Changing timezone

[benhartwich]

Hi,

how can I change the date / timezone of the dashlet? It seems that UTC is used by default although my server and icinga has the right timezone set.

Thanks, what´s the best practise when using docker environment?

Rebuild the image and run it. Likewise, push it to your own registry. That applies for any changes made to the source code btw, also re-arranging dashlets.

Thanks. Hmm, I think an environment variable would be perfect - if it´s somehow possible. Or using the system´s date. It would be a little bit complicated staying updateable when I rebuild this image for my own, wouldn´t it?

Sure, I just did not have time to look into a solution here. Likely you can create a similar one like #54 - feel free to create PR.

You can test the linked PR.

michi@mbpmif ~/dev/github/dashing-icinga2 (feature/clock-timezone-config=) $ DASHBOARD_TIMEZONE="Europe/Berlin" binpaths/ruby/2.6.0/bin/smashing start -p 8005

Thank you very much - so the new environment variable will be DASHBOARD_TIMEZONE? Have I to build the docker manually or can I use docker pull?

That's not in Docker atm, that's just a patch for the source code to try.
