After about 6 months of wrangling bits and pieces together, "Honest" Rob's Used Car (and VoIP) Emporium has finally managed to get a bunch of custom made GPS Shields built and they are sitting right next to me here in Australia, suitable for lego-esque construction of your own NTP server!<div><br></div><div>These are being sold at pretty much cost - AUD$30 ex - as a pro-bono thing for those who want their very own Stratum 1 NTP server. All you need to do is supply your own Raspberry Pi or equivalent - you just need something with a clock speed over 1ghz and standard GPIO pins.</div><div><br></div><div>But wait, there's more! You don't NEED to buy this specific hardware - if you already have a GPS device with a PPS signal, you can just fork and hack on the repo that started this:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://github.com/xrobau/rpi-ntp" target="_blank">https://github.com/xrobau/rpi-ntp</a> (Note: that locks down SSH to key only, and *only* puts my key in there, don't just run it blindly without at least adding your ssh pubkey!)<br></div><div><br></div><div>This all started because we needed more IPv6 NTP servers in the Asia Pacific region, and it was annoyingly hard to find plug-and-play hardware. I'm really hoping that a bunch of you lot will buy a few, and put them up as public servers with IPv6 addresses on <a href="http://ntppool.org" target="_blank">ntppool.org</a>.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://freepbxhosting.com.au/s/gps-v1/" target="_blank">https://freepbxhosting.com.au/s/gps-v1/</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>I also have them up on eBay, for $40 each, but that's for the public, not for the cool kids club that is AusNog.</div><div><br></div><div>Currently I can only ship to AU and NZ, but that's purely because I'm lazy and haven't figured out the costs.
