Rebellions are based on hope however the battle is already lost, the dev team is looking forward to ns8, I bet that ns7 wonât see that kind of big changes
Needed for historical / archiving. Novell Netware does not run in Proxmox, but does run in VMWare. (It died before drivers were madeâŠ). Like this, I donât need additional hardware just to run a rarely used VMWareâŠ
Very stable - and I can backup the whole VMWare ESXi using Proxmox!
I use my module Pi-Hole which is container based inside a proxmox VM, just use the dhcp of your nethserver to set the dns server IP of your client to the pihole container
Really, even aside from the fact that theyâre already working hard on NS8, I wouldnât think it at all appropriate to make such major architectural changes within the lifespan of a major release. NS7 should look and operate like NS7, and other modules should be able to expect things to operate like NS7 operates. Switching to something like this just doesnât fit.
But in the next major release, theyâve already announced that pretty much everythingâs going to be a container. The e-smith config system is gone, and configurationâs going to be handled quite differently. This seems like a prime opportunity to upgrade to a full-fledged DNS system, whichever one it might be.
It seems there are a number of threads here requesting pretty much the same, or at least overlapping, things. Here are a few (OK, several) others:
@dev_team, it really seems like thereâs a lot of demand for this, and a time like this when youâre changing the entire architecture of the system anyway seems like a good time to implement it.
Yes, thereâs room for a DNS module in NS8. Apart from the Samba DC which is an authoritative DNS, there could be an alternative authoritative DNS server implementation that could be paired with the OpenLDAP account provider.
By now Iâm still pretty sure a DNS service is not (and will not be) provided by the NS8 core system. I think it is a consequence of dropping the firewall/gateway features from the NS8 core set.
