title: Docker Timezone in Ubuntu 16.04 Image
body: <p>I have created a Docker container using the Ubuntu 16.04 image. </p>
  
  <pre><code>docker run -it -d --name containername -v /var/www/public --privileged ubuntu
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>after creating the container, I checked the date inside the container:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ date
  Tue Oct 25 08:10:34 UTC 2016
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But, I need it to use the <strong>Asia/Kolkata</strong> timezone. So I tried changing the <code>/etc/timezone</code> file, then <code>docker stop</code> and <code>docker start</code> the container, but <strong>it doesn't work. It still shows the same time.</strong> </p>
  
  <p>How can I change the time zone in the Docker container after creating it?</p>
