Small webserver that can deliver timezone information for geo coordinates. For example, you can request this resource:

http://localhost:8080/api?lng=13.402992&lat=52.517932

And, the service will respond with a json:

{
  "name": "Europe/Berlin",
  "id": "CEST",
  "offset": 7200
}

name is the common name for the timezone. id is the short identifier. offset is the difference in seconds to UTC.

This project based on rust. To run it you have to install rust and cargo and then you can use it with RUST_LOG=info cargo run. Thats all. Or you can use the prebuild docker container.

docker run -p 8080:8080 racemap/tz-service

If you want to build the container yourself, change to the project folder and run docker build -t rust-tz-service .. To start the container after build run docker run -p 8080:8080 rust-tz-service.

This project use that great rust crate to get the timezones: ringsaturn/tzf-rs.
