Since Alessio asked for my infra but didn’t have a chance to respond though I tagged him once I finally had time to illustrate it, I’m interested in your opinion regarding my infra as illustrated roughly above.
According to what I’ve seen of your comments over the months, if I try to migrate NS 7.9 2c to a fresh NS8 install it’s going to s*"t the bed.
This is, of course problematic, particularly since you can see that 2d is dependent on 2c’s AD and of course, this is production.
So therefore, from your comments over the months, what I surmise I should do is create a fresh install of NS8, manually install Samba, manually configure Samba by copying over all the users, etc., by hand from 2c, (OMG) and then, before “migrating” Nextcloud, I need to disable the shares on 2d from the remote share function of Nextcloud, because those settings in Nextcloud apparently screw up the migration.
Then there’s the issue of the LE cert on 2c because of the Nextcloud OpenOffice app.
There’s also the issue of 2d using 2c’s AD, would 2d as an NS7 even be able to use the NS8 AD… I think not, because the NS8 samba cert will be its own and I will have to rebuild 2d … ffs. What a nightmare.
What are your thoughts please.
