Edit /etc/chrony/chrony.conf and locate the line

server 132.163.135.130  offline

Instead of the default IP-address use the address or the hostname of an 
NTP-server close to you (perhaps ntp.<your-isp>, if your ISP has one). 
Then either remove 'offline' or arrange for 'chronyc online' to be 
called when the system is online.
