Time zone issue for plans, checks, and prunes

Opened this issue · 3 comments

Note: if you have a question or need support please post in the discussions area.

Describe the bug
Plans with cron jobs, checks and prunes are skewed by 2 hours.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Go to a plan a schedule it say for 3am.
  2. Click your repo, operation list and it is scheduled for exactly 5am
  3. The same goes for all the others I mentioned.

Expected behaviour
I'd like to know when/where to correct this.

Additional context
I commented in this issue, but it got closed, unfortunately. #162

Sorry about that, seeing that I never actually commented on what I'd fixed in that bug. The right way to set the timezone is by setting TZ=<your timezone> e.g. TZ=America/Los_Angeles in your compose config.

I've gone ahead and updated the README and Wiki.

Thanks for taking note. That fixed the issue immediately.

I need to re-open this, just to double-check it's not my own mistake.

The timezone setting seems to work for plans and repository checks but NOT for repository prunes.

Could somebody please double-check?
