The time zone issue on the tasks page

[terrellgf]

The start time and end time in the flexget page is always GMT timezone and not using my system timezone.

root@f8d3be86c1c8:/config# flexget status
There is a FlexGet process already running for this config, sending execution there.

I have a similar issue. in addition I get this when flexget start:

tzlocal() does not support non-zoneinfo timezones like Europe/Madrid. \nPlease use a timezone in the form of Continent/City'

I think your issue is different. Python normally loads zone info files from the system. What OS are you on? Do you have a /user/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid file?

hi @gazpachoking ,it's an ubuntu 22.10 container image.
I installed the tzdata package and now the error seems gone. is that supposed to be a dependency? (my python knowledge is near zero)

the container doesnt have a /usr/share/zoneinfo directory. I have no idea why 🤷‍♂️. I do have a /home/flexget/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pytz/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid, though
(and now /home/flexget/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tzdata/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid as well)

@gazpachoking @santiagozky I was just about to open an issue for this as well. I'm also using a ubuntu 22.00 container. Here is what I did to trigger the issue.

1. Everything was running fine, Flexget was running as a daemon.
2. I take my config file and I create a copy of it test.yml with some tweaks.
3. I test my new config flexget -c test.yml check or w/e the command is. I notice it creates a db file and what not.
4. Seeing that my new config is good, I backup my old and rename the test.yml to config.yml. My daemon has autoreload so I trust that it will read the new config. I go to bed.
5. I wake up and I see nothing in my logs (web UI). I have tasks that run every 30mins and they did not run.
6. I go to the container and I ask the daemon for that status but It says it cant find anything running. but I see the PID still
7. I check the container logs and I see the TZ error above.
8. I restart the container and the container fails with the same TZ error.
9. I remove the TZ environment variable and it works fine again.

Indeed, it looks like that may be necessary on certain platforms that don't include their own timezone data. Can someone please open another ticket to track this, as it has nothing to do with the original report.
