Installing NTP in your Ubuntu Server or workstation helps to make sure everything works smoothly especially with systems that depend on time sychronization. One of these is Ceph or Microceph. Let's look at the quick steps to get NTP installed and configured in Ubuntu.
To install the NTP package, run the following command:
sudo apt install ntp -y
Add the NTP Server Pool that you want to use. To do that, we edit the file /etc/ntp.conf. In that file, place the following as an example if you are in the US:
sudo nano /etc/ntp.conf
Add the following in that file:
# Use US-based NTP servers from the NTP Pool Project server 0.us.pool.ntp.org iburst server 1.us.pool.ntp.org iburst server 2.us.pool.ntp.org iburst server 3.us.pool.ntp.org iburst
Restart NTP service
sudo systemctl restart ntp
View the configuration:
ntpq -p
Hopefully, this will help anyone looking to install and configure NTP in Ubuntu.
