[SOLVED] the time is not right

[Tigger-86]

Hello,
I have created a new lxc container with debian 12.
noticed that the time is offset by 2 hours....
I then wanted to use timedatectl status
change something... but no matter what has to do with timedatectl... is a problem....
get the feedback:
Failed to query server: Connection timed out

what am i doing wrong ?

You cannot set the time in an LX(C) container the way you would, because you only have ONE clock on the host. The offset is due to different timezones (I suppose e.g. UTC vs CEST, which is exactly 2h at the moment). Just run dpkg-reconfigure tzdata to configure the timezone correctly.
