# Chrony NTP Client/Server
|
||||
|
||||
Modern NTP implementation for time synchronization. Chrony is designed for systems with intermittent network connectivity and is the default NTP client on modern Linux distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- Fast initial time synchronization
|
||||
- Client mode: sync time from NTP pools/servers
|
||||
- Server mode: serve time to local network clients
|
||||
- Automatic conflict resolution with systemd-timesyncd and ntpd
|
||||
- Firewall integration for server mode
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Client-only mode (default)
|
||||
|
||||
Sync time from public NTP pools, don't serve time to others:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# host_vars/example.yml
|
||||
ntp_timezone: "Europe/Paris"
|
||||
ntp_pools:
|
||||
- "0.fr.pool.ntp.org"
|
||||
- "1.fr.pool.ntp.org"
|
||||
- "2.fr.pool.ntp.org"
|
||||
- "3.fr.pool.ntp.org"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Server mode
|
||||
|
||||
Serve time to local network:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# host_vars/ntp-server.yml
|
||||
ntp_timezone: "UTC"
|
||||
ntp_server_enabled: true
|
||||
ntp_allowed_networks:
|
||||
- 192.168.1.0/24 # Configures both chrony and firewall
|
||||
- 192.168.27.0/27
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Client syncing from local server
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# host_vars/client.yml
|
||||
ntp_pools: [] # Don't use public pools
|
||||
ntp_servers:
|
||||
- server: ntp.local.lan
|
||||
options: iburst prefer
|
||||
- server: 192.168.1.1
|
||||
options: iburst
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Logging
|
||||
|
||||
**Default: journald** - Logs to systemd journal (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# View chrony logs
|
||||
journalctl -u chronyd -f
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Optional: File-based logging** with automatic rotation
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
ntp_log_backend: file
|
||||
ntp_log_measurements: true
|
||||
ntp_log_statistics: true
|
||||
ntp_log_tracking: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Variables
|
||||
|
||||
See [defaults/main.yml](defaults/main.yml) for all configuration options.
|
||||
|
||||
## Verification
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check chrony status
|
||||
chronyc tracking
|
||||
|
||||
# Show current time sources
|
||||
chronyc sources
|
||||
|
||||
# Show detailed source stats
|
||||
chronyc sourcestats
|
||||
```
