Changing the System Time Zone

Please note that if you are using FLY OS version 3.3.4 on the FLY host computer, you can directly use FLY-Tools to modify the time zone. For other host computers, please refer to the steps below.

sudo timedatectl set-timezone <TIMEZONE>

Replace <TIMEZONE> with the time zone code you wish to use. You can look up time zone codes on the iana.org website. For example, if you want to change the system time zone to Beijing time (Asia/Shanghai), enter the following command:

sudo timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Shanghai

Now, your system time zone has been successfully changed to Shanghai time. You can verify the time zone setting with the following command:
