In the log of several of my Fedora servers I just found a
"complaint“ about a missing time synchronization.
Obviously there are 3 options:
ntpd
- not installed by default
- documented in the installation guide
chronyd
- not installed by default (I guess, not sure)
- not activated by default
- documented in the installation guide
I think chronyd IS installed by default.
systemd-timesyncd
- installed by default
- not activated by default
- not documented in the installation guide
In the documentation crony ist recommended for workstations („frequently suspended…“)
For systems „.. normally kept permanently on“ ntpd is recommended.
Not anymore. We are close to removing ntpd from distribution

What want we recommend for Fedora Server?
Isn't it desirable for Server to enable time synchronization by default?
Shouldn't we use systemd-timesyncd, which is installed anyway (and some sources
consider ntpd to be somewhat outdated)?
timesyncd is very simple, it's not even NTP (SNTP only), doesn't
implement NTS and so on.
