Sync Docker Container Time with Host

The time in Docker containers is typically synchronized with the host machine, but occasionally issues with time synchronization can arise. Here are some common methods to ensure that the time in Docker containers remains synchronized with the host machine:

1. Specify the synchronization of container time with host machine time using Docker daemon options: You can use the -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro option when running a container to map the container’s time zone to the host machine’s time zone, ensuring that the container’s time stays consistent with the host machine’s time.
2. Utilize NTP service to synchronize the container’s time: Install and run NTP service within the container to automatically synchronize the time, ensuring it stays in sync with the host machine.
3. Manually setting the container’s time:
   To manually set the time in the container, you can use the `date` command to synchronize the container’s time with that of the host machine.

In practical applications, you can choose the appropriate method to synchronize the time of Docker containers with that of the host machine based on the specific situation.
