Chrony vs. NTP

Technical Support
1

Would installing Chrony instead of NTP break the Rshake? I prefer Chrony, which I think is more accurate over time.

hi,

yes, the Shake-OS uses NTP under-the-hood, so swapping it out with a different solution won’t “just work”.

but more to the point: chrony does not perform better over time than ntp. assuming a stable environment, (near-constant connection to high-quality time servers), both provide the same accuracy in the long run.

cheers,

Thanks for the reply, so most of what is said at this link is irrelevant for the Shake?

Thanks.

hi,

that is correct, the differences described there are not relevant for the Shake use-case. furthermore, as previously stated, simple swapping of NTP with Chrony is neither possible nor desirable.
