Synchronizing time on servers

To configure time synchronization on servers:

1. Install chrony:

   sudo apt install chrony

2. Configure the system time to synchronize with the NTP server:
   1. Make sure the virtual machine has Internet access.

      If access is available, go to step b.

      If internet access is not available, edit the /etc/chrony.conf file to replace 2.pool.ntp.org with the name or IP address of your organization's internal NTP server.

   2. Start the system time synchronization service by executing the following command:

      sudo systemctl enable --now chronyd

   3. Wait a few seconds and run the following command:

      sudo timedatectl | grep 'System clock synchronized'

      If the system time is synchronized correctly, the output will contain the line "System clock synchronized: yes".

Synchronization is configured.
