NTP allows to sync time. That's especially important for accurate logs and TLS certificates.
Recommended NTP servers
There is a CC list of servers by country. France makes sense for most servers to use the country of the datacenter where the server is located.
By OS
NTP is configured in core.
FreeBSD
We use ntpd service. Each day, drift from NTP servers is checked by periodic 480.status-ntpd.
Linux
Chrony service is used.
Troubleshoot
Update leap seconds
Leap seconds file isn't maintained any more by NTP package (see upstream issue)
