Package: chrony
Version: 4.0-8+deb11u2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
please consider adding support for 'refclock' in /etc/chrony/sources.d.
Some compute providers (Azure, Hetzner, KVM) support PTP as a
high-precision alternative to NTP but that feature requires to
configure a refclock in chrony.
Example (works for Azure, Hetzner, and KVM):
refclock PHC /dev/ptp0 poll 2 dpoll -2 offset 0
Note that using PTP usually requires loading a corresponding Linux
kernel module, too (e.g., ptp_kvm).
