IncusOS - Operation Center: Public/FQDN NTP server is not being queried

IncusOS
1

Hallo :waving_hand:

Currently setting up a VM on an IncusOS host to run Operation Center. Everything works just fine except the time synchronization. If I configure a public NTP server using a FQND (time.nrc.ca) I am getting the following WARNING.

Screenshot 2026-09-12 at 15.29.25
Screenshot 2026-09-12 at 15.29.252566×512 23.5 KB

No issue if I use an internal IP as the NTP server.

Relevant configuration is as follow:

 dns:
    domain: infra.ipster.haus
    hostname: oc
    nameservers:
      - 10.21.41.1
    search_domains:
      - haus
    dns_over_tls: true
  time:
    ntp_servers:
      - time.nrc.ca
    timezone: UTC

There is no DNS request at all coming in on 853 for a DNS resolution.

The VM is able to communicate with outside since it downloads the images and such.

Anything I should look for ?

Here are some part of the logs:

Cheers !

Did you try specifying the NTP server by IP address to see if it’s some issue with DNS availability at that stage of the boot?

Yes, same behavior.

It that matter, when the host up, changing network parameters invoke a network reload and throws the same error.

FWIW, network is statically configured (IPv4) with SLAAC for IPv6.
Therefore, routes (default) is created once ip address is assigned.
