I am concerned about time synch because I have run a db in a docker container, and run tests outside of the container that depends on timing

The time skew make the test flaky

One think i noticed is that running

rdctl she'll date -u -Ins

return a time with no milliseconds. But running this against the docker container `docket exec -it containerId date -u -Ins, the milliseconds are there. Is it possible that the VM which running the docker container has not enabled that kind of time precision at the kernel level? That would be enough to screw up the time by about 1 second

There have been reports that the sync doesn't always work, e.g. Clockdrift in the created guest · Issue #850 · lima-vm/lima

You should add a comment there that you are affected as well, but I'm afraid there is no short-term fix 😞
