chrony cookbook
Configures the time synchronization application chrony
as a client or master timeserver, maintaining the accuracy of the system clock (similar to NTP). Isolated networks are supported as well.
Requirements
Platforms
- Debian / Ubuntu
- CentOS / Redhat
Chef
- Chef 13+
Recipes
client
Configures the node to use the chrony
application to keep the node's clock synced. If there is a node using the chrony::master
recipe, the client will attempt to sync with it. If there is not an available master, the attribute list ['chrony'][:servers]
is used (defaults are [0-3].debian.pool.ntp.org
). If there is a master node, the ['chrony'][:allowed]
and ['chrony']['initslewstep']
will be set to allow for syncing with the master.
default
The default recipe passes through to the client recipe.
master
The node will use the chrony
application to provide time to nodes using the chrony::client
recipe. The master sets its own time against the attribute list ['chrony'][:servers]
(defaults are [0-3].debian.pool.ntp.org
). Access to this master is restricted by the ['chrony'][:allowed]
attribute set in the recipe (default is to the x.y.* subnet). If the ['chrony'][:servers]
are empty, the master will set its ['chrony']['initslewstep']
to the first 3 client nodes returned by search (it will set it to the first 3 ['chrony'][:servers]
otherwise).
Usage
Nodes using the chrony::client
recipe will attempt to sync time with nodes using the chrony::master
recipe. If there are no chrony::master
nodes found, the contents of the attribute list ['chrony'][:servers]
are used (defaults are [0-3].debian.pool.ntp.org
).
The current configurations are supported:
1) Clients with direct NTP server access
2) A master with direct NTP server access with clients pointing to it
3) Isolated master and clients, using the initslewstep
to keep the master and clients synced. Manually setting the server's time may be required.
