The balenaCloud dashboard shows log timestamps using the local time for the browser you are viewing it on, and you can switch it to display the timestamps in UTC by using the toggle available in the log view.

Refer to balena-timezone project for an example on setting the timezone in the container. This will only work if tzdata package is installed in the container image. This can be done either in the Dockerfile (hardcoded) by ENV TZ or a new variable called TZ in the dashboard with the value as the timezone you want to set. To set the timezone on the container, find the name of your timezone from Wikipedia, and set an environment variable called TZ with that value. If you want to use a timezone other than UTC, you have to explicitly set the timezone for the operating system running within your container. $ dateīalena devices use UTC as their standard time zone. If you want to query the current time on the device, you can do so by using the date utility or the datetime related functions of the standard library of your language. It is important that the date and time are set correctly, as an inaccurate date can manifest itself as several different issues on the device, such as SSL/TLS certificates appearing invalid. That service is running in the host OS, independent of the application containers. Prior versions of balenaOS use systemd-timesyncd.ĭevices running balenaOS make use of the chrony (or systemd-timesyncd) service to keep the system time synchronized. If you have more sophisticated timekeeping needs than what we’ve covered here, you might reference the offical NTP documentation, and also take a look at the NTP Pool Project, a global group of volunteers providing much of the world’s NTP infrastructure.Note: Starting from balenaOS 2.13.1 the chrony service is used for time management.
#CHANGE PORT USED BY DAEMON SYNC HOW TO#
In this article we’ve shown how to view the system time, change time zones, work with Ubuntu’s default timesyncd, and install ntpd. Bear in mind that it can take a few minutes for ntpd to establish connections.

Your output will be slightly different, but should list the default Ubuntu pool servers plus a few others. The -p flag asks for information about the NTP servers (or peers) ntpd has connected to.

We can now install the ntp package with apt-get: Look for Network time on: no in the output. Though timesyncd is fine for most purposes, some applications that are very sensitive to even the slightest perturbations in time may be better served by ntpd, as it uses more sophisticated techniques to constantly and gradually keep the system time on track.īefore installing ntpd, we should turn off timesyncd: It may take a minute for the actual sync to happen, but eventually both Network time on: and NTP synchronized: should read yes. Run timedatectl again to confirm the network time status. If timesyncd isn’t enabled, turn it on with timedatectl: Network time on: yes means that timesyncd is enabled, and NTP synchronized: yes indicates that the time has been successfully synced.

This prints out the local time, universal time (which may be the same as local time, if you didn’t switch from the UTC time zone), and some network time status information. Network time on: yes NTP synchronized: yes
