Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml
):
ntp_enabled: true
Whether to start the ntpd service and enable it at system boot. On many virtual machines that run inside a container (like OpenVZ or VirtualBox), it's recommended you don't run the NTP daemon, since the host itself should be set to synchronize time for all it's child VMs.
ntp_timezone: Etc/UTC
Set the timezone for your server.
ntp_manage_config: false
Set to true to allow this role to manage the NTP configuration file (/etc/ntp.conf
).
ntp_area: ''
Set the NTP Pool Area to use. Defaults to none, which uses the worldwide pool.
ntp_servers:
- "0.{{ ntp_area }}.pool.ntp.org iburst"
- "1.{{ ntp_area }}.pool.ntp.org iburst"
- "2.{{ ntp_area }}.pool.ntp.org iburst"
- "3.{{ ntp_area }}.pool.ntp.org iburst"
Specify the NTP servers you'd like to use. Only takes effect if you allow this role to manage NTP's configuration, by setting ntp_manage_config
to true
.

- "127.0.0.1"
- "::1"
Restrict NTP access to these hosts; loopback only, by default.
