ENV TZ= in DockerFile does not change time #65

Closed JesseDarr closed 2 years ago

JesseDarr commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug

Setting a time zone in a DockerFile doesn't change the time, but it does change the listed time zone in the container. ENV TZ="America/Chicago"

sh-4.4# date -u Wed Jan 26 13:45:27 UTC 2022

sh-4.4# date Wed Jan 26 13:45:29 America 2022

Reproduction steps

1. Edit Time zone via DockerFile
2. Test with "date" and "date -u"
3.
...

Expected behavior

The date command should return an adjusted time value, instead of the UTC value with the listed time zone changed.

Additional context

No response

I've updated the docker file to now install the tzdata package. Setting timezones now should work as expected.
