Set lando timezone to Europe/Helsinki #353

Closed misterjoonas closed 4 months ago

misterjoonas commented 1 year ago

Lando seems to be using UTC as the default timezone.

❯ lando ssh
www-data@731ba918ed14:/app$ date
Tue Apr  4 10:43:08 UTC 2023

Maybe it should be Europe/Helsinki? https://docs.lando.dev/guides/how-do-i-set-the-timezone-of-a-lando-service.html

We had at some point changed our server timezones in Trimble and they still are same as Helsinki +2. I think the reasoning was similar - maybe or why not? But actually years later I learned that it's common practice to set servers to UTC 0 - it provides a standardized reference point without daylight saving time adjustments, making it easier to manage and compare timestamps across different systems (eg Sumo + Datadog + Drupal etc), regions, and time periods.

I think Lando emulates server so in that sense it too should be at UTC 0.

I don't think the timezone normally matters much for the local environment. But in some cases when you need to do for example some integrations, it might become a problem if the timezone is not correct.

Less is more - it would be nice if we could revert this.
