I am just about setting up a new ProxMox due to a HW update.

Unfortunately time is incorrect in PVE

> dpkg-reconfigure tzdata shows:

Current default time zone: 'Europe/Berlin'
Local time is now: Tue Mar 25 17:35:57 CET 2025.
Universal Time is now: Tue Mar 25 16:35:57 UTC 2025.

Correct time would have been 16:35 ....so I expect local time should be 16:35 instead of 17:35
 
Hello Phantomatz! What is the output of timedatectl and chronyc tracking? I can imagine that the BIOS time is set to use the local time, while Proxmox VE is set to interpret the BIOS time as UTC, but that's just a guess.
