📄 Description

Thank you for taking the time to work on a PR for Awesome-Sysadmin!

To ensure your PR is dealt with swiftly please check the following:
Resolving issue #423. Based on maintainer feedback, I have broadened the requested category to "Time Servers" to accommodate PTP and Roughtime protocols alongside NTP.

  • Your additions are Free software
  • Software you are submitting is not your own, unless you have a healthy ecosystem with a few contributors (which aren't your sock puppet accounts).
  • Submit one item per pull request. (Note: Adding a new section of 5 items to resolve Issue #423 as discussed)
  • Format your submission as follows...
  • Additions are inserted preserving alphabetical order.
  • Additions are not already listed at awesome-selfhosted
  • The Language tag is the main server-side requirement...
  • You have searched the repository for any relevant issues or PRs...
  • Any category you are creating has the minimum requirement of 3 items.
  • Any software project you are adding to the list is actively maintained.
  • The pull request title is informative...

  • Why is it awesome?
    It fulfills an open community request (Issue #423) and creates a robust, future-proof "Time Servers" category that tracks standard implementations across NTP, PTP, and Roughtime protocols.

  • Have you used it? For how long?
    Yes, tools like Chrony are foundational infrastructure I rely on for network monitoring and system tracking projects.

  • Is this in a personal or professional setup?
    Both.

  • How many devices/users/services/... do you manage with it?
    N/A - This is a baseline requirement for all networked servers.

  • Biggest pros/cons compared to other solutions?
    By including NTPsec, Statime (PTP), and Roughenough (Roughtime), this section now covers the spectrum from legacy precision to modern cryptographic time security.

  • Any other comments about your use case, things you've found excellent, limitations you've encountered... ?
    Thank you to the reviewers for the excellent feedback on broadening the category name!
