Home-Assistant.log Time Stamp Incorrect

Configuration
1

I have exhausted my knowledge on how to solve this problem where the home-assistant.log shows a time that is 5 hours ahead of my time/local time (Eastern Time Zone).

Things I have tried:

  • Running the Unbuntu Desktop operating system, I have checked the UI. That time is correct.
  • I have checked via the CLI using the date command and that time and date is correct.
  • I have checked the frontend of HA via LogBook and that time is accurate.
  • I have checked Portainer and the HA container details. Those details reference a TZ of America/NewYork.

I previously ran HASS on a Raspberry Pi 3 without this type of issue.

Does anyone have any ideas on where else I could look to fix this issue? The other topics on this issue haven’t given much insight on other paths to solving the problem.

HA Setup Information

  1. HA Version - Latest One (use WatchTower to keep the containers up to date)
  2. HA Installed within Docker Container
  3. Portainer Used for Docker Admin
  4. OS - Linux Ubuntu 18
  5. Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5

You are trying to fix something that does not need fixing. Read this:

It looks like the configuration used when creating the container used the wrong timezone.

Instead of America/New_York, I had America/NewYork. I created the container using the correct timezone and the home-assistant.log file now show the correct time.

I should have used the following from the beginning = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones

Apologies for wasting everyone’s time.
