Problem

The hermes container runs in UTC by default, causing cron jobs scheduled for local time (e.g., 2 AM EDT) to execute at the wrong time (2 AM UTC = 10 PM EDT previous day).

Solution

Added TZ=America/Montreal environment variable to the hermes service in compose.yml. This ensures:

  • Container clock uses Eastern Time (America/Montreal)
  • Cron schedules interpret times in local timezone
  • Automatic DST handling (no manual schedule changes needed)

Deployment

cd /opt/data/infra/assets/compose
git checkout master
git pull
git merge fix/hermes-timezone-setting
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#lazyworkhorse

Verification

docker exec hermes date
# Should show EDT/EST time, not UTC
