NTP feature request for pihole-FTL v6

[DL6ER]

@jpgpi250

sudo pihole-FTL ntp pfsense.internal

only if `--update`` is appended, time synchronization is tried.

@jpgpi250

pihole-FTL, without sudo if possible, should give an indication time is synchronized

It does. The exit code 0 means time is "correct" in the sense of deviation is less than 0.1 seconds:

src/ntp/client.c

@jpgpi250

does pihole-FTL, the NTP part, automatically informs time is now synchronized, thus DNSSEC validation is now required, or is the above code still valid?

pihole-FTL can do this internally now but only in the new branch tweak/ntp_delay, not yet in development-v6:

https://github.com/pi-hole/FTL/pull/2004

On this branch, the code you quoted won't be necessary.

would it be possible to provide a toml option to disable the ntp feature of pihole-FTL entirely?

It is already there. Check out the new ntp section in pihole.toml. You have dedicated options to disable both the NTP servers for IPv4 and IPv6 as well as the client:

@DL6ER

you can easily disable this feature by seeing either the config option ntp.sync.interval = 0 or ntp.sync.server = "".
