Overview

Chrony Puppet Module

Manage chrony time daemon on Archlinux and Redhat

Module Description

The Chrony module handles running chrony in Archlinux and Redhat systems with systemd.

Setup

What chrony affects

  • chrony package.
  • chrony configuration file.
  • chrony key file.
  • chrony service.

Requirements

  • Puppet 4.6.1 or later. Puppet 3 was supported up until release 0.2.0.

Beginning with chrony

include '::chrony' is all you need to get it running. If you wish to pass in parameters like which servers to use then you can use:

class { '::chrony':
  servers => ['ntp1.corp.com', 'ntp2.corp.com' ],
}

Usage

All interaction with the chrony module can be done through the main chrony class.

I just want chrony, what's the minimum I need?

include '::chrony'

I just want to tweak the servers, nothing else.

class { '::chrony':
  servers => [ 'ntp1.corp.com', 'ntp2.corp.com', ],
}

I'd like to make sure a secret password is used for chronyc:

class { '::chrony':
  servers         => [ 'ntp1.corp.com', 'ntp2.corp.com', ],
  chrony_password => 'secret_password',
}

I'd like to use NTP authentication:

class { '::chrony':
  keys            => [
    '25 SHA1 HEX:1dc764e0791b11fa67efc7ecbc4b0d73f68a070c',
  ],
  servers         => {
    'ntp1.corp.com' => ['key 25', 'iburst'],
    'ntp2.corp.com' => ['key 25', 'iburst'],
  },
}

I'd like chronyd to auto generate a command key at startup:

class { '::chrony':
   chrony_password    => 'unset',
   config_keys_manage => false,
}

Allow some hosts

class { '::chrony':
  queryhosts  => [ '192.168/16', ],
  port        => 123,
}

Note

The parameter port is also set here, module default is 0 to ensure server mode is not activated accidentally.

How to configure leap second

class { '::chrony':
  leapsecmode  => 'slew',
  smoothtime   => '400 0.001 leaponly',
  maxslewrate  => 1000.0
}
