If you are using Docker you can mount the volume for localtime and timezone of your host system.

just add this to your compose.yml:

    volumes:
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro

...will that work in Unraid?

The way unraid templates work you don’t/can’t really just edit the compose file though.

@blaine07 You can add volumes/ports/variables through the Unraid GUI which do the same thing.

So I’ll be able to add this as a variable? Will the variable be “LOGGER_TIMEZONE”? In which case it would be “America/Chicago” for me for example?

Hum maybe this has something to do with Unraid and the time on your machine? I was able to get it working for my own test. My computer is in the America/New_York region.

I did this; now it says this; it's 2011 MY TIME right now:

On this container running "apk add tzdata" was the resolution.

I have never had to manually install tzdata for any other Unraid container ever - is there some way to get this "baked into" Newt so that in the future when this gets re-installed on Unraid it doesn't present itself as issue?
