Timezone offset only affects top-right timestamp, not Time Distribution panel #2878

Description

I’m running GoAccess with Nginx on Ubuntu. My server’s timezone is set to UTC+00:00, but I need GoAccess reports to display times in UTC+05:00, without changing the server’s timezone.

What I tried

  • Changed timezone in Nginx configuration → no effect.
  • Updated timezone in GoAccess configuration file (goaccess.conf) → this only updates the top-right report timestamp, but does not affect the Time Distribution panel.
  • Tried other methods (environment variables, log format tweaks) but none worked for the distribution chart.

Actual behavior

  • Top-right timestamp correctly shows UTC+05:00 after config change.
  • Time Distribution section still shows times in UTC+00:00 (server timezone).

Expected behavior

  • GoAccess should apply the configured timezone consistently across all panels, including Time Distribution, not only the top-right timestamp.

Environment

  • OS: Ubuntu (server timezone: UTC+00:00)
  • GoAccess version: [add your version, e.g. 1.9.2]
  • Web server: Nginx
