Is Nethserver the right option for me?

@Reheer

Hello Réne

And welcome to the NethServer community!

As you can see from my TAG (Top left of any poster…) I support about 25-30 clients - almost all running NethServer as a VM on Proxmox. All use NethServer as primary server, with AD, Mail, Files, Print, NextCloud, Zabbix Monitoring and a few more…

I’d say NethServer would fit almost all your requirements - besides having one of the best forums for Open Source stuff to help you…
Our motto is: The only stupid questions are the ones not asked!

Using NethServer and the included Modules, I’d suggest:

NethServer as Basis

Nextcloud for:

  • Synching files with Workstation(s)
  • Calendering
  • Adressbook
  • Note (Evernote?)
  • and very many other!

Mail, at least with IMAPsync as a backup of what you have at your ISP
VPN (OpenVPN for Roadwarrior access).

If you want it really easy, NethServer has partnered with Digital Ocean and they offer a “ready to run” NethServer VPS…

Hope these answer your first questions…

My 2 cents
Andy

PS: Any chance you’re also from Switzerland?
