Trying to change the TZ so that my area appears for "Today" rather than Berlin!

[scooke]

Hello, hope some coding guru can help me out here. My VPS is in Germany, and thus whenever I hit the "Today" button in Dawarich it brings me to Berlin. But, I would like a specific city in Canada to appear.

I read https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/15088/how-to-use-the-rails-console and the last docs link to https://docs.cloudron.io/packages/dawarich/#rails-console, and from there went to the cli, to /app/code/ and entered app/code# export TIME_ZONE="America/Toronto", but nothing else happened to indicate it worked. I restarted the app, went to "Today" and I'm back in Berlin.

Hello @scooke
Did you try to put that into the /app/data/env.sh file?

export TIME_ZONE="America/Toronto"

?

[scooke]

@james There is no such file there. I shall make one with those deets in it and see what happens.

Hello @scooke
If there is no /app/data/env.sh that is strange.
The app would generate that on every app restart.
I just tried a fresh @dawarich installation and indeed the file is there.

[scooke]

Nope, it wasn't there until I made it, and now there is just export TIME_ZONE="America/Toronto" in it.

Hello @scooke
Are you sure? Do you use a volume or anything for the @dawarich app?
Because inside the /app/data/env.sh should also be the OTP_ENCRYPTION_PRIMARY_KEY, OTP_ENCRYPTION_DETERMINISTIC_KEY and OTP_ENCRYPTION_KEY_DERIVATION_SALT and if these are missing there should be all sorts of problems.
So I can't really imagine the file missing completely and even after an app restart.

Under /app/code there are similar looking files, like .env.development, .env.template, .env.test, but even there, there isn't an actual .env.sh.

But, yes, I am sure. There was no env.sh file, I had to make it, and thus there also aren't any of the other values you list. I suppose it is working. Do you want to go in a check?
