Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf/issues/137

Hi, first of all thank you for this great gaming solution :) Second, I want to set my timezone correctly. Currently it is showing like this:

which is two hours late compared to my local time.
How can I change time zone (Europe/Poland) using docker compose file ?

Timezone should be as simple as setting the TZ env variable, ex:

docker run -e TZ=Europe/Warsaw --rm -it --entrypoint date ghcr.io/games-on-whales/base-app:edge
Wed Oct  9 21:21:56 CEST 2024

You'll have to set this additional env variable in all the apps defined in your config.toml, see the docs linked below on how to do it.

The us there in your screenshot refers to the keyboard layout instead, you can see how to change that in the docs.

Feel free to re-open if this doesn't work!

Hi, @ABeltramo thanks for quick reply. I followed your instructions but it worked half part. Below is my definition of Steam application with added TZ env var and screenshot when it was running with opened shell window.

As you see shell is recognizing changed time zone but Sway is not. I'm guessing TZ env variable is not passed to Sway correctly.

Sorry about that, I'll look into it. We are probably missing a call to tzselect somewhere..

This turned out to be a specific issue with Waybar clock, I've applied this workaround for now.

You should be able to test it out by just updating the images using:

docker pull ghcr.io/games-on-whales/steam:edge
