Setting Local Time for your Server

os.date() will format in local time. For windows you can configure local time in the control panel. For Linux a typical process might look like this. You can use the timedatectl command to list time zones and grep for your city:

timedatectl list-timezones | grep Toronto

Then set the time zone like so:

sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/Toronto

And confirm you have the right timezone set with this:

timedatectl

You will mostly likely need to restart your Iguana server to pick up the new local time.
