Description Ryan Barry 2015-06-04 17:36:31 UTC

Description of problem:
Cockpit does not provide a way to configure NTP clients.

There should be a way to set the NTP servers a client should sync with. 

This should be a high level API which takes care to perform the necessary platform tasks (service restarts if needed).

Comment 1 Stef Walter 2015-06-12 11:00:12 UTC

We currently have settings that enable/disable NTP ... but not yet to configure which server to use.

A file based configuration API is available:

We would simply files in /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf.d/ to add and remove NTP servers.

See 'man timesyncd.conf'
