Automatic Timezone Daemon
A Linux daemon to automatically update the system timezone based on location.
How It Works
- The current location is retrieved from GeoClue
- The timezone of the current location is determined using tzf-rs
- The timezone is updated via
systemd-timedated - Then, the daemon waits for the location updated signal from GeoClue, and repeats from step 1 when it happens
Note: The timezone choice may not be accurate if very close to a timezone border due to tzf-rs using simplified shape data.
Requirements
- GeoClue
- systemd
- The user must be allowed to use the
org.freedesktop.timedate1.set-timezoneaction (rootor Polkit rule) - The user must have a running GeoClue agent or the GeoClue configuration must allow the absence of agent with an empty agent
whitelist(see also Stebalien/localtime - Configuring GeoClue, geoclue/geoclue#74)
Please see the examples/ directory for sample configurations.

Alternatives
This service depends on the tzf-rs package which bundles timezones and their geographical borders,
here are some alternatives which have made different trade-offs for performance and accuracy:
- github.com/Stebalien/localtime: Depends on the unmaintained github.com/bradfitz/latlong Go library (although if you prefer Go, github.com/ringsaturn/tzf could be used).
- Gnome Automatic Time Zone (Source Code): Depends on the
tzdatapackage and Nominatim Web API for distances.
