Hi, I’ve trying to change the timezone used by tryton server, but until now I don’t know how to config. The linux server and postgres database shows a correct time but trytond still logging as UTC timezone and all the new data in the DB’s tables, we need setup it to UTC-3. How can I do it? thanks in advance. ---

You can not change that. trytond must always run in UTC. It is the client that is responsible to display date/time in the user timezone. ---

Hello, I am new to the post. 2 years ago I use tryton for my little lab with the gnuhealth module. It really is wonderful and very functional. I have the same problem for a long time without solving. The company is configured in the correct time zone (america / santiago) which is UTC -3. However, all reports appear with UTC 0. I have also checked that the data is saved to the postgres database at UTC 0. I run tryton 5.0 on opensuse leap 15.2. Thank you very much ---

They are not the standard tryton reports. Reports are the gnuhealth defaults. But, we have already tried many ways with no success, finally we solve it in an unsuitable way by adding “datetime.timedelta (hours = 3)” in the report. ---

The method [`Report.format_datetime`](https://hg.tryton.org/trytond/file/ccaa706ed324/trytond/report/report.py#l362) take a timezone as parameter. So usually you pass the company timezone to. ---

There is no timezone on date only datetime can have a timezone. So as I said we no report in standard which display datetime.
