How to set the locale/timezone?

[yuis-ice]

Your question

Hi. The docker result/export html date shows different time from my time (Japan), and from the computer also. How to set the locale, time, date, timezone?

Hi @yuis-ice do you use the Docker container? If you add -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro the container will use the same time as the server where it runs. Do that work for you?

Hi, I tried it but looks not working.

Hi @yuis-ice what OS are you using when you run the containers?

[yuis-ice]

Hi, it's Ubuntu 20.04.4

Looking at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24551592/how-to-make-sure-dockers-time-syncs-with-that-of-the-host it seems people uses -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro v- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro can you try and see if that helps?

你好。docker result/export html date 显示的时间与我的时间（日本）不同，也与计算机显示的时间不同。如何设置区域设置、时间、日期、时区？

What about adding the -e TZ=“Asia/Tokyo” parameter to the docker?

[yuis-ice]

It still doesn't work with -e TZ=“Asia/Tokyo”

$ docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/sitespeed.io -e TZ=“Asia/Tokyo” sitespeedio/sitespeed.io https://mysite.com

Hmm strange, adding TZ works for me (my base OS is a Mac):
