    @potemkin_ai looks like you can set GENERIC_TIMEZONE as suggested by https://docs.n8n.io/getting-started/installation/docker-quickstart.html#setting-timezone . On Cloudron, you can edit /app/data/env using the file manager and restart the app.

    @girish thank you!

    Is there a way for Cloudron to pick up for that purpose a Time Zone that I'm configuring at the settings page?

      @potemkin_ai Currently, no, but I think that's a good idea worth investigating!

        @girish thanks, yes, that would be very nice, if n8n container's time zone (and probably other services) would be regulated that way.

        As for the logs - I realized that we might speak about different kind of logs here - n8n stores execution logs, that might fill up the disk very quickly: https://community.n8n.io/t/hard-disk-full-where-to-delete-logs/2298

        Here are the environment variables that seems like of the most importance at n8n:

        GENERIC_TIMEZONE=
        WEBHOOK_TUNNEL_URL=https://FQDN/ #this one, to make sure webhook URL will work fine
        N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY=.. #to avoid loosing credentials on docker restart
        
        #clear execution logs
        EXECUTIONS_DATA_PRUNE=true
        EXECUTIONS_DATA_MAX_AGE=672

          @potemkin_ai ah, i see. Do you think the defaults you have provided are reasonable? If so, I can put them as part of the default install.

            @girish absolutely!

            It makes n8n to perform in right timezone, have proper webhook URL, keep credentials (not loosing then during the docker rebuild), avoid disk overflow from the executions log.

                  @potemkin_ai I’m struggling to get the time zone set up. Do you have any suggestions as to what I did wrong? These are my env settings:

                  Set the logging level to 'debug'
                  export EXECUTIONS_DATA_SAVE_MANUAL_EXECUTIONS=true
                  export EXECUTIONS_DATA_SAVE_ON_ERROR=all
                  export EXECUTIONS_DATA_SAVE_ON_SUCCESS=all
                  export N8N_LOG_LEVEL=info
                  
                  GENERIC_TIMEZONE='Europe/Berlin'
                  TZ='Europe/Berlin'
                  WEBHOOK_TUNNEL_URL=https://top.level.domain/
                  N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY='redacted'
                  
                  
                  EXECUTIONS_DATA_PRUNE=true
