How to use Proxmox NTP in a cluster setup?

[MartinRTX]

Hi Everyone. A friend and i are setting up a Proxmox cluster with 2 servers. Right now both server can't really talk because they don't use the same time. We have tried to setup NTP on the server without any luck. The time wont change. We have used this guide: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Configuration_of_Time_Syncronization_(NTP) and tried with the "systemd-timesyncd" settings. NTPD is for some reason not installed on our promox servers.

Hope someone out there can help!

We use Promox 4.4

NTPD is for some reason not installed on our promox servers.

Then install it :-D

apt-get install ntp

Then check if you're getting synchronized:

ntpq -c peers -n

If you want to set the time "by hard", just install ntpdate:

apt-get install ntpdate

And then set the initially, afterwards use ntp to keep it up-to-date:

root@proxmox:~# systemctl stop ntp

root@proxmox:~# ntpdate time.google.com
5 Jul 22:47:04 ntpdate[13040]: adjust time server 216.239.35.8 offset -0.000606 sec

root@proxmox:~# systemctl start ntp

Ok, we fixed it. We found out that we had given the wrong default gateway so they did not get the right time. Thanks for the help!
