If the container instructions say to set the TZ variable, this means that they bring all the necessary timezone information (for all timezones around the world) with them inside the container. For Alpine Linux, this would be the 1.5 MB (uncompressed) tzdata package.

If you are instructed to link to those files on the host system, the container usually doesn’t come with the tzdata package and the only way for it to use your timezone is to use the information from the host system by mounting the 2 files.

However, if you don’t mount these files, the container will usually run in UTC and won’t observe DST. So, all the times in log files and everything regarding time will be in UTC.

Anything supporting an SQLite database would technically be a “flat-file” CMS… just saying. ;)

And if you’re going to be the only content manager, why not go the SSG way with Hugo, Jekyll, etc.?

I’m using OwnTracks on the phone. No complaints at all.

I’m using Traccar for this.

I’m waiting for Actual to support multiple currencies. Until then, as an Apple user, I’m using iFinance which works on all my platforms.

traefik-kop which allows me to use Docker-Compose labels for Traefik even on my other Docker hosts without the need for Docker Swarm or K8s.

Just a sidenote: zigbee2mqtt is not required unless you specifically need the MQTT part of it. I’m using the official ZHA plugin and everything works as expected. With the added bonus that I can easily backup everything (incl. device pairings!) and restore it to any other Home Assistant.
