MagicMirror using the wrong time

[jasonumd]

@sdetweil I just confirmed my system timezone is accurate. I’m not running MM via docker. I set this up probably 4 years ago. Perhaps I should do a fresh install.

[sdetweil]

@jasonumd just for the sake of fun testing

in the script you use to start MM add

export TZ=???? 

where ??? is your timezone code
add this line before the

npm start

line

if you are using my install script with PM2, then the script located at

~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

@sdetweil I’m not a linux guru. Added and rebooted. but I’m operating via Putty. Am I supposed to reboot while watching the screen and check for something?

[sdetweil]

@jasonumd just seeing if MM reports correctly

[sdetweil]

@jasonumd didn’t need to reboot… if using pm2, then

pm2 status
pm2 restart xx

where x is the number of the line of the MagicMirror app
or the name shown on that same line (I set it up as MagicMirror, others get mm as they started mm.sh)
