Install NTP client on Ubuntu 24.04 server.

This isn't a demo — it's a deployment.  
Stable and unattended — time drift solved without maintenance.

## Why this installer exists
Time sync should never be something you remember last-minute. This ensures it isn’t.

## What this installer does  
✔ Uses reliable upstream servers  
✔ Enables system-wide time sync  
✔ Works without reboot  
✔ Zero manual configuration needed  

## What this installer does *NOT* do
It won’t stop you from running the script without reading the documentation like there’s no tomorrow.  
Skip the README, and whatever happens next is your headache, not a bug report.

## 1. Prepare the system

```
sudo apt update -y
```

---

## 2. Download

```
git clone https://git.x-files.dk/server/ntp-client-ubuntu.git
```

```
cd ntp-client-ubuntu
```

---

## 3. Install

```
sudo ./ntp-client-install
```

This configures the machine to use reliable upstream time servers and enables sync automatically.

---

## 4. Verify Synchronization

```
ntpq -p
```

Look for:

✔ reachable upstream NTP servers  
✔ offset/drift values updating  
✔ no "insane" flagging

If the peers list is present and updating — you're synced and good to go.

---

## Post-Install

Nothing else required — time sync is automatic.
