I do not have this problem with Seasons in 4.9.1 using the Simulator driver
under an Alpine base os.
docker-compose logs:
weealpine | weewx[1] INFO weewx.manager: Added record 2023-02-27
14:05:00 PST (1677535500) to database 'weewx.sdb'
weealpine | weewx[1] INFO weewx.manager: Added record 2023-02-27
14:05:00 PST (1677535500) to daily summary in 'weewx.sdb'
And the resulting Seasons skin index.html also shows a local timezone date
as expected.
