FreedomBox is a great way to setup many different services, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it serve the time via the NTP protocol.I tried to do it by hand, but I can't install `ntpsec` because it conflicts with the `systemd-timesyncd` package which is required by FreedomBox. What am I missing?
There are 4 Debian packages that provide the virtual package "time-daemon": https://packages.debian.org/stable/virtual/time-daemon
All 4 of them also have Conflicts relation with time-daemon, so they conflict with the other 3 packages that provide it.
At the moment, I don't see any good solution that would allow you to run ntpsec on FreedomBox. There would be a fundamental conflict between these 2 goals:
1) Let someone decide on purpose to install ntpsec.2) Ensure that FreedomBox works correctly, even if ntpsec just "happened" to be installed before (not through a purposeful decision). We have seen that some VPSes add various "default" packages (for firewall, time server, etc.) to their Debian images.
One possible work-around might be to run ntpsec in a container.
