server time is not synchronized to NTP

[ppelleti]

I noticed that the time on www-origin.haskell.org is running about 11 minutes slow. This is not a big deal, although it does affect the time stamps of things on the wiki, like the modification time of pages.

on www-origin:

Thu Feb 16 19:27:36 UTC 2017

and at (more or less) the same moment on my MacBook, which is synchronized to NTP:

Thu Feb 16 11:38:51 PST 2017

I think the solution is as simple as running sudo apt-get install ntp on www-origin. But especially since www-origin is running other things besides the wiki, I wouldn't want to do this without first getting the okay from @gbaz.

Or I suppose the sudo is unnecessary, since I would log in as root. 😃

I'd actually consult @thoughtpolice on this?

[ppelleti]

@thoughtpolice, is there any reason I shouldn't install ntp on www-origin?

On the new server, just put into production, the server is synchronized using ntpd.
