based on the submitted documentation, does it mean that all solutions to be deployed into NS8 must be first built or created as modules before someone can now go ahead to deploy? install it onto the server?
there are generally 2 classes of users
- Sysadmins with Developer experience
- Sys admins with no dev experience
similar to ns8, a number of slightly complex solutions can be just installed and configured to work, without necessarily building them into modules, but for the complex ones with multi step processes, the community has been kind enough to provide the Community Modules
It is my view that the success of NS8 will largely depend on first things first.
-
the ability to easily deploy Self hostable solutions onto NS8
-
readily available on stock single deployments (like the solutions already available in ns8 or ns7)
-
community spearheaded deployments, similar to the ones we have on NS7.
Now for most of the community members (me included) would love the availability, capability or capacity to deploy at least the solutions already on the community repo and modules
Edit:
a good example, how do i achieve something like this onto NS8
Howto install MeshCentral on NethServer - Howto - NethServer Community
or
Howto install Zabbix 3.4 - Howto - NethServer Community
is there a general install instruction
must all installations be docker based, or standard linux solutions can be installed similar to the above example
similar to how we got modules onto NS7, there was first installing them, then using the install instruction to get them to become module.
i hope i am understandable
