# NTP Configuration Playbook | |
#=========================================================== | |
# This script will remove the 'ntp' daemon from each server | |
# and properly configure the 'systemd-timesyncd' daemon so | |
# that 'timedatectl' uses a specific NTP server. Remember | |
# to create a 'timesyncd.conf' file that holds your config | |
# in the same directory as this ansible playbook before | |
# running. | |
#----------------------------------------------------------- | |
# There are two categories managed: 'arch' and 'ubuntu'. | |
# When you create your hosts file, keep this in mind. | |
