Answer 1

If you use docker-compose, just add one line to your docker-compose.yml file.

version: '3'

services:
  ubuntu-local:
    image: ubuntu:16.04
    restart: on-failure
    command: python3 run_my_code.py
    working_dir: /code
    volumes:
      - ./code:/code
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro   # <--add this line to set timezone
    environment:
      - PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
