An Ubuntu 16.04 server has it's time zone set to America/New_York
using the command
sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York
This is confirmed by running the commands
timedatectl status | grep "Time zone"
Time zone: America/New_York (EST, -0500)
date +%Z
EST
However MySQL thinks that the system's time zone is still UTC
. MySQL 5.7 server (running within a docker container) has been restarted befpre querying for the MySQL timezone
Output of MySQL Query show global variables like '%time_zone'
system_time_zone UTC
time_zone SYSTEM
Did something go wrong?
