Installs NTP on Linux.
None.
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):
ntp_enabled: true
Whether to start the ntpd service and enable it at system boot. On many virtual machines that run inside a container (like OpenVZ or VirtualBox), it's recommended you don't run the NTP daemon, since the host itself should be set to synchronize time for all its child VMs.
ntp_timezone: Etc/UTC
Set the timezone for your server.
ntp_package: ntp
The package to install which provides NTP functionality. The default is ntp for most platforms, or chrony on RHEL/CentOS 7 and later.
ntp_config_file: /etc/ntp.conf
The path to the NTP configuration file. The default is /etc/ntp.conf for most platforms, or /etc/chrony.conf on RHEL/CentOS 7 and later.
ntp_manage_config: false
Set to true to allow this role to manage the NTP configuration file (/etc/ntp.conf).
ntp_area: ''
Set the NTP Pool Area to use. Defaults to none, which uses the worldwide pool.
ntp_servers:
- "0{{ '.' + ntp_area if ntp_area else '' }}.pool.ntp.org iburst"
- "1{{ '.' + ntp_area if ntp_area else '' }}.pool.ntp.org iburst"
- "2{{ '.' + ntp_area if ntp_area else '' }}.pool.ntp.org iburst"
- "3{{ '.' + ntp_area if ntp_area else '' }}.pool.ntp.org iburst"
Specify the NTP servers you'd like to use. Only takes effect if you allow this role to manage NTP's configuration, by setting ntp_manage_config to True.
ntp_restrict:
- "127.0.0.1"
- "::1"
Restrict NTP access to these hosts; loopback only, by default.
ntp_cron_handler_enabled: false
Whether to restart the cron daemon after the timezone has changed.
ntp_tinker_panic: true
Enable tinker panic, which is useful when running NTP in a VM.
None.
