hello all

i prepare the upgrade to proxmox 8 and run the script pve7to8.

the result of the test script:

INFO: Checking for supported & active NTP service..
WARN: systemd-timesyncd is not the best choice for time-keeping on servers, due to only applying updates on boot.
While not necessary for the upgrade it's recommended to use one of:
* chrony (Default in new Proxmox VE installations)
* ntpsec
* openntpd

in system on the node is Chronyd Status disabled and unit is masked.
a while ago i tried to solve it but it was not that important to me. but i also couldnt find some solution

root@hvirt04:~# systemctl status chronyd
● chronyd.service
Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit chronyd.service is masked.)
Active: inactive (dead)


any ideas ?

Hi,
you want the chrony ntp client service: stop and disable the systemd-timesyncd service by running systemctl disable --now systemd-timesyncd.service and start and enable chrony via systemctl enable --now chrony.service
 
the result

root@hvirt04:~# systemctl enable --now chrony.service
Synchronizing state of chrony.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable chrony
Failed to enable unit: Unit file /etc/systemd/system/chrony.service is masked.


what is "Service is masked" ?

If the service is masked, you can unmask it by running systemctl unmask chorny.service and then start and enable it via the commands mentioned above.
 
chronyd was not installed. i though it will be installed since version 7.xxx, as preperation for migration.
hmm. anyway. its solved
