Setting the Timezone

To configure the timezone for a software event broker you can use the --env TZ=<timezone> environment variable when the container is created. For a step-by-step procedure to create a software event broker Docker container, refer to Setting Up Container Images initial set up guides.

To configure the timezone on Solace Appliance Event Broker, refer to the Initial Setup guide.

In the example below, we will set up a timezone to Canada/Eastern using a simple configuration suitable for test deployment.

sudo docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 55555:55555 --shm-size=1g --env username_admin_globalaccesslevel=admin --env username_admin_password=admin --env TZ=Canada/Eastern --name=solace solace/solace-pubsub-standard 

You can check the configured timezone using the show clock Solace Event Broker CLI command. To see the list of available timezones use the docker run --rm <imagename>:imagetag lsTimezones command.
