Chrony

This role is designed to install and set up the chronyd service on an Enterprise Linux system. It works on EL 6, EL 7, and Fedora.

By default, it uses the settings from the chrony_defaults variable found in vars/{{ansible_distribution}}.yml. If you have a similar entry in the chrony variable, it will replace the entry in chrony_defaults. Any variable named chrony_ will take priority over chrony[key] and chrony_defaults[key].

Requirements

There are no requirements.
