NethServer 8: wishlist for the conference

Sorry for the blur!

I meant FreeRadius with the identification on Username / Password of LDAP or Samba4 DC.

And a reasonable alternative for SOGO, my personal favorite would be Horde.

But once I’m on the addendum, the GUI just rethinking on logical - clear - functionality.

We have the “best tools” on board for many conceivable scenarios, but without a console you can not fully use them (sometimes only very limited).

Here are some examples:

  • wants to remove machine account in Samba again, or just want to look which are created - console
  • eJabberd - integrate external servers - console
  • set up another email server as MX backup - console
  • AutoMX console
  • FireWall - Unlock Port and Bind to Services - Console

and a few more!

Whereby I have to say, we have a huge piece of software that works great!

I complain on high level, but I have convinced colleagues and friends that these NS need to be happier in their lives, and then they have to set some things by console - that was a culture shock for you.

But after the basic setup - it works and they are happy!

Therefore, less new feature but the existing possibilities optimize.

I agree that it would be convenient to have these options through a (web)GUI. But these are not trivial to implement. Although I think nethserver-phpldapadmin module sohould be able to do the job on deleting a machine account in Samba4 account provider phpldapadmin [NethServer Wiki]

I realize that, but that’s important.
The range of functions now covers a large number of areas, and now would be a good time to improve handling.
The big construction sites are serviced, now the details of the so-called fine grinding come.

I agree- Is some kind of a standard.

And I would repeat to think ablout Implementation of anydoc for collabrative office, or equal and possible a CRM like Odoo as modules. Would make NS even more outstanding then it is already :wink: .
I know more and more people founding companies, who would really aprechiate such a egg laying woll milk pig.

It isn’t anydoc (with which I’m not familiar), but there’s already a module out for OnlyOffice inside Nextcloud–this might do what you’re looking for. Though I’d still like to see a reverse proxy arrangement so it doesn’t need a non-standard port.

There’s also a module for Horde, though it’s in a fairly early state.

My mistake- sorry.
But as a dumb user I´d like to have it installed from the GUI (NS or Cockpit- whatever it will be in the future) directly -just wishing. And afaik you have to set up also an OnlyOffice Server!? The Nextcloud Module only links it to the Users?!

The module sets up the OnlyOffice server for you. But you’re right, it isn’t (yet) a pushbutton installation.

Wishes: whats about a GUI Implementation for editing and making Cron Tasks?

There already is one:

wow- didn´t knew it

But is there a tool to see existing cron job´s e.g. hotsync?

Seems there is no easy way, I found some links:

Webmin can…

I doubt it can on NethServer because of the e-smith templating engine.
Webmin directly edits config files. E-smith will regenerate config files at each service restart and reboot.

L2TP. Part of my little dreams.

Yea, SSH in and crontab -l

…which doesn’t show everything. It shows the user’s crontab, but not the system crontab, or the cron.{daily,weekly,etc} files, or probably a few others.

Nope. :slight_smile:

Root crons: crontab -l
User crons: crontab -u username -l
Daily crons: ls -la /etc/cron.daily/
Hourly crons: ls -la /etc/cron.hourly/
Weekly crons: ls -la /etc/cron.weekly/
Monthly crons: ls -la /etc/cron.monthly/
etc…
Also you can set up filters for specific crons if you know the name.

Backup (data) - more than one Destination?

example:
Mon - NFS share
Tue - USB disk

Maybe also a hookscript - bevor and after the Backup?

My wish QUOTAS!!! don’t forget the QUOTAS!!!, They are necessary on big data systems.

Also a backup sistem with rsync_tmbackup.sh. That’s all folks!!!
