By default, the controller node synchronizes the time via a pool of public servers. However, you can optionally configure alternative servers such as those provided by your organization.

ubuntu or debian

1. Edit the /etc/chrony/chrony.conf file and add, change, or remove the following keys as necessary for your environment:

   server NTP_SERVER iburst

   Replace NTP_SERVER with the hostname or IP address of a suitable more accurate (lower stratum) NTP server. The configuration supports multiple server keys.

2. Restart the NTP service:

   # service chrony restart

rdo or obs

1. Edit the /etc/chrony.conf file and add, change, or remove the following keys as necessary for your environment:

   server NTP_SERVER iburst

   Replace NTP_SERVER with the hostname or IP address of a suitable more accurate (lower stratum) NTP server. The configuration supports multiple server keys.

2. To enable other nodes to connect to the chrony daemon on the controller, add the following key to the /etc/chrony.conf file:

   allow 10.0.0.0/24

   If necessary, replace 10.0.0.0/24 with a description of your subnet.

3. Start the NTP service and configure it to start when the system boots:

   # systemctl enable chronyd.service
   # systemctl start chronyd.service
