Description
Current (2020 april) technique Rudder uses to set up the time sync client relies on ntp.
On Ubuntu since 16.04, on Debian since 9 and on many other OS, neither ntp neither Chrony is used anymore.
These distros are using systemd-timesyncd, with the following things to check :
- if any, any ntp remains are disabled / uninstalled
- /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf contains the time server sources
- timezone is defined (command : timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Paris)
- systemd-timesyncd systemd service is enable and has been restarted if needed
I don't have the skills to create this, but Rudder's devs surely do.
ntpd is for servers. systemd-timesyncd if for clients. We need this.
