That's the reason why I need to use apt-get update and apt-get install -yq tzdata firstly on my Dockerfile when using the Ubuntu 20.04 for my Docker base image.

Of course, we can simplify my Dockerfile when using the Ubuntu to be the Docker base image:

FROM ubuntu:20.04

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -yq tzdata

ENV TZ="Asia/Taipei"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
