Greetings.

I have been playing around in bookstack for a little while now, and noticed that the time stamp on for example revisions is wrong. It looks like it uses UTC+00, where I live in UTC+01.
I have changed the date on the host itself, but it doesn't seem to change anything in bookstack.
Is it me who has overlooked something obvious?

Thank you.

Hi @7uppi,
Sorry for my late response.

Have you tried adding and setting the following .env option to your instance with your timezone?:

4b79d5e4e8/.env.example.complete (L35-L38)

Well @ssddanbrown, apparently I skipped that section when reading through the .env.example. Sorry about that.

Thanks for the help nevertheless. It worked like a charm.
