is it possible to change the timezone of the cron container?

[UBA-NE]

I've tried using an environment variable, which sees to change the timezone, but the time is still off by two hours in my container.

environment:
- TZ=CET

I know this issue is a year old, but maybe someone has the same problem. To change the timezone of the container, you have also to install tzdata inside the container.

So your custom Dockerfile would be something like this:

FROM willfarrell/crontab

RUN apk add --no-cache tzdata

Then you can set the timezone via the TZ environment variable.

@willfarrell maybe it would be useful to install tzdata by default as timezone issues could be common when it comes to specific cron times
