NethServer v7-alpha2

I support these steps, @giacomo @filippo_carletti how much time requires a new ISO? IMHO it’s easier to test, to share and publicize.
I’d like to write down new release notes for this version and send them to the media as well :wink:

Is the timezone problem only cosmetic?
If “the cosmetic” have a problem, what about more complex stuff under the hood?
If trivial stuff have problem, a Nethserver newcomer can imagine more problems under the hood, not trust the system… By consequence, it’s not only a cosmetic problem, it’s a question of confidence.

It’s trusty, or not trusty?

Yes, it is only cosmetic: the time is always displayed in GMT timezone.

I can change the behavior in two different ways:

  • add a “GMT” label inside the GUI
  • return the time accordingly to the current timezone configured in PHP. In this case, if the PHP timezone is different from the system timezone, also the displayed times will be different.

What do you prefer?

Can we continue to use this Issues · NethServer/dev · GitHub ?

Yes, you ought :blush:

Please, look at

I’ll add issue tracker bookmarks there

@Jim I will go this way :wink:

It’s not fair…

Or you put all times in the system in GMT
Or you put all times in the system in localtime.

But a mixed bag not give a good feeling

Jim

I didn’t have the time to do the modification, do you prefer this fix?

So what do you think to not display the time :smile_cat:

Works for me! @edoardo_spadoni do you agree?

Done. :wink:

I just added a new landing page for nethserver-httpd.

Anyone is welcome to improve it! (/cc @robb @alefattorini)

Love it, it will be definitely inserted into the next alpha2 release notes!

Hi, I’m new to Nethserver just stumbled across your project and like it a lot! If this is alpha, happy to use beta and beyond! :grinning:
The goal was to set up a mail server with address book and calendar capabilities, and went for SOGo. Cause limited knowledge of dovecot and linux in general, not confident enough to file an issue or bug but found this:

  • In the SOGo log a lot of entries:
    sogod [11450]: |SOGo| terminating app, vMem size limit (384 MB) has been reached (currently 442 MB)
    Adding this to /var/lib/sogo/GNUstep/Defaults/sogod.plist solved it for me (in html format …):
    SxVMemLimit
    512

  • In sogod.plist SOGoJunkFolderName is not set, SOGo defaults to “Junk”. Obvious solution is to set it to the (by sieve script created) NS’s antispam folder “junkmail”. Why not comply to (rfc 6154 ) standard folder “Junk” where most imap clients move(ed) to?

some other observations:

  • Why not use the more human readable sogo.conf?
  • The Email Base system installs the File Server (Samba) as dependency, why?

we all love a different sogo.conf file… but you’d really ask sogo’s crew :smile:

just guessing, I think it’s so because of you can offer email services to AD users
anyway, you just install samba, you’re not gonna use it

It’s there (/etc/sogo/sogo.conf); by NS used GNUstep Defaults has precedence.

Thanks for your hints @Mark_nl!

Will be fixed, thanks

Seems reasonable, a new major version is the right time to do it!

I agree

IIRC it is for Active Directory integration. BTW it will stop working on ns7 due to an incompatibility with upstream postfix package. We’ll fix it until ns7 beta.

Sounds good @davidep , sorry forgot something minor:

SOGoMailDomain is set to the servers domain name instead of a e-mail domain (…/db/domains). Problem is there can be multiple e-mail domains, as it doesn’t really matter would not spend much effort in this

Shhhh…

I definitely support it! Please @davidep it’s time to come back to the standard sogo.conf :slight_smile:
I bet @Stll0 would agree with me.
