time on the dashboard shows local time of the client and this does not correlate with server/scheduler time

hi All!

I run DAGU on a server at another timezone (US time). But I access the DAGU web page from my laptop at another timezone (Europe time).
This leads to a not proper time values being shown on the dashboard.
Example: I start the job now at 18:00 my local time. now I check on the dashboard, it shows this job as started at 9:00 and running from 9:00 till 18:00 as per the timescale on the screen (a long-long green bar...). Once the job is finished, say 18:05, on the dashboard I see it as completed at 9:05 in the past ...
This is frustrating me :)

Is there a way to get the time zones aligned somehow?

thanks!

Hi @kamandir,

I understand that the time zone difference is causing the problem. As a temporary workaround, would it be possible to set the server timezone to European time, at least for the Dagu process? This can be done by setting the TZ environment variable when running the command, for example:

TZ=Asia/Tokyo dagu start-all

I think we should fix the UI issue to respect the time zone on the dashboard and display the correct timeline based on the browser's local timezone.
