Use custom NTP server(s)

@vickyshelke as for your checks:

  1. yeah, no need for NTP server in the container (in general), all resinOS versions as much as I can check going back have NTP connectivity
  2. that is not correct, you don’t need to change anything on /etc/chrony.conf. What the setting in config.json does is that those servers will be added to chrony's setup at runtime. You won’t see any changes in the default config, but you’ll see the servers listed in chronyc sources.

It seems like the addition to config.json wasn’t correct, SSH into the device checks the config.json on login whether it’s the right UUID, and if not, logs out. If the config.json is incorrect/unreadable, then that won’t work :confused:

Is it a remote device, or a device at hand? If at hand, then check whether the config.json is edited correctly? How did you do that? If remote, we’ll have to sort you out to fix up your file remotely

We are actually making these changes more robust, so that no config.json manual editing is required:

It’s work in progress…
