Good morning,

I am running a proxmox 8.3.0 server where I get the following error:

Code:
# systemctl status chronyd.service
Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of chronyd.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units
○ chronyd.service
     Loaded: error (Reason: Unit chronyd.service failed to load properly, please adjust/correct and reload service manager: File exists)
     Active: inactive (dead)

Executing "systemctl daemon-reload" didn't help.

This is my chrony.conf:

Code:
# Welcome to the chrony configuration file. See chrony.conf(5) for more
# information about usable directives.

# Include configuration files found in /etc/chrony/conf.d.
confdir /etc/chrony/conf.d

# Use Debian vendor zone.
pool 2.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst

# Use time sources from DHCP.
sourcedir /run/chrony-dhcp

# Use NTP sources found in /etc/chrony/sources.d.
sourcedir /etc/chrony/sources.d

# This directive specify the location of the file containing ID/key pairs for
# NTP authentication.
keyfile /etc/chrony/chrony.keys

# This directive specify the file into which chronyd will store the rate
# information.
driftfile /var/lib/chrony/chrony.drift

# Save NTS keys and cookies.
ntsdumpdir /var/lib/chrony

# Uncomment the following line to turn logging on.
#log tracking measurements statistics

# Log files location.
logdir /var/log/chrony

# Stop bad estimates upsetting machine clock.
maxupdateskew 100.0

# This directive enables kernel synchronisation (every 11 minutes) of the
# real-time clock. Note that it can’t be used along with the 'rtcfile' directive.
rtcsync

# Step the system clock instead of slewing it if the adjustment is larger than
# one second, but only in the first three clock updates.
makestep 1 3

# Get TAI-UTC offset and leap seconds from the system tz database.
# This directive must be commented out when using time sources serving
# leap-smeared time.
leapsectz right/UTC

What can I do to get it running again?

regards,
Stefan
