You can update your droplet's timezone by running the following command:

sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo /etc/localtime

Hi, i tried this but did not make a change.

I have a VPS in San Francisco (SF1), and it showed originally EST time:

Thu Feb 26 01:08:06 EST 2015

So I made this change:

$ export TZ=PST
$ date
Thu Feb 26 06:28:48 PST 2015

Now it shows PST, but is still off by 8 hours (it is now Thu Feb 25 22:28:48 PST 2015 - on West Coast USA).

I have tried both these:

sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles /etc/localtime
sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/PST /etc/localtime

and they did not change a thing.

How do I get the REAL PST time?

i logged out, and then logged back in about 9 hours later, and the time is correct now:

$: date
Thu Feb 26 07:05:59 PST 2015
