macOS image clock is off

[dnfield]

I'm able to correct it like this:

  set_clock_script:
    - sudo sntp -sS pool.ntp.org
    - date # to print out the date and verify

Before adding this step, I was finding the clock to be off by well over an hour for the timezone it was set to. this messed up some JWT logic I was trying to enable. This might be as intended (if someone else on that machine changes the date manually), but just trying to verify.

Should be fixed now. Could you please try again

It was an unrelated to VM issue.

It seems to be working, but I'm not sure if that's because I added that script to my .cirrus.yml or not.

Do you think that is safe to remove now? Could some other user end up changing the clock on me?

@dnfield it's safe since I simply added sudo sntp -sS time.apple.com to the startup script. 😅Even though the VM has time auto syncing enabled, seems time sometimes drifts after VM gets from the suspended state into running. Anka VMs unlike Docker containers store memory snapshot as well as FS snapshot for quicker startup time.

Thanks for the quick fix!
