[Bug 1852441] Re: In bionic, one of the ceph packages installed causes chrony to auto-install even on lxd

[Ponnuvel Palaniyappan]

Quoting Ante Karamtic:
"If ntp/chrony is removed from ceph-mon, then ntp charm goes into error state if it's installed on ceph-mon units.

On other machines, ntp charm detects that it's in the container and then
reports that it is a container and that there's nothing to do.

In case of ceph-mon, now it goes into error state because chrony is not
there. So ntp charm should update the status before it checks if chrony
is installed."


** Also affects: ntp-charm
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: ntp-charm

Title:
  In bionic, one of the ceph packages installed causes chrony to auto-
  install even on lxd

Status in OpenStack ceph-mon charm:
  Fix Released
Status in NTP Charm:
  New
Status in ceph package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When running ceph-mon in containers, best practice is to have
  chrony/ntp configured and installed on the bare metal and then have
  the container trust the system clock, as the container should not
  manage the system clock.

  It seems that in source=cloud:bionic-stein, ceph-base package ends up
  installing chrony automatically as a recommended package.

  chrony should not be installed in the LXD context of this charm.  If
  it's possible to remove chrony from the recommended package list or to
  have the charm remove chrony if ceph-base is installed in a lxd, that
  wouuld be preferable to having to adding the NTP charm to configure
  chrony in a lxd, or to have to disable the chrony service.
