## Time synchronization settings (timesyncd.conf)
|
|
|
|
This file configures the *systemd-timesyncd.service* and allows for a very
|
|
simple NTP-sync setup. Edit the **NTP=** line with a space-delimited list of
|
|
your desired timeservers. In the event those timeservers are not available, you
|
|
can configure backup servers by listing them on the **FallbackNTP=** line, again
|
|
space delimited.
|
|
|
|
I've set the defaults in this file to be the worldwide NTP.org servers. This
|
|
should work for pretty much anyone that uses this file, but you *really should*
|
|
customize the list to use geographically closer timeservers (check out the list
|
|
[here](https://www.ntppool.org/zone/@)) or the timeserver on your LAN, etc.
|
|
|
|
When you're done editing this file, make sure you restart the *timesyncd
|
|
service* and check it's status to verify it is now using one of your defined NTP
|
|
servers.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd.service && systemctl status systemd-timesyncd.service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Finally, you can confirm things are working properly by running timedatectl.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
timedatectl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should see the correct time listed and *NTP synchronized: yes*. |
