=====Time Date Related Setup=====
====Setup NTP server====

The NTP server setup is quite simple, I used the reference from [[https://blogging.dragon.org.uk/using-chrony-on-ubuntu-18-04/|Using chrony on Ubuntu 18.04]]. I replace the pool servers with my local ones, ''sudo vim /etc/ntp.conf''.

Some NTP tips:

  *To install: ''sudo apt install ntp ntpdate''
  *To edit main configuration file: ''sudo nano /etc/ntp.conf''
  *The [[http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers|NTP Pool Time Servers]] page provides the regional NTP servers/pools
  *The systemctl command (status, stop, start, restart): ''systemctl status ntp.service''

====Setting System Time - Time Zone====

**Also checkout systemdtimed**

Use the ''timedatectl'' command to interogate and modify time and date information as required, mainly used to set local timezone and daylight savings parameters. The following commands are typical:

  *''timedatectl'' and ''timedatectl status'' to list current system time date information.
  *''timedatectl list-timezones'' to list available time zones in timedatectl.
  *''sudo timedatectl set-timezone Australia/Perth'' to change timezone to desired.
