The system timezone is configured by symlinking /etc/localtime to a binary timezone identifier in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory.
ls -l /etc/localtimeCopy
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Dec 10 12:59 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC
Alternatively, you can also check the current system’s timezone by displaying the contents of the /etc/timezone file.
$ cat /etc/timezoneCopy
Etc/UTC
Changing the Timezone Using the timedatectl
To list all available time zones, you can either list the files in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory or use the timedatectl command.
$ timedatectl list-timezonesCopy
...
Europe/Oslo
Europe/Paris
Europe/Podgorica
Europe/Prague
Europe/Riga
Europe/Rome
Europe/Samara
...
Once you identify which time zone is accurate to your location, run the following command as sudo user:
$ sudo timedatectl set-timezone your_time_zone
