Remember that we only have one kernel here, so I suspect it's a good idea to only have one NTP process taking to it to keep it in sync and provide NTP services for others (if required) So what I do is run NTP in the host - then all containers get the time synced automatically. Less processes to run, less network, etc. Unless you're importing an older server into a container on new hardware of-course, but even then, it's probably an idea to turn off any other services that are no-longer required, if possible. Reduces the overall process count which can only be a good thing. If I had to run NTP in a container (because it's IP address was burnt into devices I had no control over - for example) then I'd make sure that was the only container on the host server running NTP. I'm really not sure what effect that 2 or more NTP processes talking to the kernel has...
