NTP Server on Docker: Keeping Your Devices in Perfect Sync

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a communication protocol that allows the synchronization of clocks across devices using TCP/IP communication. NTP relies on a service or daemon running on a server connected to an atomic clock, a GPS receiver, or another precise timekeeping device. This server, often referred to as a time server, enables other computers, with the necessary permissions, to synchronize their clocks using established protocols or, if allowed, anonymously. NTP deals with challenges like server redundancy, load balancing, gradual accuracy improvement, and server prioritization. In this guide, we will explain how to install an NTP server within a Docker container and use it to synchronize time across various devices. For example, I use it at home to synchronize the time between different IoT devices. However, before we get started, make sure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed, as per the following guide. <a href="https://medium.com/@tomer.klein/ntp-server-on-docker-keeping-your-devices-in-perfect-sync-2d2447b1d039">Visit Now</a>
