I’ve got two NethServer community version running at home. The primary is a file server that hosts pictures, movies and recorded tv shows. The secondary is the primary back up server. They replaced two Zentyal boxes where the software was aging and unfortunately (for Zentyal) their software wasn’t going in the direction for what I needed. I haven’t payed too much attention to the servers recently because they just work. I’ve had no issues with file sharing with Samba or NFS. One server has been up for more than 150 days and the backup server has been up for 4. I just discovered that it must have rebooted during a power brown out. I didn’t even notice (inadequate UPS’ at the moment).
I occasionally visit to see how far along NethServer is progressing, I’m hoping to use it to replace my last Zentyal box that’s currently being used as my gateway to the internet. This has a lot of specific tweaks and setting to it; i.e. OpenVPN, PPTP and complex firewall rules. Migrating from Zentyal to NethSrver from this box will be tricky as I have to minimize the down time as much as possible. Unhappy wife is an unhappy life.
I’m an Admin on a few RedHat servers though I don’t really manage them. That’s handled by another dept. I mostly manage what I have at home. It’s an elaborate setup, 3 wireless AP’s; two Win 7 media centers running MCE (horrible crap they are, trying to move it to RPi2 with OpenELEC). A separate Win 7 PC with Cygwin installed and a Chromebook I mostly use. Debating on building a separate Dev server as I’ve been using my Backup NethServer to build devel builds of OpenELEC and it takes forever to build. Not enough horsepower.
Below a screenshot showing my hardware. I use NS at home where I have one PC running windows 10, one MAC, 2 nodes elastix server cluster. I use NethServer as a true all in one (gateways, file server, mailserver, VPN, ownclod & webserver). I know it is a good practice to separate gateways from other, it is for this reason that I am planning to setup a second NS server that will acts as gateway (I need to find some time to do that though…). I also have a 3TB external hardrive connected to NS where I store all my files.
One more Nethserver gateway/firewall here in Brazil.
This one is on a Dell PowerEdge T110 II with a Pentium G850 @2.90Mhz 8 Gb ram.
It will enter in action tomorow.!!
It have 3 NICs.
1 for WAN (red)
1 for green ( with various vlan ) for various levels web filtering
1 for blue, with the Ubiquity Controler and five UAPs
Hi,
i’m new entry in this community.
I have done an easy installation of NethServer by using VirtualBox.
I have created a VM that running 2 GB of RAM and one core.
NethServer ask me to change password and so i m begginning to install modules
Ehi man, welcome aboard and thanks for sharing…
What discussions or docs have helped you most?
Would you mind tell us something about you replying to the topic below?
I’m always curious about your installations. Which kind of hardware are you using?
Where are they? In a basement? In a kitchen? Or into a fancy datacenter.
Hi there,
currently I have one installation for my Rootservers. I plan to implement Nethserver on a client after I played around with Nethservers and know how everything works.
On my rootserver Nethserver is installed on a virtual machine (2GB RAM/2 vCPUs) based on Hyper-V, attached to the red interface.
I use it for/as a:
Gateway/Routing
Firewall/IPS
DNS-Server
HTTP-Proxy
HTTP-ReverseProxy
Monitoring and Inventory
VPN-Tunnel (planned)
OwnCloud (planned)
The same configuration will be at my client without OwnCloud but maybe with Mailservices.
In our company in a production environment (email hosting with SOGo for different domains, during migration from Zentyal), on dedicated hardware placed in DMZ, in the new Server Room (not yet fully functional and finished).
