chrony: make chrony-hotplug more reliable

2026-03-15T18:40:39Z

At startup there's a race situation where "chronyc waitsync" (and thus chrony-hotplug) will exit right away because it can't bind to loopback. This change tries quite hard to make chrony-hotplug wait for loopback to come up before running chronyc. Fixes #28434. Signed-off-by: Florian Wagner

chrony: add configuration parameters

2025-05-01T08:00:14Z

The existing config sections were anonymous, implying multiple can coexist. Those are now named so that only one shall exist. Added: - smoothtime (in case of large frequency offsets) - systemclock parameters - logchange (increase awareness of clock drift in syslog) - maxsources (for peers; internal default: 4) - prefer (one server over others) - interleave (xleave - more accurate transmit timestamps - good to have) Refactored handle_allow() to handle 'list interface' instead of option. Then only a single section is required. Signed-off-by: Paul Donald

chrony: add ntp hotplug provider script

2023-12-18T17:01:44Z

When the service is started, wait for the clock to be synchronized for up to 5 minutes and provide the stratum action once for ntp hotplug scripts. Signed-off-by: Miroslav Lichvar

chrony: fix uci NTP access configuration

2021-06-19T11:30:09Z

The chrony interface hotplug script reuses the handle_allow function from the init script to allow NTP access on interfaces specified in uci. The function requires /lib/functions/network.sh. Include the file in the hotplug script to make the function work as expected. Signed-off-by: Miroslav Lichvar

chrony: improve configuration

2020-10-30T19:57:35Z

Extend configuration of NTP sources in UCI: - Add nts option to enable NTS - Add disabled option to allow inactive sources Add nts section to UCI with: - rtccheck option to disable certificate time checks on systems that don't have an RTC to avoid the chicken-and-egg problem (it is less secure, but still should be better than no NTS at all) - systemcerts option to disable system certificates - trustedcerts option to specify path to trusted certificates Save NTS keys and cookies by default to avoid unnecessary NTS-KE sessions when restarted or switching back to an already used NTS source. Also, save the drift to stabilize the clock after chronyd restart. Signed-off-by: Miroslav Lichvar

chrony: improve hotplug script

2020-10-30T19:02:48Z

- Use the chronyc onoffline command to update state of all sources per current routing configuration - Don't ignore the "ifupdate" action - Add NTP servers from DHCP for the interface that went up instead of the wan4+wan6 interfaces - Save the servers to files loaded by the sourcedir directive to not lose them when chronyd is restarted, and remove them when the interface goes down Signed-off-by: Miroslav Lichvar

chrony: rework loading of configuration

2020-10-30T19:02:11Z

Instead of loading /etc/chrony/chrony.conf from the file generated from the chrony UCI configuration, use the confdir directive in the main config to load the generated file. This should make it obvious that chrony is configured in UCI and it can also be easily disabled. Signed-off-by: Miroslav Lichvar

chrony: fix configuration of IPv6 client access

2018-09-17T15:14:30Z

Fix the init script to allow access from IPv6 subnets of the interface specified in allow section in /etc/config/chrony. Fixes issue #7039. Signed-off-by: Miroslav Lichvar

chrony: set rtcsync config option

2017-02-10T17:13:31Z

Else the system will always stay in UNSYNC state. Even if there is no real RTC. See chrony minimal config: http://chrony.tuxfamily.org/faq.html#_what_is_the_minimum_recommended_configuration_for_an_ntp_client Signed-off-by: Stefan Sydow

chrony: improve hotplug and init scripts

2015-11-14T12:36:52Z

- fix the init script to read the right config - rework the init script to allow reusing its code in the hotplug script - find wan interfaces in the hotplug script instead of using hardcoded name and set the online/offline status separately for IPv4/IPv6 - allow NTP access on interfaces that are configured after chronyd start - add NTP servers obtained from DHCP, options are specified in a new dhcp_ntp_server config section - start chronyd before the network service, include a patch to always have IP_FREEBIND defined, which seems to be missing with uclibc Signed-off-by: Miroslav Lichvar
