This cookbook uses the tzdata
package to update your system timezone.
It is only tested on Debian/Ubuntu, but would be easy to adapt and pull requests are welcome.
timezone[:zone]
- The name of the timezone to configure. Eg.America/New_York
. This value will be used as your/etc/timezone
and the corresponding zoneinfo file will be symlinked to your/etc/localtime
. Default:UTC
timezone[:tz_file]
- File containing the configured timezone. Default:/etc/timezone
Installs the tzdata
package and updates the timezone using
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
if needed.
