Using NTP and CloudFlare, fix your system time.
- OnionOS 4.2 beta (at least) must be installed for this to function.
- Wifi enabled
- Drag the
App
folder from this repo to the root of your SD card. Hit "Merge" on macOS and whatever does the same thing on the Windows.
- By default, the time is set to UTC-0. Your timezone is probably not UTC-0. To fix this, open the
launch.sh
file withinApp > TimeQuickFix
in a text editor and changeexport TZ=UTC-0
to whatever your UTC offset is.⚠️ This part is both important and slightly confusing. Example: astern USA (New York, DC, Atlanta, Florida etc.) is listed above as UTC-5:00. However, because of daylight savings time (which runs from Mar to Nov each year) it is "technically" UTC-4.- On top of that, the TZ env is backwards. Meaning, eastern folks should not be UTC minus 4, but UTC plus 4. Confusing, I know. But, all in all, your end result should be
export TZ=UTC+4
if you are in the eastern USA region.- Thank you to XK for helping with this.
My recommendation is to make two launch.sh
files. One for right now, one for when your region is no longer observing DST. When DST is over, simply rename the second launch.sh to the original name, launch.sh
. The name of the copy you make does not matter.
- tl;dr: Find UTC offset, change the minus to plus or plus to minus, subtract 1 if your region observes daylight savings time. If your region does not observe DST, you will never need a second file.
This app is born out of a desire to get cloud saves to and from my Miyoo Mini, and that project can be found here.
These features are likely to come to OnionOS in the coming weeks/months. If and when that happens, consider this repo obsolete. If need be, I will update with minor fixes if anything needs changing.
All of these apps are powered by simple Linux commands. Feel free to edit them how you see fit.
If this has helped you, I don't want anything. I want a BlueSky invite. Please send me a BlueSky invite.
