Configuring NTP Synchronization

This guide explains how to synchronize your system’s time with NTP servers using UTMS.

Prerequisites

  • UTMS installed and configured.

  • Administrative privileges for system time adjustments.

Steps

  1. Verify NTP Server Settings: List the configured NTP servers:

    poetry run utms config print ntp.servers

  2. Add or Update NTP Servers: Add a new NTP server:

    poetry run utms config set ntp.servers[+] "pool.ntp.org"

  3. Perform a Time Sync: Run the sync command:

    poetry run utms ntp sync

    Output:

    System time synchronized with NTP servers.

  4. Schedule Regular Syncs: Use a cron job or systemd timer to automate synchronization:

    poetry run utms ntp sync --cron
