In order to use the config value `timezone` we need to have the tzdata installed. More info about this option at https://docs.ddev.com/en/stable/users/configuration/config/#timezone

I'm surprised about that issue, haven't heard of it before on DDEV. I guess the thing is it's on a limited runner? |

Looks good to me.
Since DDEV runs with Docker-in-Docker, it checks for tzdata on the host, which in this case is a Docker image.
Side note: I see that tzdata is already preinstalled in the Traefik router (Alpine image):
$ docker exec ddev-router apk info -e tzdata
tzdata
