This bit of code should be doing that. - https://github.com/pterodactyl/daemon/blob/6efa32d107b333955a2d00e1ac805988b45f5f08/src/helpers/timezone.js#L32

/etc/timezone is a text file which is set to America/Los_Angeles, but the time is wrong when checking logs and in the console. It is 2:22 PM right now PST, however, the time displayed in the console is UTC. A screenshot on Imgur in a link below.

Did you rebuild and restart that server container after making changes?

[eggroll-bot]

I never made any changes, but just in case, what are the commands to rebuild the containers?

[DaneEveritt]

Theres a button in the admin CP that will rebuild a server container. Once that is done you need to restart the server. Feel free to re-open this issue if that doesn't resolve the problem.

try with adding "timezone_path": "/etc/localtime" to your core.json config file if you are using Ubuntu.

/srv/daemon/config/core.json:

  "docker": {
    "socket": "/var/run/docker.sock",
    "autoupdate_images": true,
    "timezone_path": "/etc/localtime",   <----- add this line
  },

Rebuilding the server container as @DaneEveritt suggested did not work, however, what @kaganus suggested worked.

Thanks, @kaganus.
