Initial tasks Ubuntu Server
Initial tasks I do after a fresh Ubuntu server install Set to local time zone Setting this makes it easier to read timestamps (e.g. in logs) to check the current time use ’timedatectl': scribbles@testserver:~$ timedatectl Local time: Fri 2023-09-01 06:40:52 UTC Universal time: Fri 2023-09-01 06:40:52 UTC RTC time: Fri 2023-09-01 06:40:52 Time zone: Etc/UTC (UTC, +0000) System clock synchronized: yes NTP service: active RTC in local TZ: no scribbles@testserver:~$ you can use ’timedatectl list-timezones’ to check what yours is, but this is a huge alphbetical list that could take some time to find the one you need (especially towards the end of the alphabet)....
