Description

There seems to be a problem with the time zone for OpenSSH. In principle I pass the time zone as environment variable via Docker-Compose (- TZ=Europe/Berlin). The gitea logs have the correct timestamp. The SSH logs have a different timestamp, which causes problems when using fail2ban.

Example output:

`

docker logs gitea
Jun 4 11:19:06 syslogd started: BusyBox v1.29.3
Jun 4 09:19:06 sshd[19]: Server listening on :: port 22.
Jun 4 09:19:06 sshd[19]: Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.
2019/06/04 11:19:06 [T] AppPath: /app/gitea/gitea
`

I already tried to set the timezone manually on top of the entrypoint script like this:
ln -snf /usr/share/zoneinfo/$TZ /etc/localtime && echo $TZ > /etc/timezone && /usr/bin/entrypoint
The date is set correctly (e.h. when executing date), but the sshd log is still showing the wrong time. Does anyone have any idea what else could be wrong with that? Is the timezone possibly not taken over correctly by s6?

I think #7792 will fix this that you can set your Location on app.ini

@lunny I think this is openssh logging so it is not related to gitea.
@noboevbo I haven't tested how openssh get his information on timezone but you may need to forward or set file
volumes:
- "/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro"
- "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro"

[lunny]

@sapk you are right. This is unrelated with #7792

@noboevbo does my comment resolve your issue ? Can we close it ?

[noboevbo]

@sapk sorry for the delay. I just tested it and the timezone issue is fixed! I had to forward the timezone set files like you've suggested. Thanks!

Perfect. Enjoy using gitea.
