Hi! I’m Guillermo from Misiones, Argentina.

After some month testing distributions for servers, I decided to implement NS as main router/firewall for the Educational Institute I work for.

An alternative to believing in yourself

Of course, self-belief is more than just common advice. It’s at the heart of selling, of creating, of shipping, of leadership…

Telling someone, “believe in yourself,” is often worthless, though, because it’s easier said than done.

Perhaps the alternative is: “Do work you can believe in.”

Not trust, verification. Not believing that one day you’ll do worthwhile work. Instead, do worthwhile work, look at it, then believe that you can do it again.

Step by step, small to large, easy to difficult.

Do work you can believe in.

Welcome @guillermofekete, Glad to see another implementation in an educational environment. We have a (small) @education_team. And I do invite you to join us in an effort to add educational modules to NethServer.

Yes! Sorry for my short presentation:

I’m 36 years old. I work as server admin at Educational Institute Montoya (www.isparm.edu.ar) in Posadas, Misiones, Argentina.

I found NS searching for a linux firewall distribution, with wan balance and that easly allows me to monitoring the net. NS is the best one in wan auto balance!

Hi - my name is Tom Böhm - I am from Austria
Usually I am in the Mac business, but since Apple is killing their Server.app, I am looking for alternatives (for me) and my customers.
So I switched to nethserver and am testing with my own domains at the moment.
I really impressed - great feeling so far :heart_eyes:

I would love to hear your experiences with using Apple based clients with NethServer. In the past we had a discussion about this. Maybe it can get a new boost.

I am not using Avahi by now.

At the moment I can tell you about mac aspects of the services that I am using:

X) Calendar - Contacts via SOGo
accessing form iOS devices via zpush
accessing form macOS via CaDAV / CardDAV (CalDAV / CardDAV is a little bit tricky to setup)
on minor problem: If phone numbers that have a custom label (not the default “work”, “private”… label) are not displayed at all

X) Mail
accessing form iOS & macOS vis IMAP - no problems

X) Nextcloud
the iOS integration is not as smooth as is should be

X) OpenVPN
VPN on demand works perfect on iOS :slight_smile:
