WeChat Cloud Hosting FAQ (1)

Q1: 8 hours difference between cloud hosting?

A: The container system time defaults to UTC Coordinated Universal Time (Universal Time Coordinated), which is 8 hours away from the local time zone CST (Shanghai Time):

When building a base image or making a custom image based on the base image, creating a time zone file in the Dockerfile can solve the time zone inconsistency problem within a single container, and the time zone problem will no longer be bothered by the subsequent use of the image.

1. Open the Dockerfile.

2. Write the following to configure the time zone file

FROM centos as centos  COPY --from=centos  /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Shanghai /etc/localtime RUN echo "Asia/Shanghai" > /etc/timezone

3. Rebuild the container image and redeploy with the new image. Or directly upload the code package with the new Dockerfile to redeploy.
