SEC.01

The playbook

The run starts read-only: the recon probes decide what happens next. The steps that follow are adapted to the distribution and state found — a real machine is rarely clean.

1. 01reconis the clock already synchronized?
2. 02reconwhich NTP daemon is already running? never two at once
3. 03reconchrony present + version
4. 04reconexisting chrony config: keep it as is
5. 05recondistro → apt or dnf; container (the host manages time → stop)
6. 06actInstall chronyverify
7. 07actEnable the serviceverify
8. 08actWait for synchronizationverify

SEC.02

What it verifies

Each step ships its own check. The run only moves on when the check passes, so what the recipe reports as done is what is actually on the server.

1. 01verifyInstall chronyVerified bychronyd --version
2. 02verifyEnable the serviceVerified bysystemctl is-active chronyd 2>/dev/null || systemctl is-active chrony
3. 03verifyWait for synchronizationVerified bychronyc tracking | grep -c 'Leap status *: Normal'

SEC.03

Guardrails

Non-negotiable instructions the run must respect, whatever it finds on the server.

How a recipe runs in Servor

Servor is zero-knowledge: the platform cannot execute anything on its own. When you launch this recipe, a run reads the reconnaissance, plans the steps and asks for your approval. Each approved command is signed by your browser — with a key the server never sees — then relayed verbatim to the agent, which verifies the signature locally before executing.

Deploy on Servor button

Maintain Synchronized clock (chrony) or a project that needs it? Put this button in your README or on your site: one click and your users install it on their own server.
