ntpd: time not updated automatically in some countries

[hansfbaier]

First time I want to log in as user core:

[14:57:33] ~ $ ssh core@192.168.1.30
Container setup in progress:
Step 1/15 : ARG DISTRO
Step 2/15 : FROM ${DISTRO:-debian:sid} as stage1
Image setup failed with error:

Hmm the default ntp server which is running does not seem to get the date. Manually with ntpdate it seemed to work, then it is no problem.

@hansfbaier it seems to work fine on my machines & I've not had people report this particular issue before. Perhaps it was a temporary issue with ntp? Or maybe something like the default ntp server is blocked in your environment?

If you could reset the device (clear persist) and boot again, check if it happens again, if so, please send me a .tar.gz of persist/skiff/journal

I think the NTP servers probably aren't reachable from here (Indonesia). Only when I used the indonesian one ntpdate worked .

@hansfbaier it's set to the default ntp conf:

server 0.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 3.pool.ntp.org iburst

This pool is supposed to return via dns a server near your location.

But if you want you could override /etc/ntp.conf

mkdir -p ./overrides/root_overlay/etc/
echo "server myserver.org iburst" >> ./overrides/root_overlay/etc/ntp.conf
echo "restrict default nomodify nopeer noquery limited kod" >> ./overrides/root_overlay/etc/ntp.conf

then make compile to update the image
