Time Zone Settings Not Effective in Docker Container

[Kevin]

I am encountering an issue where the time zone settings in the MinIO Docker container do not take effect. I have tried setting the time zone using both the TZ environment variable and by mapping the /etc/localtime file, but the container still does not reflect the correct time zone (Asia/Shanghai).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Pull the latest MinIO Docker image.
2. Configure docker-compose.yml with the necessary time zone settings.
3. Run the container using docker-compose up.
4. Check the time inside the container using docker exec -it [container_name] date.

Expected Behavior

The time inside the container should reflect the Asia/Shanghai time zone when checked.

Actual Behavior

The container time does not change and does not reflect the Asia/Shanghai time zone.

We do not care about your local tz. All time in MinIO is UTC
