I have two Boom units and two Radios.  All four had been connected to
squeezenetwork.com and showed my local time.  Recently I purchased a
Synology NAS (DS920+) and installed LMS within Docker (thank you to
others on this forum who wrote primers on how to do that!).

I noticed that my Boom units were showing UTC while the Radio units were
showing local time. So I read all (that I could find) posts here on the
board that related to questions about getting Squeezebox Boom to display
local timezone time.  

I understand that Boom doesn't have a timezone setting in it. I verified
that my Boom does show PST/PDT when connected to squeezenetwork.com. 
Unfortunately while the media server at squeezenetwork.com allows
setting timezones for a Boom, the LMS doesn't seem to have that feauture
baked in.

Based upon what others had mentioned, I updated my NAS server's timezone
to Pacific. The date command confirmed local time was set.  Then within
the Docker container I defined a TZ environment variable and set that to
America/Los_Angeles. From a SSH session, I ran "docker exec -it
<container ID> date" and verified that the time within the container was
also showing local time. The log for LMS has timestamps showing local
time zone.

My Boom units are now displaying local time.  The reason I made all of
these changes to the host and the docker container was because I
understood that was where the Boom was getting the time display info
from.

Any corrections, or additional information from others that might help
folks in the future is appreciated.
