@techaimail Thanks for the question! We are investigating and will update you shortly.

@techaimail, Could you please let us know what built-in Docker containers/image are you leveraging? and provide more details on your application framework.

Just to highlight, you could take a look at this generic configuration and management FAQ ‘How do I set the server time zone for my web app?’ which outlines the steps for adding the time zone App settings.

I have tried a similar repro on this and appears to work for NodeJs:

If you’ve set WEBSITE_TIME_ZONE and TZ simultaneously, please try clearing WEBSITE_TIME_ZONE, as this will override TZ.

@AjayKumar-MSFT I have set the WEBSITE_TIME_ZONE but the time is still incorrect, how can I fix it?

Time should be 11:24

joalcava, Apologies for the delay! I noticed that you have already raised a GitHub issue on this.
However, since this channel is reserved for ‘Azure docs’ questions- For doc feedback and content improvements, we recommend posting technical questions on the technical forum where one of our specialized engineers in the subject or the Azure community members can provide the best possible answer to your scenario or question.

@AjayKumar-MSFT Thanks for your response, I have figured out how to solve it. However there is no information about it in the docs, the values on the list of available timezones does only work with Windows.
The values that do work in Linux are the ones retrived by the package tzdata (on debian)

@joalcava Are you setting WEBSITE_TIME_ZONE or TZ env variable?

[joalcava]

@scottmckenzie WEBSITE_TIME_ZONE

[SharmaAnshuman]

@AjayKumar-MSFT WEBSITE_TIME_ZONE = 'Asia/Kolkata' not working for linux app service

[AjayKumar-MSFT]

@SharmaAnshuman,
You could try with this app setting:

After setting that, this is the outcome:

@AjayKumar-MSFT Thank you, it worked.

[SharmaAnshuman]

@AjayKumar-MSFT it is not working on consumption plan

Thank you @AjayKumar-MSFT , I tested with TZ => Europe/Rome and it works like a charm!

For anyone looking, these TZ codes are different from the Windows codes. Here's the reference database: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
