System Configuration Check - time is offset
-
Hi!
I get this message when I'm on the status tab:
System Configuration Check
The time on this system and on the Reactor host are significantly different. This may be due to incorrect system configuration on either or both. Please check the configuration of both systems. The host reports 2025-04-01T15:29:29.252Z; browser reports 2025-04-01T15:29:40.528Z; difference 11.276 seconds.I have MSR installed as a docker on my Home Assistant Blue / Hardkernel ODROID-N2/N2+. MSR version is latest-25082-3c348de6.
HA versions are:
Core 2025.3.4
Supervisor 2025.03.4
Operating System 15.1I have restarted HA as well as MSR multiple times. This message didn´t show two weeks ago. Don´t know if it have anything to do with the latest MSR version.
Do anyone know what I can try?
Thanks in advance!

Either your host time or your client (browser) system time is off, or both.
On the host system side, make sure you have some kind of time synchronization running and that it can contact its configured time servers.
On the client/browser side, you don't say what platform you are on, but basically, it's the same idea: make sure that a time sync service is running and that it can contact its servers. For Windows, make sure it's configured to "Set time automatically". Windows is also notoriously resistant to syncing the clock -- my system right now says it last sync'd on March 22. Every couple of hours would be preferable. I've linked an article that might help.

@toggledbits @Fanan Oddly, I have this same issue running MSR in Portainer on Proxmox logging in from multiple workstations and have since I updated to the latest version. I did some time sync work and the alert has gone away... but the host time doesn't show for me, oddly. Also, when first loading the MSR page after login it's blank until I click on STATUS.
Brave browser. Will try Vivaldi here shortly. Sorry, haven't had two seconds to even look at logs yet.

@gwp1 said in System Configuration Check - time is offset:

I know about that. Just sit tight, I'll have another build out over the weekend.

@toggledbits I´m running the same setup as @gwp1 I think - running MSR in Portainer. I updated the PC:s time, and now it´s correct. Strange; In Chrome the host time is blank, but in Edge it´s visible.
Thanks guys! -
If you've posted the four-letter code to stop the About page from being presented when you enter the UI by default, that is throwing an error and causing the lack of time display, as well as a blank page. This was reported to me earlier, is already fixed, but I have deemed it not serious enough to warrant a rushed build.
It's not about the browser or anything else, it's about whether or not you've attempted to bypass the About page. It is unrelated to OP's post about time synchronization.

@toggledbits I have indeed used the code... and no, this isn't critical. Once I saw MSR was running and working as intended I moved on. Release AYC.
@Fanan Re time sync: I did a
