timezone in a docker installation

Question

Hello,

I have installed ocs inventory 2.9.2 using Docker (compose version)

Everything works except for timezone.

I have set an extra env varable in docker-compose.yml

environment:
      OCS_DB_SERVER: ocsinventory-db
      OCS_DB_USER: ..........
      OCS_DB_PASS: ..........
      OCS_DB_NAME: ocsweb
      # See documentation to set up SSL for MySQL
      OCS_SSL_ENABLED: 0
      TZ: Europe/Rome

But the time showed in last inventory is still UTC

The docker host has correct timezone (and time)

The thing that I do not understand is that in documentation is written that default timezone is Europe/Paris that is the same of Europe/Rome where I am so it should have been working also in default settings.

Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

Hello,

I was having the same problem but have now managed to solve it. It turns out that the `TZ` variable needs to be set for both the `ocsapplication`and `ocsdb` container:

```

ocsapplication:
  environment:
    TZ: UTC   


ocsdb :
  environment:
    TZ: UTC

``` 

After changing `docker-compose.yml` for this, you will need to rebuild the images 

```

docker compose up --build

```

Good luck!
