Missing clock synchronization between osx and alpine docker-server

[venth]

Expected behavior

internal clock of alpine is synchronized

Actual behavior

the clock it's unsynchronized

Information

• Full output of the diagnostics from "Diagnose & Feedback" in the menu
• A reproducible case if this is a bug, Dockerfiles FTW
• Page URL if this is a docs issue or the name of a man page

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. wait with docker running few days
2. screen to alpine
3. date (indicates that clock is unsynchronized

Temporal workaround:
hwclock -s

called manually

@venth it seems to be an issue related to the sleep function in OSX, it seems that the current 'best' workaround is this:

brew install sleepwatcher
brew services start sleepwatcher
echo /usr/local/bin/docker run --rm --privileged alpine hwclock -s > ~/.wakeup
chmod +x ~/.wakeup

@justincormack is there something else that we can do here?

[rogaha]

@venth is that approach a viable option for you?

I'm closing this in favor of #17, @venth let's keep the discussions on the other thread, so people can benefit from it.
