Help

I’m running Directus on an Unraid instance but it keeps on crashing. Here are the logs: `CronError: ERROR: You specified an invalid date.
at CronTime.getNextDateFrom (/directus/node_modules/.pnpm/cron@4.3.3/node_modules/cron/dist/time.js:130:19)

Can anyone please help me with this?

To anyone visiting the thread in the future, set the timezone env variable in your directus instance and it should start working again
