As the message box says, the IP must not be assigned to any other device on your green network, so it must be free.

Thank you!

So, I just check the box (Create a bridge interface for the green network) and press “START DC”. Yes?

“it must be free” means empty? I think no …

I think I don’t understand well …

@davidep,
As we are on the subject, why do we need a vanilla samba in the nspawn container?

18

Stupid question: why two IPs for the same server?

SAMBA dc runs in a systemd nspawn container.

Good catch! Because Samba 4 runs inside a container which is basically a virtual machine inside the real NS :slight_smile:

Samba upstream package does not provide the DC role, by now.

@giacomo and @mark_nl already answered, I just want to add: Samba itself suggests keeping the file server / domain controller roles on separate servers.

They say:

Whilst the Domain Controller seems capable of running as a full file server, it is suggested that organisations run a distinct file server to allow upgrades of each without disrupting the other

Moreover, I must admit it simplified a lot the configuration both on the file server side (the “host” machine) and the domain controller side (the “guest” machine/container).

So I’m sure an additional IP address is a small price to pay for having them both on NS7 :wink:

Thank you all for enlighten me! I really didn’t know!

Of course doesn’t matter. I just want to understand some things which are new for me.

Your question was not stupid at all. I want to say thank you @GG_jr for sharing your experience: your feedback is very important for developers and I’m sure it will be very useful to those who endeavor NS7 testing :blush:

I think is the first NS 7a3 AD configured! Isn’t?

Thank you all!

AFAIK the first outside Pesaro :smile:

You were asking about accounts from multiple domains… like john@dom1.com patricia@dom2.net

You know this is not supported on ns6 neither it is planned on ns7. However I hope it can be implemented easily with SSSD, with OpenLDAP backend. I tried it with AD, but realmd seems supporting the join to a single domain only.

I probably would have tripped up on this too, so I’m glad you talked this out here for us to understand it too.
