The ghost logs should display the real local time

[pascalandy]

I tested to use tzdata on the final build.

RUN apk update && apk upgrade                               && \
    apk add --no-cache tzdata          && \
    cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime  && \
    echo "America/New_York" > /etc/timezone                 && \
    apk del tzdata                                          && \
    rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*

when I type date in the container, my local time is right.

But for some reason, the time on the logs from Ghost are not right. Any ideas?

P.S. I have to re-test using node:8!

[pascalandy]

My last built using node:8.9.1

I setup at New-York time but the logs show 5 hours further.

Oh !! I guess we need to install tzdata in the builder container as well! EDIT ... and set the local time

[mmornati]

Yes maybe. I was looking documentation on this point yesterday evening but I found nothing interesting.

I think the tzdata package is required but we need to test. I'll try to propose you something later during the day.

Same issue when I setup my local time in the builder image.

Same result

With the latest changes you have to add -e TZ=America/New York or something like that, to set your time zone. I tested with date and it was working, but I didn't check the result in the ghost log. Maybe there is something else to set for ghost

[pascalandy]

In my dockerfile I used TZ="America/New_York".

[mmornati]

This is what I have just executing the date

I think the problem is linked with all the things discussed here: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/1265

I guess you're right. Let's drop this. Thanks for the reference!
