How to set the time for MinimServer. Mine is 1 hour behind
How do I set the correct time for MinimServer? It’s time is 1 hour behind
See the image below to see the time I am referring to. I just rescanned and the time reported is 1 hour behind

My setup running MinimServer 2.2 update 253

ASUSTOR AS3302T NAS

Latest ADM update is 3.2.1.R9Q2

NTP Service is enabled

NAS time is correct


Thanks!

RE: How to set the time for MinimServer. Mine is 1 hour behind
The minimserver.log file should have a line like this near the start:

Current time is Sat Oct 05 23:07:51 BST 2024 in time zone Europe/London

Does this show the correct time when MinimServer was started and your correct time zone?

No, this is what it says Sunday October 6 4:38 PM PST

"Current time is Fri Oct 04 06:32:59 GMT-08:00 2024 in time zone GMT-08:00"

This sounds like an issue with daylight saving time. On your NAS, select Regional Options > Time Zone. Is daylight saving time enabled or disabled? If it is disabled, this would account for the problem.

I have checked this on my AS1002T and I see the same problem. It is caused by ASUSTOR ADM not providing timezone information to Java and MinimServer in the standard format for Linux systems. The timezone is passed as GMT-08:00 which doesn't allow for daylight savings adjustment. On other Linux-based NAS systems such as Synology and QNAP, the timezone is passed correctly as US/Pacific or America/Tijuana.

I will let the ASUSTOR developers know about this problem.
