make `chrony` a default/standard suggestion in the Akash provider build docs #243

Closed andy108369 closed 2 weeks ago

We should advertise chrony to be a standard in our Akash Docs

it's literally zero-config, just apt -y install chrony and it automatically works out of the box.. (as well as it automatically masks the systemd-timesyncd service after installed [via post scripts]).

Rationale

We found some servers were out of sync, all attempts to fix systemd-timesyncd were not successful. I also remember from my past job experience that systemd-timesyncd isn't ideal choice.

And we've been using chrony everywhere we could, it makes sure servers are in a perfect time sync.

Might as well want to give this hint (such as "install chrony") within these checks:

@andy108369 @brewsterdrinkwater I think I can take this. One question, though: what page should I add this on?
