Then open the dashboard at:

http://<your-server-ip>:5000/

For more information see https://ticc-dash.org/install.html.

• Runs chronyc clients via sudo to collect live NTP client data.
• Parses and groups hostnames, IPv4 and IPv6.
• Exposes two endpoints: / (dashboard UI) and /data (JSON).
• Frontend uses small AJAX calls every second for live updates.
• Sorting, filtering, and row expansion handled client‑side.

Technical deep‑dive: https://ticc-dash.org/docs.html.

• Debian/Ubuntu Linux

If you used Chrony NTP Web Interface V2, migrate easily:

1. Stop and remove the old service

sudo systemctl stop chronyweb.service
sudo systemctl disable chronyweb.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/chronyweb.service
sudo rm -rf ~/chrony_web

2. Run the TICC‑DASH installer

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anoniemerd/ticc-dash/main/install_ticc_dash.sh | bash

3. Then open the dashboard at:

http://<your-server-ip>:5000/

The application can be configured using environment variables.

For example:

TZ: "Europe/Warsaw"
CHRONY_USE_SUDO: "false"
CHRONY_SOCKET: "/var/run/chrony/chronyd.sock"

With this configuration, the application executes:

chronyc -n -h /var/run/chrony/chronyd.sock clients

The application can be run as a container using the provided Dockerfile:

docker build -t ticc-dash .
docker run --rm -p 5000:5000 ticc-dash

When running alongside a Chrony container, mount the Chrony runtime socket into the dashboard container:

docker run --rm -v /var/run/chrony:/var/run/chrony:ro -p 5000:5000 ticc-dash

The container by default listens on port 5000.
