Add TZ envvar to default chart values

npelikan commented 9 months ago

When attaching lubridate, users will often see an error like:

> library(lubridate)
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Failed to connect to bus: Host is down

Warning message:
In system("timedatectl", intern = TRUE): 
  running command 'timedatectl' had status 1

Investigation reveals this is related to https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker-versioned/issues/242

I'd suggest we set the TZ envvar to UTC by default in PWB and PC containers so users don't see this confusing error.

FYI this is now set by default in the upstream containers: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio-docker-products/pull/725

Closing as its resolved upstream!
