Keeping your Linux server’s time, date, and calendar accurate is critical for logging, scheduling, backups, and system security. In this hands-on guide, you’ll learn exactly how to set the time and date on a Linux server using simple command-line tools and configuration files.
We’ll cover:
Checking the current system time and date.
Using the date command to set time manually.
Configuring NTP (Network Time Protocol) for automatic syncing.
Managing the hardware clock (hwclock).
Changing time zones on your server.
Viewing and using the Linux calendar command.
By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be able to configure and maintain accurate system time on any Linux distribution — whether you’re running Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, or RedHat. Perfect for DevOps engineers, sysadmins, and Linux beginners who want precise control over their server environments.
Key Topics Covered:
Navigating the File System:
timedatectl list-timezones = List all the timezones information
sudo date -s day/month/year + time = Sets time and date of the server
sudo timedatectl set -timezone (timezone of your choice) = Sets the time zone
cal = Displays a calendar of the current month
cal (year of your choice) = Displays a calendar of the current year
Whether you're a seasoned DevOps engineer or just starting your journey, this video will provide you with the essential knowledge to confidently work with Linux commands and streamline your workflow.
