cifmw_ntp

This role allows to install and configure an NTP service (chrony) on an host. It’s a heavily stripped down version of the timesync role. It shouldn’t be used outside the cifmw scope because it only sets the NTP server/pool to use.

Privilege escalation

Privilege escalation is needed to install packages,render the templates in /etc directory and deal with systemd services.

Parameters

cifmw_ntp_chrony_conf_file (string) The path of the chrony configuration file. It defaults to /etc/chrony.conf.
cifmw_ntp_chrony_extra_conf_file (string) The path of the custom configuration file for chrony. It defaults to /etc/chrony-cifmw.conf.
