Incorrect timezone on containers about iotstack HOT 7 CLOSED

I'm not near a computer at the moment. Will post an interim solution later today

from iotstack.

I'll push an update next week that will set the time zones correctly for all containers

from iotstack.

Sorry i forgot to get back to you on this

You can edit your ./services/nodered/nodered.env and add TZ=America/New_York or whatever your time-zone is . Run cat /etc/timezone in the terminal to find the correct format

Afterwards run docker-compose up -d and it should be fixed

from iotstack.

This was not working for me. I eventually traced it to there being no "env_file" entry in the nodered grouping in the YAML file. For the record, I did a "git pull" before doing all this.

1. Excerpt from unedited YAML file:

  nodered:
    container_name: nodered
    build: ./services/nodered/.
    restart: unless-stopped
    user: "0"
    ports:
      - 1880:1880
    volumes:
      - ./volumes/nodered/data:/data

2. Test (TZ does not take effect):

$ cat ~/IOTstack/services/nodered/nodered.env 
TZ=Australia/Sydney

$ docker-compose up -d
nodered is up-to-date
influxdb is up-to-date
mosquitto is up-to-date
pihole is up-to-date
grafana is up-to-date
portainer is up-to-date

$ docker exec -it nodered bash
bash-4.4# date

  nodered:

    build: ./services/nodered/.
    restart: unless-stopped

    env_file:

$ cat ~/IOTstack/services/nodered/nodered.env

$ docker-compose up -d
Recreating nodered ... 
mosquitto is up-to-date
grafana is up-to-date
portainer is up-to-date
pihole is up-to-date
Recreating nodered ... done

$ docker exec -it nodered bash

Thanks, I'm working on injecting all the time-zones into all the containers I added the env file to my version and forgot the original one does not have the file yet

from iotstack.

Thanks @Paraphraser Phill.... worked like a charm

from iotstack.

Time-zone has been added for nodered and pihole

If you have an existing nodered and/or pihole it requires you to select complete template from build menu

from iotstack.
