Time drift on docker

Docker Desktop

Version 1.13.0-beta39 (15140)

I’m seeing this sort of thing:

$ docker run -ti busybox date && TZ=UTC date
Fri Feb 3 01:45:41 UTC 2017
Fri 3 Feb 2017 01:52:28 UTC

and to correct the time drift I need to shut down all containers and restart docker.

I’m guessing this is a problem with the xhive vm? Is there any fix or workaround for this that doesn’t involve restarting docker and its containers?

Just providing some feedback in that this issue seems to be completely fixed in 1.13.1-beta42 (15350), there is no time drift at all now even after some days and a couple host machine sleeps.

thanks!

Must sync periodically. Just after a host wake up I see:

$ date -u && docker run busybox date
Thu 16 Feb 2017 07:07:20 UTC
Thu Feb 16 06:33:05 UTC 2017

(and shortly afterwards)

$ date -u && docker run busybox date
Thu 16 Feb 2017 07:09:05 UTC
Thu Feb 16 07:09:19 UTC 2017

Not perfect but only an occasional unpleasant side-effect.
