How to change dedicated server timezone? #24

Open Fieel opened 4 years ago

Fieel commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I'd like to know how to change/update my dedicated server timezone, it clearly isn't using my OS timezone and I'd love to have my logs, well, logged with a correct time which is not the case as of now.

How to update the timezone? Is it possible?

Good day,

Disclaimer: I am not sure whether this will solve your question because I haven't tried this on running DST containers. However, I have used this approach for setting up timezone of my personal servers in the cloud.

You can try setting TZ environment variable of your Bash shell to a timezone string that available in tz database. Since the server running as Docker containers and orchestrated via docker-compose.yml, you need to set TZ variable in both container's environment property. For example:

version: '3'
services:
  dst_master:
    # omitted other properties for brevity
    environment:
      - SHARD_NAME=Caves
      - TZ=Asia/Bangkok
  dst_caves:
    # ...
    environment:
      - SHARD_NAME=Master
      - TZ=Asia/Bangkok
# ...
