How do I set Rails config.time_zone to GMT +6?

When I open the rails application.config to set the timezone, I come across an example like this:

config.time_zone = 'Central Time (US & Canada)'

But I would like to try to set the time to something like GMT+6

, unfortunately, if I try to use this value, I get an Invalid Time Zone error. So what name do I need to use to get GMT + 6? I tried to find the name TimeandDate.com but it gave me the same error when I tried to setKyrgyzstan Time

Where exactly is the time zone rail list used? Or do I need to use some other format like +0600

(which doesn't work by the way)

Thank,

If you run

rake time:zones:all OFFSET=+6

you will get a list of cities



* UTC +06:00 *
Almaty
Astana
Dhaka
Ekaterinburg

of which names can be directly used, e.g.

config.time_zone = 'Astana'
+11
