Ubuntu – Timedatectl or dpkg-reconfigure tzdata in 16.04

dpkgsystemdtimetimezone

I've been using the following script to set Ubuntu 14.04 servers to UTC timezone:

echo "Etc/UTC" > /etc/timezone
dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata
echo UTC=yes >> /etc/default/rcS

Now, in 16.04 it seems that I can configure everything with timedatectl. Now my script looks like:

timedatectl set-local-rtc 0
timedatectl set-ntp 1
timedatectl set-timezone UTC

  1. Is that is this correct? Is it setting up any server to use UTC timezone both as local time and on RTC?

  2. Is there anything missing from not running dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
