NethServer 8: wishlist for the conference

[m.traeumner (Michael Träumner)]

Did you see that? https://wiki.nethserver.org/doku.php?id=module:dokuwiki

Yes after I wrote this post I found and installed it, works like a charm.
But why is it only at stephdl-repository and not available at software-center?

This a question for @stephdl moving on neth-forge is still an available option.

How difficult would it be to include a feature like accessing or mounting a volume from a fiber or ethernet based SAN (Storage Area Network)?

If I am not mistaken, there is a feature to access SANs using iSCSI targets and initiators, so the real question is - how difficult would it be to develop a module for adding and managing that feature?

I realize that this would not be used by the vast majority of the community, but it would help with market penetration in certain areas where this feature would be a big plus.

[robb (Rob Bosch)]

With SAN (iSCSI) support you would target medium to large size companies. Although it is not the current target, it might well become a target. Don’ t forget that with larger companies, also more support might come around the corner. This can be a great plus, but also a huge risk.

But what kind of volumes can you offer with a SAN? If they are NFS shares, it would be a piece of cake to use it with NethServer. I understand that SAN is a block level device and NFS shares are File level. So in order to use a SAN as NFS share you should create an NFS volume on the SAN.
Same for iSCSI: you have to create LUN’s as targets for an iSCSI volume for a server.

You can already customize your white/black list

It’s impossible. If a custom blacklist is created for a resource (IP address or user), then how to apply a customized white list for the same resource?
Only one mode option is possible:

Mode
    Block all, allow selected content
    Allow all, block selected content

This is so that the admins are not bored!

How to give access to one site site.com if the site is in the blocked group “Automobile” and at the same time a customized blacklist is already included, and simultaneously both the black and white list do not work? Sadness

The interface of the content-filter needs to be properly modified! And it seems to me that you should not be embarrassed to take good ideas from other products.

Hello brothers, We are convinced of achieving better accessibility for Nethserver

My friends from the Accessible World want to play with Nethserver

For me personally, only this community platform is sometimes a bit difficult to access (as described in a previous post) - Nethserver itself is pretty great for me to access…!!

My friends from the Accessible World want to play with Nethserver

But all together, we will make Nethserver more and more accessible…! certainly not perfect for everyone but at least “accessible”!

The living experience of our brother Aaron has turned this desire into an entire master class.

Together we can achieve this and beyond.

A couple of suggestions for…

MODULES:

1. postgres deployer
2. docker manager or, better, a kubernetes installer with backup service

Thanks

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

1. postgres deployer

already exists, install nethserver-phppgadmin

2. docker manager or, better, a kubernetes installer with backup service

thinking of it…I took a look to kubernetes, but I believe/wonder if it is not outside the scope of nethserver. Actually I’m rather playing with portainer

[robb (Rob Bosch)]

Or cockpit as way to manage docker containers.

[jaegermeister (Pasha)]

Also portainer is a nice choice. Although redhat is actively maintaining and contributing to kubernetes in order for it to be the base of its proprietary container infrastructure. What they still lack is a well defined backup infrastructure.

About postgres and all the rest, yes, in community packages… what I wondered is: there are lotsa interesting packages (like backuppc, ocsinventory, etc.), is there some timeline to make these enter officially supported modules available from software center?

For now, they will remain into the @stephdl’s repository.[ Who needs your love]

[m.traeumner (Michael Träumner)]

What do you think about integrating Horde groupware to Nethserver 8?

[Nomedor (Antony)]

More functionality on Web Manager for Samba DC, there should be a way to join an existing domain as additional domain controller from Web Manager

High Availability for services (maybe by using vrrp with floating ip and synchronized configuration)

[filippo_carletti]

High Availability for services (maybe by using vrrp with floating ip and synchronized configuration)

This is already available in the Enterprise version.
I don’t know of any plan to open source it.

[happnatious1 (Bill)]

How about a checkbox to hide additional languages in software center. I don’t need to know there is a module for ancient sandscript every time I click on software center.

[pike (Michael Kicks)]

Or a tab called “Language Packs”. Packages should be excluded by the tab “All software”

[jaegermeister (Pasha)]

Multi tenant email is a must for any modern Web Panel.

[Jclendineng (Joel Clendineng)]

1. Cockpit finished, absolutely love the design.
2. Better IPS/IDS, evebox is a start, but a full elk stack would be a must have built in, more information from suricata/snort and a way to manage logs. Like the pfsense implementation of the suricata package. Basically, custom rules, white/black lists, etc. I do this now manually but pfsense has a solid implementation imo.
3. Better ways to manage a raid array.
