- I assumed that if the host OS time is off that all related services/containers would be off as well as they would be relying on the hostOS for reference. Your comments seem to imply that I should not be concerned about the correct timezone in the hostOS.
As I’m running screenly on top of balena, at that point the timezone is more than cosmetic (as you appreciate). I need signs to display at the correct time based on the specified schedule.
I have defined the variable you mention, though the use of ENV appears to be what is specified in the docker file (according to this). So instead, I created a new Environment Variable called TIMEZONE with value Europe/London.
Doing so hasn’t made any difference to the results of running timedatectl ;-/ should it?
- So I’m still left with my original puzzle - and perhaps this is where I will have to go back to the screenly forums - how do I check that screenly is configured against the correct timezone…?
Thank you again.
