How to change timezone

Modified on Fri, 25 Oct at 5:15 PM

This is a quick guide to change the timezone in a Pulse-IT in a docker deployment. 

The same configuration would apply to Automate-IT.

In case of deployment on Windows, the configuration changes should occur in the agent.ini file.


Let's say your initial time zone is Paris, and you want to change to New York. 


Step 1: Server

In the .local.env configuration file, 

  • Find the line #TIME_ZONE=Europe/Paris
  • Uncomment it
  • Change the timezone accordingly. If you don't know the exact format of the timezone, a full list is available here
  • The line in the configuration file should look like for example: TIME_ZONE=America/New_York
  • Save the file

Restart the app by running  ./embrace-app.sh --restart


You should get:


Step 2: Worker node

The idea is the same, except that this TIME_ZONE line is not included by default, so you will have to add it at the end of the configuration file. 

Restart the worker node app by running  ./embrace-app.sh --restart


In the end, you should get:
