How to Configure an NTP Client in Linux - Network Time Protocol Tutorial - Episode 78
Welcome back to our Linux course series!
In this episode, we show you how to configure an NTP (Network Time Protocol) client architecture on Linux. NTP allows your server or workstation to synchronize its time automatically with a dedicated time server, ensuring accurate system clocks across your network.
Using Chrony, the default NTP implementation on most Linux distributions, you will learn how to:
• Install and verify the Chrony service (DNF install chrony)
• Edit the configuration file to point to your NTP server
• Use the iburst parameter to speed up synchronization
• Start or restart the Chrony service (systemctl restart chronyd)
• Check synchronization status with chronyc sources -v
This tutorial is ideal for Linux system administrators, DevOps engineers, and IT enthusiasts seeking reliable time synchronization across multiple servers.
Steps Covered in This Tutorial:
• Install Chrony on the client system
• Edit /etc/chrony.conf to specify the NTP server IP
• Add iburst for faster initial sync
• Restart the Chrony service (systemctl restart chronyd)
• Verify synchronization using chronyc sources -v
