You don't actually have to run NTP, and you can perform the (client-|server-)install using the `--no-ntp` flag. -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users Go to http://freeipa.org for more info on the project
[Freeipa-users] running ipa without local ntp on LXC (debian)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Hi folks, the freeipa packages for client and server on Debian depend upon ntp. Is this hard requirement really necessary? Usually ntp is useless in containers (e.g. LXC), since the hardware access is not permitted and since there is exactly one system time managed by dom0. I understand that having the exact time is essential for Kerberos, but the install-server and install-client scripts are very verbose about not having ntp installed. That should be sufficient. I would suggest to drop the hard requirement for ntp in freeipa's debian/control.
