Stuck at UTC time - Not using docker container time?

[knaku]

I am stuck with UTC time when running kimai as a docker instance. I have ensured that both my kimai and mysql docker instance is in the correct timezone and not UTC.

I have tried using both -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro and -e "TZ=Continent/City" as well as using tzdata, not that either should give a different result.

How to repeat:
(Use Amsterdam timezone as an example which is +1 hour of utc time)
docker run --rm -ti -p 8080:8080 --name kimai2 kimai/kimai2 -e "TZ=Europe/Amsterdam" (... etc)

@knaku I'll support for setting TZ via an env var. I think this will suffice.

ln -snf /usr/share/zoneinfo/$TZ /etc/localtime && echo $TZ > /etc/timezone

Just as quick note: PHP has the date.timezone setting, which can interfere with the TZ as well.

And there is an open PR for Kimai itself regarding timezones.
