Procedure how new features are processed in the NethServer project

I am very glad our Feature category is quite lively and used a lot. I have repeatedly explained in different discussions how the process works to get a new feature implemented for NethServer. The process is quite straightforward and organic. Before I explain the procedure I want to emphasize that if you opt to develop a new feature, it is important that such a new feature is not only developed, but also maintained and updated when needed. This means that when you need to commit yourself to do …

How to create a new Module for nethserver

Hi Daniele, welcome to Nethserver Community! Seems we get some dev support Here are the official developer docs: http://docs.nethserver.org/projects/nethserver-devel/en/v7/ There’s much info in the wiki: https://wiki.nethserver.org/doku.php?id=developer Some tips I got when I started that really helped (including a template to start with): Nethserver on Github: If you have questions, don’t be shy to ask…

If there’s a particular package you want, but don’t have the ability to package it up, suggest it. Do what you can on it. Are there instructions for installing it under CentOS 7 (that don’t require Docker)? If so, that’s a good start, and you’ll probably be able to get the app up and running with only minor modification. Or is it pretty much just a web app, using the standard LAMP stack? It’s likely pretty straightforward to install. Write that up.

Next, how is the app configured? Are there configuration files? Are there standard things that need to be defined, and can be expected (e.g., things like domain names)? Are there others that the user will want to configure? Work on templates for those.

Packaging the nethserver-appname RPM is probably the fiddliest part of the procedure, but one doesn’t need to know the app well in order to do that.

Now, of course, all this depends on there being an existing app that could be packaged for Nethserver and would do what you want done

Creating a Cockpit module for a n00b

Some guys could say it is easy, but others could say it is beyond their knowledge of system administrators. Nethgui was easy, but you could do only what nethgui allowed you, cockpit let your free hands, however you have to write everything. From what I think, vanilla js is not the way to go, vuejs is better, even if a js knowledge is needed, the data binding is easier. Vuejs takes care to update in the dom, the vars you have declared. I started a scarfold of a rpm for cockpit vuejs, it is a s…
