Nethserver-hostync is now officially part of the NethForge

[giacomo (Giacomo Sanchietti)]

The nethserver-hostync package is now officially part of the NethForge:

• @federico.ballarini is the new maintainer of the repository https://github.com/NethServer/nethserver-hotsync. If anyone wants access to it, just ask and we will give you the permissions
• there is already a great PR for the Cockpit interface: you can try it and give feedback
• you can install the package directly from the Software Center
• documentation has also been updated

This is a list of known issues:

• sometimes users of Maria database are not correctly restored to the destination machine
• permissions on mail folder (/var/lib/nethserver/vmail) could be messed up, the same issue affects also the before.sieve script
• AD container could fail to start on the target machine because the nsdc service is disabled
• if the backup is configured to include logs (config getprop backup-data IncludeLogs), logs are synced to target machine
• the data backup on the slave should be automatically disabled
• hotsync-slave fails if Owncloud is installed, the admin should commend the ’exclude from yum.conf
• ownership of some path (data, configuration, backups and logs) are wrong for the following users:asterisk, c-icap, ejabberd, rspamd/redis,ufdbguard,vmail
• httpd-admin is disabled on the target
• /etc/freepbx.conf is not synced: after the promotion of the slave, FreePBX web interface is not accessible

If someone needs more details about these issues, feel free to open a new thread and @filippo_carletti or @nrauso will help to gather more info.

We are experimenting a bit to find some possible replacements for the hotsync using some widespread virtualization solution. We are going to share our finding

Thanks to everyone who is joining the new hotsync and special kudos to Federico!
