Re: [weewx-user] reports = local time & PC = UTC

[p q]

Have you considered using a virtual machine? You could put weewx on a vm
and set the time arbitrarily.

Re: [weewx-user] reports = local time & PC = UTC

[Thomas Keffer]

(By "computer clock" I think he means what is in /etc/timezone, that is,
the 'local' time.)

Unfortunately, this is not possible with the present architecture of WeeWX.
Issue #301  outlines why.

Re: [weewx-user] reports = local time & PC = UTC

[John Kline]

For Unix/Linux, setting the clock to UTC is the norm and no tricks are needed 
to get WeeWX to show times in the local time zone.

What OS are you running?  If it is NOT Windows, try running the following 
command and reply with the output.

timedatectl -a

[weewx-user] reports = local time & PC = UTC

[GCC Observatory]

Hello,

Been using weewx for a while now and have always wondered if there's a way 
to configure it to generate reports that use local time (UTC-5 for me) when 
the PC clock is set to UTC.  I'm asking because my weewx runs on the same 
PC as my observatory control software - I'd prefer to set the computer 
clock to UTC, but the last time I did that, it messed up the weewx 
reports.  Can anyone tell me if it's possible to "trick" weewx into 
generating local time reports while keeping the computer clock set to UTC?

Thanks
