How to set time format to 12h?

[stevehoek]

Using the latest homebridge-raspbian and cannot figure out how to get the logs displays in Homebridge Config-UI-X to be in 12h format. Various searches point me to the underlying Linux configuration, but not sure how to access that in Raspbian because all searches find are instructions for how to change it in the Raspbian GUI's digital clock.

The log timestamp format is not configurable - it is provided directly from the homebridge process.

When Node.js 14 is released later this month, the time stamps will use your the format preferred by your current locale.

That's strange since on my Homebridge Pi using this image it is 24h, but at another location I have Homebridge running in a QNAP container using your latest Docker image, and there the log format is 12h

That may be differences in how Node.js compiled for different platforms - before v14 the date localisations had to be explicitly enabled to work.
