Description
It would be great if one could pass the local timezone variable to the container to use, especially handy for the bitcoin debug.log.
For this to work , it requires the tzdata package installed in the image, according to [this wiki article.](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Setting_the_timezone)
Then the user would pass an environment variable in compose:
```
environment:
- TZ=America/Santiago
```
or a -e in the docker command line.
