Improve how we set the time on the remote container to avoid tzdata and requiring sudo #138

Closed philippemnoel closed 3 years ago

philippemnoel commented 4 years ago

Feature Name & Description Currently, we use runcmd with sudo to set the time on Linux, which requires the password. We should have the host-service do it via writing to the time device instead, so we don't need to get the password of the containers. See below

The Problem It Fixes Setting time on containers without needing password

Feature Implementation See above ^^

Ensure that the timezone of the Fractal container always matches the timezone of their host machine.

rpadaki commented 3 years ago

We can handle timezone the exact same way we handle, say, DPI. Much simpler than making the protocol responsible!

npip99 commented 3 years ago

In our protocol, fixed by PR #1274

However, ./container-images/base/config/systemd-logind-override-ubuntu20.conf is not working, and timedated depends on that conf file working.
