This is largely the same answer, only for tz.
Why your system doesn't have a time zone is up to you. Check your host.

@rayjaymor85 commented on GitHub (Sep 27, 2025):

I had the same issue, I just fired off timedatectl and then copied and pasted the Timezone line (minus the brackets) into nano /etc/timezone

So for example my output for timedatectl was

Local time: Sat 2025-09-27 16:40:50 AEST
Universal time: Sat 2025-09-27 06:40:50 UTC
RTC time: Sat 2025-09-27 06:40:51
Time zone: Australia/Melbourne (AEST, +1000)
System clock synchronized: yes
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: no

I just made a file called /etc/timezone with Australia/Melbourne

No idea why the host doesn't create it properly, my guess is something changed in Proxmox 9 as I had no trouble installing the same container I found this issue on a few weeks ago on my old host.

@deutrino commented on GitHub (Oct 27, 2025):

This was also a problem attempting to install alpine-adguard on a relatively recent Proxmox 9.0.11 install.

Edit:

/etc/timezone appears to have been removed in Debian 13 (or earlier?)

Same error here on a clean install of Proxmox 9.1 trying to setup Proxmox Datacenter Manager. @tremor021 I think this should not be closed.

@tremor021 @MickLesk this is a problem that should be addressed. Several other scripts suffer from this, such as mariadb and glpi. My suggestion is to modify the pve post install script to to create the /etc/timezone file required by several install scripts (or else identify and modify such scripts).

The timezone file is not created because with Trixie is obsolete. See https://git.gsi.de/chef/cookbooks/sys/-/issues/54
It's not a user's duty to create a file that's obsolete, scripts must be updated to use timedatectl show --value --property=Timezone instead.

The timezone will be generated by Proxmox Setup. If i spend time, i create an new VM and See -> timezone is available.

If you are other opinion, make an functional PR in ProxmoxVED, the complete core is different to live.

Edit: an affected user Tell me, that the VED core Work smooth.
