alpine-linux-timezone
Timezone setting is now handled by Setup-alpine#setup-timezone
Note: Only for NON uclibc installs!!!
glibc based installs use different timezone setup.
apk add tzdata
ls /usr/share/zoneinfo
Suppose you want to use Brussels First copy the proper zone to localtime
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Brussels /etc/localtime
Now specify your timezone
echo "Europe/Brussels" > /etc/timezone
date
Result: Wed Mar 8 00:46:05 CET 2006
You can now remove the other timezones
apk del tzdata
