Is the way I would do it ...

I have had to make permission changes on Nginx in the past in order to have Wordpress run properly  but I have no idea if that would cure the 'needs Apache issue'.

You need a separate VPS with just Apache2 and MySQL 5.7 2G RAM. That's $10 mo for me with 5TB bandwidth so the cost is very minimal.

I know that I set one of my servers to -5GMT but the Nginx log is still +0000 or UTC time is relative as they say

[CODE]$ php -r "echo date_default_timezone_get();"

America/New_York[/CODE]

PHP uses that server's default time zone

I have an Apache install on the same server on a non-standard port and the log shows +0000 GMT also

[CODE]mysql> select now();

You might try resetting the server time zone and see what happens with the ClickerVolt time -- may fix just that IDK --easily enough changed back

Thanks for the debugging info -- much appreciated

in clickervolt.php

[CODE]    14  namespace ClickerVolt;

    17  // TODO: add external cron option[/CODE]

Thanks for your contribution
