Hello,

im already desperate about changing my AWX 20.0.0 (running in kubernetes) timezone.

All templates are static Europe/Prague.  
For some maintenance jobs im using AWX api to obtain some relevant data ( like job start/finish/status etc.)  
Im strugling with API timezone which is set UTC and therefore all my outputs are one hour moved.

In my #/api/v2/config i see:

“time\_zone”: “UTC”

I already tryed to force`env` to pod like

env:

- name: TIME\_ZONE

value: Europe/Prague

or

tryed to add volume like:

```auto
- mountPath: /etc/timezone
name: awx-configmap-timezone
readOnly: true
subPath: timezone
- mountPath: /etc/localtime
name: awx-configmap-timezone
readOnly: true
subPath: timezone

```

with config map:

```auto
timezone: |
Europe/Prague

```

but AWX-web ignores any of these settings and `date` always return UTC time :

```auto
bash-5.1$ date
Sat Mar 5 12:49:21 PM UTC 2022

```

Is here anyone who can help if its somehow possible to edit /api/v2/config or somehow force pod to use different timezone…

Thank you in advance  
Martin

UPDATE:  
I managed to force all pod containers to use CET… but AWX-API still uses UTC

for anyone interested,

define config map settings.py by adding:

```auto
USE_TZ = True
TIME_ZONE = 'CET'

```

API is now CET with correct time in my timezone
