Subject of the issue

Time zone doesn't reflect what is stated in the environment variable.

Deployment environment

• vaultwarden version: 1.24.0

• Install method: Docker image

• Clients used: Web vault, Android

Steps to reproduce

1. Inside docker-compose.yml, set the environment variable to:

environment:
      - TZ="America/Toronto"

2. Go to the Admin panel.
3. Go to Users.
4. Created at and Last active are only in UTC.

Expected behaviour

Time zone is expected to display in the specified time zone in the docker-compose file.

Actual behaviour

Time zone in docker-compose file is ignored and instead Vaultwarden uses UTC.

Works for me.
Within docker-compose.yml you need to remove the quotes " around the value.
