Creating Getting Started HowTos

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

Continuing the discussion from We need to change our behaviour here at NethServer Community:

@lvicentini

I need a domain controller configuration, and share files for local users, a external mail server with antivirus, proxy and web remote access, a web server with multiple domains (plan to use wordpress), a web proxy, set up a firewall secure, vpn server to remote users, vpn site-to-site, block of pages. This is my project, there is a training or how-tos to teach to set all these functions? If not there, I believe this scenario is to be an excellent case for how-tos.

I love this proposal: create together simple howtos step-to-step for newcomers, focused on simple scenarios

Making a recap we can address these topics

• domain controller configuration
• starting from NethServer for dummies: Domain Controller - #3
• share files for local users
• starting from NethServer for dummies: File Server
• mail server
• starting from NethServer for dummies: Email server - #8 by alefattorini
• proxy
• proxy + content filter
• web server with multiple domains
• vpn server to remote users
• starting from user:willzen [NethServer Wiki]
• vpn site-to-site

I’m keen to hear what these guys think: @AbsyntH, @sitz, @Ctek, @stephdl, @WillZen, @Jim @lvicentini @dnutan

Love the idea…
I always said we must have doc for all kind of audience, from new linux sysadmin to high skilled devlopper…

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

Of course we should link them as reference into our howtos

[Jim]

We need few how to about vps installation and configuration with registrar dns conf for hosting site and hosting mail.

@all howto writers

Can you put your stuff in the wiki?
It will much more easier for the original howto maker to wotk with the wiki layout and verify information…

I don’t want just copy/paste…I’m afraid to make something wrong, or not actualized.

@Jim

Can you put your stuff in the wiki?

I guess it’s up to us move everything, many howto’s authors are pretty busy at the moment.
Last try with a direct mention: @etino @saikrishnavedaraju @enzoturri @lucag @Nas @AbsyntH @ironsky @nrauso @JOduMonT @marc_angio @islipfd19 @Wolfgang_Hofer @jgjimenezs @sitz @nethcman @Lincee @marceloeng

I do like docker example’s approach. Making the howto’s as detailed as possible. Not only show the ‘button course’ (what you need to do to install a server or module), but also explain what it is doing.

@alefattorini I had the impression that you were not a big fan of detailed How-to’s
Just kidding.

I’d love to help but time is not on my side at the moment…

[jgjimenezs (Jose G Jimenez S)]

@alefattorini i’ll make time to join the work of the how-to

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

Although I love detailed howtos - like yours! - I believe that newcomers appreciate more short and effective howtos which go straight to the point

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

Any other proposals for that kind of getting started howtos?
