[SOLVED] Timesyncd

[godzilla]

Hi,

I see that systemd-timesyncd is not installed by default. I was questioning myself, what if I do install it? Isn't timekeeping important for cluster operations?

Thank you

Hi,

Isn't timekeeping important for cluster operations?

Yeah, it very much is, but systemd-timesyncd is not suited for that at all as it's tailored for desktop use and steps the clock only on (re)boots.

That's why Proxmox projects switched to using the chrony NTP implementation as default since a while.

Oh, ok. My fault. Thank you @t.lamprecht !
