How to add timezone?

[ghost]

OS: Unraid 6.4.1 Default template settings

I'd like to add a timezone so I can use the weekly scheduled settings.

docker exec -it Sync /bin/bash
date

The date is about 15 hours ahead.

Thanks, team linuxserver.io

You need to pass the TZ variable to the container, I will create a pull request to update the readme it should be included: IE:

-e TZ=US/Eastern

unraid sets it automatically with dockers

you need to check your unraid system timezone because unraid automatically add TZ to the run line of any docker

@sparklyballs tested and created pull request to update the readme, even if this does not directly apply to unraid should be in the readme no ?

Is this under Unraid>Settings>DateTime? Because I have it set correctly yet it's not correct in most of my docker containers :( I've checked the host machine's date output, and it's correct.

Anyways, thanks for letting me know!

I added the appropriate TZ variable, yet it doesn't seem to be the right time, still?

Might be better to open a thread on the unraid forum about this. More people watching there and it also looks like the problem is unraid related. Post your docker run command, screenshot of date output in both unraid and container and time and date settings of unraid.

docker run -d --name='Sync' --net='bridge' -e TZ="Australia/Perth" -e HOST_OS="unRAID" -p '8888:8888/tcp' -p '5555:5555/tcp' -p '3838:3838/udp' -v '/path/to/volume/':'/path':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/Sync':'/config':'rw' 'limetech/sync'

The command finished successfully!

I'll create a thread on the Unraid forum, thanks

edit: was using the wrong container all along.. fixed now.
