NTP – Syncronize Date Time with internet service with Ubuntu 18.04

NTP (Network Time Protocol) on Ubuntu Linux is a service used to synchronize your server’s time accurately with reliable time sources on the internet. Keeping accurate time is crucial for system security, log consistency, and the proper functioning of network services.

Setting date time (TDateTime for Delphi Lovers) daemon and timezone of my locale on my ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, 22.04 and 24.04 LTS servers:

Install NTP daemon:

   sudo apt install ntp

Configure your locale time zone by checking the list:

   timedatectl list-timezones

In my case:

   sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Rome
