Timezone and Locale

The application user interface date and time will be displayed according to the browser's settings. However, for logging and notification purposes, the application will use the value defined in the TZ and LANG environment variables to use the correct time zones and to format number, date and time values.

The default values are TZ=Europe/London and LANG=en_GB if these environment variables are not set.

Configuring the Timezone​

The application user interface date and time will be displayed according to the browser's settings. However, for logging and notification purposes, the application will use the value defined in the TZ environment variable to format time zones.

The default value is TZ=Europe/London if this environment variable is not set.

For example, to change the timezone to São Paulo, add these lines to the compose.yml in directory duplistatus:

environment:
  - TZ=America/Sao_Paulo

or pass the environment variable in the command line:

  --env TZ=America/Sao_Paulo

Using your Linux Configuration​

To obtain your Linux host's configuration, you can execute:

echo TZ=\"$(</etc/timezone)\"

Configuring the Locale​

For example, to change the locale to Brazilian Portuguese, add these lines to the compose.yml in directory duplistatus:

environment:
  - LANG=pt_BR

  --env LANG=pt_BR
