      good days,

      I'm using the guacamole app, but I have the problem that all the remote RDP connections appear to me with 2 hours less, and it's like ignoring the timezone.

      If I connect via RDP, the timezone is correct.

      any ideas?, thanks

        @jesus per https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/configuring-guacamole.html , you can set the timezone property . On Cloudron, you can edit /app/data/guacamole.properties using the File manager . Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of information on what you should set this to (no examples in their docs).

          It says The format of the timezone is in the standard IANA key zone format . So, maybe you can try

          timezone: Europe/Berlin

            thanks, that's it, but it doesn't seem to have had any effect,

            once modified the file and added the timezone line: Europe/Berlin,
            I stopped the guacamole container and it started again.

            But all the connections still have a delay of 2 hours.

            It doesn't occur to me what else I can do. I would like to be able to change the timezone of the container, but even though I can connect via terminal, don't let me keep it inside.

            thanks

              @jesus Can you try this:

              • Place the app in recovery mode . app -> repair -> enable recovery mode
              • Then, open a web terminal
              • Set the TZ now. I guess export TZ=xxx ?
              • Then, /app/code/start.sh (this will start the app)

              Now test out guacamole. Does it work? If it does, I will fix the package to make the TZ customisable.

                Thanks, it doesn't work, I tried with export TZ=147 and with export TZ='Europe/Madrid', but it still appears 2 hours late on all remote connections.

                  @jesus I found https://lists.apache.org/thread/w3bgt2voy5tm0qlo5y4j946sl49j8h6f . I wonder if the user preferences has any effect.

                    Otherwise, I think you can ask the mailing lists at https://guacamole.apache.org/support/

                      Thank you very much, that has worked, deactivating the redirection in the group policy.

                      In the Group Policy Management Editor, navigate to Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Device and Resource Redirection. > Disable setting Allow time zone redirection.

                      I have a long task to do on about 100 servers... but glad to know it's up and running.

                      all the best.

                        @jesus so the TZ stuff isn't required, correct? Just double checking if I have to make any fixes to the package.

                          modifying the TZ does not cause any effect on my machines, I don't know if it will be useful to others

                            I am currently encountering a challenge in regards to the same thing. We have a set of customers who access AWS through Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), which is configured to align with their local time zones on their personal computers.
                            However, we have recently integrated Apache into our system and it appears to be presenting some difficulties. The time zone within Apache does not seem to synchronize with the RDP settings, which is causing some operational issues.
                            Is there a way to harmonize the time zones in both RDP and Apache so they function in unison?

                              @Abcoa01 might be best to ask this question upstream - https://lists.apache.org/list.html?dev@guacamole.apache.org
