Hi @Axel and welcome to the NethServer community.
Let me first give a small explanation what NethServer is.
NethServer is a CentOS7 based distribution that aims to make the life of a sysadmin easier. There are several base functions that can be modular installed.
Besides the modules that are supplied by the distribution, there are many community developed modules
You can also find many install howto’s in the wiki and in these forums
We encourage people to try and install new applications on NethServer. We have a straightforward process for new features:
- start a topic in the features section of the forums. Explain why you would want such a feature and maybe there are alternatives for this feature. Others can give their opinion on the feature and also point to alternatives. This is to see if there are more people that want such a feature and maybe help you with installing and documentation.
- Start a new Topic in the howto section. Here the install process of the application is described. When the howto can be 100% reproduced, it will get a place in our wiki.
- Make a module (rpm) for the new application. This is probably the most difficult part of the process. But be assured, we are a supportive community and will be able to give hints and tips and hands-on help. If you absolutely have no clue how to do this, just ask!
Now on your other questions:
For instance on diaspora we followed our process for new features:
in the Feature section there is the post: Diaspora pod on NethServer
Then a Howto topic in the Howto section was opened: Howto install Diaspora pod on NethServer
For Diaspora we never created a module since it is a not much used application. To be able to install Diaspora on NethServer you are stuck with an install howto.
For other applications that are described in the forums or wiki, you will need to make a bit of effort and investigate what kind of software it is (if not described in the feature topic)
- LAM has a install howto: LAM - LDAP Account Manager
- LE certification is available but AFAIK not with wildcard certificates
- SVN is currently not available. If you really would like that implemented I encourage you to start a topic in the feature section. BTW, NethServer uses github as repository for development and versioning.
If you have further questions, please do ask them. We are here to help you.
