OK, now here's a curly one for you all.

I posted earlier about added the timezone parameter to my jellyfin docker container:

Thanks again for your help, but I still have an issue...

So the Debian host (ugreen DH2300 NAS) shows the correct time (UTC+1), and now, thanks to the TZ= parameter added above if I go to the terminal for the container (docker app, select container, select jellyfin, select settings, go to terminal tab, launch bash) then a date command also shows the correct time / same as the host and my PC

Here's the weird part though - the jellyfin dashboard (the gui) STILL shows the UTC time, not the UTC+1 daylight saving time. I.E 1 hour earlier than actual/correct time.

For the avoidance of confusion, I had to restart the container to get the timezone parameter loaded. So it has definitely been restarted with it.

Any ideas where the setting is to get it to report correctly ? I mean it's not a big deal but it's niggling at me.

Unsure, but you might need to delete the container and recreate it. Or even worse go back through the install/setup process and re-import everything. Depends on when jellyfin reads in that var.

Which docker image are you using? As a recall one of the common ones has this hard coded somehow. It may be the one at "Linuxservers:"

Try a different docker image:

I'm using the default/official container image jellyfin/jellyfin one

As per a post elsewhere in the thread - it turned out it was the browser settings changing the NAS/container time stamp to what it thought was "local" time in the browser gui.

Thanks for the thoughts, appreciated
