Server Time

This page explains how to view and change the server's timezone and system time in GoAdmio. The server timezone affects log timestamps, cron schedules, SSL certificate validity checks, email headers, and every date shown in the panel.

Location: Admin Panel → Server Management → Server Time

Overview

GoAdmio servers run on the system clock, which is kept in sync with a time source and displayed in the configured timezone. The Server Time page lets you:

View the current server date, time, and timezone
Change the timezone to any city/region worldwide
Enable automatic time synchronization (NTP)
Configure Daylight Saving Time (DST) handling

> Important: Changing the timezone affects when cron jobs run. A cron scheduled for 02:00 will run at 02:00 in the new timezone after the change. Review your scheduled tasks after switching timezones.

View Current Time

The Server Time page shows:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Current Date/Time | The server's current clock reading in the configured timezone |
| Timezone | The active timezone (e.g., Africa/Cairo, Europe/London) |
| NTP Status | Whether automatic time synchronization is enabled |
| UTC Offset | The current offset from UTC, including DST if active |

Change the Server Timezone

Via the Admin Panel

Log in to the GoAdmio Admin Panel.
Navigate to Server Management → Server Time.
Select the desired timezone from the dropdown. Timezones are listed by city/region (e.g., Africa/Cairo, Europe/Berlin, America/New_York, Asia/Tokyo).
Enable Automatically synchronize time (NTP) if it is not already on.
Click Save.

The change takes effect immediately. No reboot is required.

Via CLI

GoAdmio provides a command that sets the timezone automatically (typically by detecting the server's location or applying a default):

```bash
/go/timezone
