Leave it blank for a Meow that should run indefinitely. This is checked using the server's local clock, so make sure the server's time zone is set correctly. Leave it blank for a Meow that should run indefinitely.
**Time zone:** expiry is checked against the `TimeZone` setting, not the raw OS clock:
- **IIS** — `appsettings.json` ships with `"TimeZone": ""`, which falls back to the Windows Server's own local time zone (the original behaviour — no change needed on upgrade).
- **Docker** — `docker-compose.yml` sets `TimeZone=UTC` by default, since containers are otherwise timezone-ambiguous. Override it to an IANA id (e.g. `Australia/Melbourne`) if you'd rather enter expiry times in local time than UTC; the image includes `tzdata` so real zone names resolve correctly.

## Version History ## Version History
- **v1.1.1** — Meow expiry now checked against a configurable `TimeZone` setting instead of the raw OS clock: IIS keeps its existing local-time behaviour by default, Docker defaults to UTC (overridable to any IANA zone; the image ships with `tzdata`)
- **v1.1.0** — Docker deployment (`Dockerfile` + `docker-compose.yml`, configurable data directory, volume-backed DB/uploads), Meow expiration (`ExpiresAt` field, automatic playback filtering, auto-migrating column for existing databases) - **v1.1.0** — Docker deployment (`Dockerfile` + `docker-compose.yml`, configurable data directory, volume-backed DB/uploads), Meow expiration (`ExpiresAt` field, automatic playback filtering, auto-migrating column for existing databases)
