Updating time zone configuration

Hello everyone! I'm using Railway as my hosting provider, and I'd like to change the time zone configuration for my application. Could you please guide me on how to update the time zone setting in Railway? I want to set it to UTC+1 . Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Solution:
generally it's best practice to keep server/database time in UTC and only convert out to the desired time zone when needed

it's okay, better to keep container in UTC because the databases are also in UTC

plenty simple enough to convert UTC to UTC +1, and doesn't require modifying the containers timezone 🙂

thank you all, I will keep it UTC, then convert it to client time zone in the frontend ?
