"]
...

Docker image building went ok.

When running the caddy-docker image, I've set TZ=Pacific/Auckland and I could see my local time in Caddy's access log. Please make the change so that everybody can set timezone.

Thanks

@pointbre thanks. You mean you only had to set the TZ env var?

That is a straightforward change. I'll add it to the container.

RUN apk add tzdata to Dockerfile and TZ env var to container, that's all. Tested with NZ timezone on Ubuntu 18.04. Thanks.

Another option is to add this to your docker-compose.yml when using the container

volumes:    
    - "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro"

Snippet I'm using in almost all my alpine containers:

# Timezone
ENV TIMEZONE Europe/Berlin

# Install timezone data and setup timezone
RUN apk --update add --no-cache --virtual .tz-deps tzdata \
    && cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/${TIMEZONE} /etc/localtime \
    && echo ${TIMEZONE} > /etc/timezone \
    && apk del .tz-deps
