NTP Client on Ubuntu 24.04 Server

Automated Bash installer for configuring an NTP client on Ubuntu 24.04 Server.

This is a production-ready time synchronization setup, not a lab exercise.
Run once — system stays accurate on its own.

1. Prepare the system

sudo apt update -y

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

cd ntp-client-ubuntu

sudo ./ntp-client-install

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

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.

Nothing else required — time sync is automatic.
