Timezone BST (British Summer Time)

[3246]

...you know, the one with all the rain! ️

My time zone is set to Europe/London and the time indicator shows (UTC+0) when it should be showing UTC+1 as it is currently Summer (looking out of the window makes a mockery of that season -ed)

The server's timezone is set to UTC:

root@my ~ # timedatectl
               Local time: Mon 2024-08-26 11:04:58 UTC
           Universal time: Mon 2024-08-26 11:04:58 UTC
                 RTC time: Mon 2024-08-26 11:04:58
                Time zone: UTC (UTC, +0000)
System clock synchronized: yes
              NTP service: active
          RTC in local TZ: no

Ref. https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/12255/timezones-w-r-t-backups/4# etc

For example, my local machine shows:

axel@localhost-live:~$ timedatectl
               Local time: Mon 2024-08-26 12:11:54 BST
           Universal time: Mon 2024-08-26 11:11:54 UTC
                 RTC time: Mon 2024-08-26 11:11:54
                Time zone: Europe/London (BST, +0100)
System clock synchronized: yes
              NTP service: active
          RTC in local TZ: no

@3246 what is the question ? server timezone is always UTC on Cloudron servers. The timestamps are converted to the browser timezone when showing logs in the browser . Is that the timezone you are referring to? Maybe your browser hasn't picked up the correct timezone ?

[3246]

Sorry I didn't make myself clear, @girish The timezone displayed in Cloudron's settings should be BST (British Summer Time) instead of UTC+0, it should be UTC+1.

"In the UK the clocks go forward 1 hour at 1am on the last Sunday in March, and back 1 hour at 2am on the last Sunday in October. The period when the clocks are 1 hour ahead is called British Summer Time (BST)." - gov.uk

Ah gotcha. I think this is similar to https://github.com/OrchardCMS/OrchardCore/issues/3510 . The DST portion is "auto adjusted" . I am yet to verify if this is true with our code though.

[girish]

Yeah, the cron module we use takes care of DST. So, essentially, if you choose your timezone, DST will be taken care of.

@girish said in Timezone BST (British Summer Time):

DST will be taken care of.

but seemingly displayed incorrectly as per @3246 screenshot

Unfortunately, the browser does not give us DST offset information to display. Only the UTC offset.
