Server Version#: 1.29.0.6244
I cannot seem to get Plex to use the local timezone for logs and scheduled tasks. It seems to consistently default to UTC. Here’s what I’ve tried/confirmed:
- Confirmed host is on EET timezone.
- Confirmed container has env variable TZ set to EET
- bashed into container and ran env, confirmed tz=EET
- Ran “date” on host and in container, and correctly shows EET time.
- checked /etc/timezone in container, it is set to Etc/UTC. Tried mapping /etc/timezone to hosts /etc/timezone which is properly set to EET, restarted container, still using UTC even though containers /etc/timezone now shows EET timezone.
- Redeployed container with TZ env set properly to EET
Despite the containers “date” command showing the correct tz time, the plex logs are still showing UTC timestamps.
I can’t seem to figure out what is causing it to force UTC. Any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance.
