Xcluster ovl - timezone

The timezone in xcluster is specified in /etc/TZ file on the VMs. The entire timezone data-base is not installed so the user friendly way, for instance Pacific/Auckland can not be used. Instead the more basic format must be used. Please read;

man 3 tzset

The default timezone is Central Europe (CET);

CET-1CEST-2,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3

Usage

Copy the timezone overlay to some own directory earlier in the $XCLUSTER_OVLPATH. Then edit the /etc/TZ file and include ovl/timezone;

echo "NZST-12:00:00NZDT-13:00:00,M10.1.0,M3.3.0" > \
  $($XCLUSTER ovld timezone)/default/etc/TZ
xc mkcdrom timezone; xc start

A good idea is probably to add this to the disk image. You may have to install diskim first;

wget -O - -q \
 https://github.com/lgekman/diskim/releases/download/v0.4.0/diskim-v0.4.0.tar.xz \
 | tar -I pxz -C /home/guest/xcluster/workspace -xf -
xc ximage timezone

Set timezone with an enviroment variable

If ovl/env is included it is possible to set the timezone using the xcluster_TZ variable;

export xcluster_TZ="NZST-12:00:00NZDT-13:00:00,M10.1.0,M3.3.0"
xc mkcdrom env; xc start

In this case ovl/timezone can be omitted, the xcluster_TZ variable has precedence.
