Using docker-compose to set containers timezones

Question

I have a docker-compose file running a few Dockerfiles to create my containers. I don\'t want to edit my Dockerfiles to set timezones because they could change at any time b

Answer 1

version: '3.6'
services:
  mysql:
    image: mysql:5.6
    restart: always
    container_name: dev-mysql
    command: mysqld --character-set-server=utf8mb4 --collation-server=utf8mb4_unicode_ci
    restart: always
    environment:
     - TZ=Asia/Shanghai
     - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password # set the root password
    ports:
      - '3306:3306'
    volumes:
      - "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro"
      - "/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro"

This my docker-compose.yaml of mysql

Reminder,you need recreate container,other than restart. if you change the yaml need to recreate

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml stop
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml rm
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml start
