/etc/localtime is usually a symlink, e.g.:

❯ readlink /etc/localtime 
../etc/zoneinfo/Asia/Singapore

However in the docker container, that symlink is being overriden by something else (issue). Also, mounting symlinks in a container is problematic.

I suggest instead using a TZ environment variable; that way, you are guaranteed the same timezone no matter what host you run on.
