The easiest way to do this now is via the DigitalOcean API.
First, use a
GETrequest to get a list of your databases, and take the ID of the database you’re looking to change the settings for.Then, use this API call: https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/api-reference/#operation/databases_patch_config
Using your auth token and the body:
{“config”: { “default_time_zone”: “Europe/London” }} <-- Change the timezone as you wish.
This should set the timezone for your server 👍
I got in touch via the support ticket and the team promptly changed the timezone setting to what I needed.
Any update about this? It is a necessary functionality.
