How to Set The Timezone in Linux

Connect via SSH to the Faddom server
​

If you do not know the exact timezone you need, use the command
​timedatectl list-timezones.
​
This will provide you with a list of time zones you can browse. You can narrow this down by using timedatectl list-timezones | grep PREFIX where prefix matches is, for example America/ or Europe/.
​

As an example, if you are in a North American timezone and you are unsure which option to use, you can search the options using timedatectl list-timezones | grep America .
​
For Europe, the equivalent would be timedatectl list-timezones | grep Europe/

Set the timezone by using sudo timedatectl set-timezone <timezone>.

For example, for the North America PST timezone, you may wish to use
​sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/Los_Angeles, or sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/Toronto
​
For Europe, you may wish to use sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Berlin or sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/London
