I made a mistake when choosing time zones in docker and the configuration file of my nodes. How to change the timezone correctly to avoid suspension?

The timezone usually doesn’t matter, you just need a synced clock.
How to change the timezone is highly depends on used OS.
Ex.

Thank you for answer.

I meant that if I change the time zone in docker and config, and then reboot container, will there be a situation in which the data will be repeated for some time, for example, if the clock is moved back? Will this cause problems?

Usually you do not need to provide a TZ to the container, the docker daemon will use a system clocks.
So better to do not setup TZ for the individual container, unless you really need it (some software uses server’s clocks and TZ to show dates), storagenode doesn’t require it.
