Configure chrony to set system time from the network.

Configures chrony by modifying /etc/chrony.conf. Before new values are added to the chrony configuration, all lines starting with "server", "pool" or "peer" are removed. The 'timeservers' option provides a very high-level way of configuring chronyd with specific timeservers. Its value is a list of strings representing the hostname or IP address of the timeserver. For each list item, the following line will be added to the configuration: server \<HOSTNAME/IP\> iburst The 'servers' option provides a direct mapping to the server directive from chrony configuration. Its value is a list of dictionaries representing each timeserver which should be added to the configuration. For each list item, a server directive will be added the configuration. Currently supported subset of options which can be specified for each timeserver item:

  • 'hostname' (REQUIRED)
  • 'minpoll'
  • 'maxpoll'
  • 'iburst' (defaults to true)
  • 'prefer' (defaults to false) The leapsectz option configures chrony behavior related to automatic checking of the next occurrence of the leap second, using the provided timezone. Its value is a string representing a timezone from the system tz database (e.g. 'right/UTC'). If an empty string is provided, then all occurrences of leapsectz directive are removed from the configuration. Constraints:
  • Exactly one of 'timeservers' or 'servers' options must be provided.
