TZ not getting time

[zane-shus]

I have set docker Envt to Australia/Sydney

a date command gives this:
root@qbittorrentvpn1:/# date
Fri Dec 25 08:33:11 Australia 2020

So it is picking up Australia.

but on my host, a date command gives this:
zane@server:/$ date
Fri Dec 25 19:35:11 AEDT 2020

Its the right date, but time looks to be UTC time.

Any way to fix this? I would like to use the schedule within qBittorrent to schedule slower periods.

I have the same problem.
With TZ set to Australia/Melbourne, I get: Sun Dec 27 04:43:27 Australia 2020
If I remove the TZ variable, I get date: Sun Dec 27 04:40:54 UTC 2020

I've tried a couple of things:

• mounting /etc/localtime and /etc/timezone to the container
• and setting container time to host time

But neither work.
