Changing the time zone on a debian based system is fairly simple.
To check your current timezone run
user@server:~# date
which should return something like
Mon May 13 00:58:26 UTC 2019
showing that the current timezone is set to UTC
To change the system timezone run
user@server:~# sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York
- change America/New_York to a location relevant to your physical location using the "TZ database name" in this table
To check your new current timezone run
user@server:~# date
which should return something like
<nowiki>Sun May 12 21:00:13 EDT 2019<nowiki>
showing that the current timezone is now set to EDT
