TZ env variable

[woven herald]

Is it possible to set the a TZ env variable for a railway project? I have a nodejs script that uses node-schedule. And would be nice to set it in my local time.

use dayjs to convert from utc

^ what Brody said. Generally speaking, you should always keep system time in UTC, and convert it to whatever your application needs.

Ok. Would just be easier if railway supported TZ as env variable.

that would not be the proper way, what rc said is how every online service does it
