+## Container time zone
+
+`passenger-docker` does not configure a time zone for the container. Dora does
+do it by installing the `tzdata` package and supporting a `$TIMEZONE` variable.
+This variable _must_ be set to a directory and file unter `/usr/share/zoneinfo`,
+e.g. `Europe/Berlin`.
+
+To see all possible values for `$TIMEZONE`, issue:
+
+```bash
+find /usr/share/zoneinfo -follow | sed -E 's_(/[^/]+){3}/__'
