To ensure your Akash node maintains accurate time synchronization, we recommend using chrony
over systemd-timesyncd
. Chrony is a versatile implementation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) and ensures better time accuracy and reliability.
The guide is broken down into the following sections:
Installation
Chrony is straightforward to install and configure. Run the following command to install chrony:
apt -y install chrony
Chrony automatically disables the systemd-timesyncd service upon installation, so no additional configuration is needed.
Rationale
We found that some servers were out of sync, and all attempts to fix systemd-timesyncd
were unsuccessful. Chrony, used in various production environments, ensures perfect time synchronization.
