I’ve got a raspberry pi flake which runs a systemd service which needs correct time before starting. Adding after = [ "time-sync.target" ];
isn’t sufficient to wait until time is actually synchronized, as that just waits until the time sync starts. This blog post mentions that the best solution is to enable systemd-time-wait-sync.service
in order to make time-sync.target
block until the clock is actually synchronized, but systemd-time-wait-sync.service
doesn’t seem to be used in nixpkgs.
This has led me to RFC: Accurate time synchronization dependencies via time-sync.target - #2 by Mic92 with the latest comment that states this functionality is not implemented and the PR appears to be not merged (nixos: make time-sync.target block until initial adjustment with all NTP daemons by thoughtpolice · Pull Request #51338 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub)
What’s the easiest path forward for me to enable "systemd-time-wait-sync.service"
to my configuration?
