Troubleshooting FAQ of frequent Docker related problems

I'm having problems with dates/times in JDownloader in my Docker installation - what can I do?

The Docker default timezone is UTC-0 which is what Java will be using as well.
You can define the timezone for your Docker container as environment variable to change it for example:
Name: TZ
Value: Europe/Berlin
