The current docs suggests mounting the hosts /etc/timezone into the watchtower container, but that has no effect.
/etc/localtime
is usually a symlink to/usr/share/zoneinfo/<contents of /etc/timezone>
, but that symlink has to be created. So whatever is in/etc/timezone
does not affect the actual tz database being used in watchtower, and since the image is a base image, no service that updates that symlink ever runs.Instead, this would change the docs to suggest directly mounting the hosts
/etc/localtime
file.Fixes #876
