Changing your time zone
The global time zone configuration parameter can be changed in config/gitlab.yml:
# time_zone: 'UTC'
Uncomment and customize if you want to change the default time zone of the GitLab application.
Viewing available timezones
To see all available time zones, run bundle exec rake time:zones:all.
For Omnibus installations, run gitlab-rake time:zones:all.
NOTE: This Rake task does not list timezones in TZInfo format required by Omnibus GitLab during a reconfigure: #27209.
Changing time zone in Omnibus installations
GitLab defaults its time zone to UTC. It has a global timezone configuration parameter in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb.
To obtain a list of timezones, log in to your GitLab application server and run a command that generates a list of timezones in TZInfo format for the server. For example, install timedatectl and run timedatectl list-timezones.
To update, add the timezone that best applies to your location. For example:
gitlab_rails['time_zone'] = 'America/New_York'
After adding the configuration parameter, reconfigure and restart your GitLab instance:
gitlab-ctl reconfigure
gitlab-ctl restart
Changing time zone per user
To allow users to change the time zone in their profile, the feature flag user_time_settings should be enabled:
-
Enable the feature flag:
Feature.enable(:user_time_settings) -
You should now be able to see the timezone dropdown in the users' Settings > Profile page.
