How to set Rasa container timezone?

Rasa Open Source

I am running Rasa locally using Docker compose. The logs are showing time in UTC, but I want it to be in my local timezone. How to I change that?

Hi @filipedfs. You can include it as an env variable in your docker compose file. For example:

  environment:
      - TZ=Asia/Singapore

Thank you Juste. I tried that but I don’t know why it didn’t work. I solved my problem in a different way, but later I will return to this issue.

I meet same problem, can you sharing experience about “a different way”?

Sorry for the delay. I only saw your question now. I think the solution is not the best but for my purposes it was enough. I created a helper ‘get_current_datetime()’ and inside it I call datetime like this:

now: datetime = datetime.now(tz=pytz.timezone('America/Sao_Paulo'))
