How do I change my server timezone?

Learn how to change your servers timezone from the default

Updated

Your server timezone can affect when cron jobs run and it's helpful to be in a consistent timezone.

By default, server timezones are typically UTC, but may vary by hosting provider. Hatchbox doesn't change this, so you can SSH in and set the timezone.

ssh root@ipaddress

# List the available timezones
timedatectl list-timezones

# Set the time zone
timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York

If you need to do this on many servers, you can use the Scripts feature in Hatchbox to set the timezone and run it on many servers.
