Daylight savings time and now() in templates

I’m running HA in docker. If I connect to the container and execute date it reports the correct local date/time. So that just reports 17:45

In the test templating page {{ now() }} reports 16:45.

How can I get the template to report the “correct” time?

Found the problem. I had to change time_zone: EST to time_zone: America/New_York
