That pre-supposes you're using DHCP, which generally you would not use for datacenter servers.
That's the audience for this question. But...yes...if you're using DHCP, that generally addresses the NTP configuration item. ________________________________ From: Mantas Mikulėnas <graw...@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, April 14, 2025 10:38 AM To: SCOTT FIELDS <scott.fie...@kyndryl.com> Cc: Systemd <systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [systemd-devel] systemd-timedated support for NTP SRV records On Mon, Apr 14, 2025, 18: 35 SCOTT FIELDS <Scott.

Am I missing something in regards to support for DNS SRV records for NTP service? AKA: _ntp._udp.<domain> It's not supported as far as I know, and personally I don't immediately see the purpose: if the domain name comes from DHCP then you can directly publish the NTP server address via DHCP, too (and I *think* networkd + timesyncd supports requesting that DHCP option). If this is not currently supported, where should I submit a feature request for this? The systemd GitHub repository is where feature requests usually go.
