On a Debian/Ubuntu based system, Chrony can be installed using apt. Once chrony is installed, we need to start and enable the daemon so that it starts automatically when the server boots up. The commands to accomplish this are as follows. In order to check the status of the daemon, we can use the systemctl command.
Regarding this, how do I know if chrony is working?
To check if chrony is synchronized, use the tracking, sources, and sourcestats commands. Run the chronyc tracking command to check chrony tracking. Alternatively you could run chronyc to display a chronyc> prompt, and then run the tracking command from the chronyc> prompt.
Similarly, what port does chrony use? UDP port 323
Moreover, how do I start chrony service?
chronyd – daemon that can be started at boot time.
Configure Chrony in Linux
- server – this directive used to describe a NTP server to sync from.
