Nginx shows wrong time/timezone

How to fix Nginx timezone? I've configured nginx to serve a directory but datetime of creation is one hour after my real time.

I've added to /etc/init.d/nginx

export TZ='Europe/Bratislava'

then

sudo service nginx reload
sudo service nginx restart

But it didn't help, there should be 14:19 instead of 13:19.

EDIT

Tried to change Ubuntu default timezone but the datetimes aren't changed. 

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

look for /etc/init.d/ folder and open "nginx" file

$ sudo nano /etc/init.d/nginx and add TZ value for timezone

e.g export TZ = "Asia/Singapore"

Firstly, you need to set your system timezone. You can use timedatectl list-timezones to get the names.

sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Moscow

Secondly, set autoindex_localtime directive autoindex_localtime on; in nginx config file for your site, for example /etc/nginx/sites-avaliable/default. Put the directive before autoindex on;

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        root /var/www/dir;

        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

        server_name _;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }

        autoindex_localtime on;
        autoindex on;
}

Also the problem can be from php.ini. If you use php, change the time zone in [Date]

To change the timezone you can run the following command in your instance:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

and then choose your preferred timezone.

By default, nginx outputs the directory index in UTC time. If you want it to display the time in your local timezone, you should set the autoindex_localtime directive to on.

autoindex_localtime on
