When I try to
apt-get install -y tzdata
the command line option for picking timezone shows up. I am trying to use this in a script to do some setup, how can I make the apt-get run without user input?
I know to reconfigure the tzdata I can do
echo "America/New_York" > /etc/timezone dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive tzdata
But when installing I need it to run fully even if it doesn't set the right timezone, I can always reconfigure it.
I tried
echo 5 | apt-get install -y tzdata
but it is not working as expected.
This is the script I used
(Updated Version with input from @elquimista from the comments)
#!/bin/bash export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime apt-get install -y tzdata dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata
Seems to work fine.
As one liner:
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends tzdata
