As we have a production Confluence v6.11.0 installed on Linux machine and when i checked the system time in system information in confluence it is showing 07.12.43 and when i checked time on Linux terminal it is showing 16.22.45 IST.
The question here is ..
1. Because of the different time the confluence backup scheduled job is running in day time @ 11 AM.
2. How to set the time zone in confluence so that the server time and confluence time will be the same.
Hi Team,
Actually, confluence server shows the time as JVM has I mean whatever JVM has been configured time same time confluence server will show in system information.
In our case, the JVM is showing the correct time but in confluence showing wrong, so added the below parameter in <Confluence_installation>/bin/setenv.sh file and it started working fine.
CATALINA_OPTS=”-Duser.timezone=Asia/Calcutta ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
Is there also a comparable solution for people in the Atlassian Cloud?
All filtered Jira issues, which are presented by a plugin/gadget within a Confluence page, show times with the wrong time zone and not the one of the user. The user has correct time zone setup and in Jira directly this is working, but does not show any effect on Confluence looking at the same issues. Any ideas?

For people using the official docker container:
The environment variable JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS is honored by the java binary. So you only need to set this environment variable:
docker run -e JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=" -Duser.timezone=\"Europe/Berlin\" " atlassian/confluence-server
Confluence will then use the given timezone.
