In this article, learn how to set time, timezone, and synchronize your Linux system clock with NTP using timedatectl, systemd-timesyncd, and chrony.

The ‘timedatectl‘ command is a utility for RHEL-based and Debian-based distributions, and it is a part of the ‘systemd‘ system and service manager, serving as a replacement for the old traditional date command used in ‘sysvinit‘ daemon-based Linux distributions.

The timedatectl command allows you to query and change the configuration of the system clock and its settings, you can use this command to set or change the current date, time, and timezone, or enable automatic system clock synchronization with a remote NTP server.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a security protocol that functions to secure communication between clients and servers over the Internet. SSL protects sensitive data such as login information, credit card numbers, and other personal information sent over the internet. Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, works by using encryption techniques, namely changing the data sent into a form that cannot be read by unauthorized parties. This is done by encrypting the data on the sender’s side and decrypting it on the recipient’s. Nowadays, websites are expected to use SSL certificates. In this article, we will show you how to install Let’s Encrypt on AlmaLinux 10.
