traefik: Traefik log can't switch the timezone

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

Feature

What did you expect to see?

In my case, I wonder if I can switch the time zone to use the local time, and the traefik log and access log will make more sense and easier to understand

But I search over the traefik official document or github issues, i cant find any options to achieve it

For me:

                volumes:
                        - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
                        - /var/run/log/traefik/access.log:/tmp/access.log
                        - "/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro"
                        - "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro"

did the trick - StartLocal in json-formatted access log became true StartLocal.

Thanks @natlibfi-arlehiko @mbleichner . The feature had been merged on the v1.7 branch of the project. We have to wait for the next 1.7.x release (no ETA yet).

Until then, you might want to use the image containous/traefik:experimental-v1.7 which is built from the v1.7 branch, hence contains the fix.

Hi @mbleichner @natlibfi-arlehiko ,

Thanks to @ldez good ideas, we’ve tried a tiny fix that might be non breaking and such integrated in the v1.7 in #4954. If you want to test it, check the documentation update in this PR, and try the provided configuration with the image dduportal/traefik:gh-3870 which contains the fix.

A side note: the Traefik image based on Alpine should not require to mount your host local’s timezone, as the package tzdata is installed (ref. https://github.com/containous/traefik-library-image/blob/master/alpine/Dockerfile#L2). But as you discovered, this files are absent in the scratch image, hence the need to mount the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo. In both cases, you have to set the environment variable TZ to your timezone, so Go will get the right file in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory.

Same problem here. My host machine is using CEST, yet all access log entries are shown in UTC. Using trafik:1.7 image with:

environment:
  - TZ=Europe/Berlin
volumes:
  - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
  - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
  - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
