When installing MAAS on Ubuntu, there may be conflicts between the current NTP client, systemd-timesyncd, and the NTP client/server provided by MAAS, chrony. This can lead to time synchronization issues, especially if MAAS is configured with different upstream NTP servers than those used by systemd-timesyncd. To avoid conflicts, users can manually disable and stop systemd-timesyncd with the following command:
sudo systemctl stop systemd-timesyncd
sudo systemctl disable systemd-timesyncd
Step 4: Initialize MAAS
$MAAS_DBUSER = "myuser"
$MAAS_DBPASS = "mypassword"
$MAAS_DBNAME = "mydatabase"
$HOSTNAME = "localhost"
sudo maas init --mode all --database-uri "postgres://$MAAS_DBUSER:$MAAS_DBPASS@$HOSTNAME/$MAAS_DBNAME"
--mode allwill initialize MAAS with all services, including DHCP and DNS.--database-uriwill declare the path to the MAAS database. This path is in the formpostgres://<username>:<password>@<hostname>/<database_name>
Use the command to check the status of MAAS
sudo maas status
