Thank you for looking into this, Here is mentioned info: docker inspect for watcher_api container (binds for localtime and timezone are identical for all containers): "HostConfig": { "Binds": [ "/etc/kolla/watcher-api/:/var/lib/kolla/config_files/:ro", "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro", "/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro", "kolla_logs:/var/log/kolla/:rw" ], If this could help: Time zone on debian host was setup during OS installation Base OS is synced to NTP server with systemd-timesyncd Best regards, Stefan czw., 27 kwi 2023 o 18:31 Pierre Riteau <pierre@stackhpc.com> napisał(a):

Hi Stefan,

Kolla Ansible is configured to bind mount both files when running Debian:

watcher_api_default_volumes: - "{{ node_config_directory }}/watcher-api/:{{ container_config_directory }}/:ro" - "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro" - "{{ '/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro' if ansible_facts.os_family == 'Debian' else '' }}" - "{{ kolla_dev_repos_directory ~ '/watcher/watcher:/var/lib/kolla/venv/lib/python' ~ distro_python_version ~ '/site-packages/watcher' if watcher_dev_mode | bool else '' }}" - "kolla_logs:/var/log/kolla/"

Can you share the HostConfig/Binds part of `docker inspect watcher_api`. For example this is the configuration for placement_api on a non-Debian host:

"HostConfig": { "Binds": [

"/etc/kolla/placement-api/:/var/lib/kolla/config_files/:ro", "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro", "kolla_logs:/var/log/kolla/:rw" ],

Hi all,

Recently I created fresh deployment based on kolla-ansible yoga and debian 11. Everything works correctly except Watcher services. Containers are in constant restart loop. On Debian host OS time-related files are as follows:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Mar 21 07:53 localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Warsaw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14 Mar 21 07:53 timezone x@control01:/etc$ cat timezone Europe/Warsaw

However every container have:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Apr 11 02:00 localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14 Mar 21 07:53 timezone (nova-api)[root@control01 etc]# cat timezone Europe/Warsaw

In watcher logs I found error: 2023-04-27 10:08:12.607 7 ERROR python-watcher tzlocal.utils.ZoneInfoNotFoundError: 'Multiple conflicting time zone configurations found:\n/etc/timezone: Europe/Warsaw\n/etc/localtime is a symlink to: UTC\nFix the configuration, or set the time zone in a TZ environment variable.\n' 2023-04-27 10:08:12.607 7 ERROR python-watcher Which I believe is caused by wrong symlink for /etc/localtime in containers.

Did anyone experience similar issue and know how to resolve it.

Best regards, Stefan
