So there are two things. One- synchronize the time/timezone etc. with host machine to containers. Two - Set the timezone for containers. In the first case, whatever time/timezone is set on host machine, it will be synchronized to containers.
In second case, you can use different timezone on host machine but can set a specific time zone for containers.
In case of synchronization, we bind mount host machine's localtime file. Which is true for linux but for windows it may not work.
In case of setting time zone, it is independent of host machine, whether it is windows or linux.
Try below settings and see if it works for you on "developer system" and "ubuntu dev server" both as reported by you.
For EDT timezone:
environment:
TZ: "America/New_York"
or
environment:
- TZ=America/New_York
