Description

In order to ensure proper functioning of all the different servers, it is necessary to make sure that sever time does not drift. This is important for a multitude of reasons - correct log timestamps, TLS verification etc.

Easiest way to achieve this would be to deploy an NTP client. A good candidate role for this implementation is the common role.

The following should be done:

  • Update the common role.
  • Ensure tests are implemented prior to proceeding.
  • Add new parameter for specifying a list of NTP servers to use, defaulting to empty list. Empty list indicates that NTP configuration should not be performed.
  • Deploy both the ntpdate and ntp package for simplicity sake.
  • Configure the NTP daemon to use provided list of NTP servers.
  • Update role reference documentation. Make sure to mention that it is recommended to set the value to Debian's default pool list - 0.debian.pool.ntp.org 1.debian.pool.ntp.org 2.debian.pool.ntp.org 3.debian.pool.ntp.org.
  • Update usage instructions.
  • Update testsite configuration.
