Deprecation Notice

We are planning to migrate from attribute and recipe-based cookbook to custom resource-based cookbook. Most recipes will be deprecated after providing custom resources.

For custom resource's unified_mode feature mandatory for Chef 17, the next major update requires Chef >= 15.3.0.

Usage

If you are fine with using the public NTP servers you can simply include chrony_ii in your node's run_list:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[chrony_ii]"
  ]
}

If you need to control your configuration use a role.
