I have configured the cockpit web console on my fedora server to automatically install updates at 04:00 every day. I am in the CEST time zone, so 02:00 UTC. It also makes the server reboot after installing the updates.
The behaviour I expected was that my server would reboot a little after 04:00, but it rebooted at 22:00 (10pm), which isn't the time I specified whether it's interpreted as CEST or UTC. It is 6 hours earlier than I expected, and would correspond to EDT, which I don't use.
After checking with timedatectl, I have confirmed that my server's RTC is on time and that it is in the correct time zone.
I haven't found documentation relating to this and there doesn't appear to be an option in the web console either. For the time being I've set the update time to 10:00 to compensate for the offset.
