Phone Home Released

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

Do you want to show your NethServer installation on this map?

You should permit to your NethServer to Phone Home!
This tool is used to track all NethServer’s installations around the world. Each time a new NethServer is installed, this tool sends some installation information through comfortable APIs.

The information are stored in database and used to display nice markers in a Google Map view with number of installation grouped by country and release.
http://www.nethserver.org/phone-home/widget_map.html

The informations actually are

• a random unique ID, identifying the machine
• the NethServer version
• the IP address

Follow the docs to configure it properly:

Venezuela is already in Phone Home @alefattorini

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

[Jim]

There are countries, like South Korea that appear in red without number.
What’s mean?
There are one or more Nethserver where Phone is not activated? Or there are one or more Nethserver where Phone-home was activated and desactivatted few time later?s

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

Weird, only @edoardo_spadoni can answer

[Uros_Benkic (Uroš Benkič)]

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

@edoardo_spadoni could you take a look?

[edoardo_spadoni]

Each NethServer machines sends its status to Phone Home every week. The involved script is:
/etc/cron.weekly/phone-home

You can force the update of the map by launching manually the script. Let me know if you have any problem.

[Uros_Benkic (Uroš Benkič)]

@edoardo_spadoni tnx i will try that

[Uros_Benkic (Uroš Benkič)]

@edoardo_spadoni i tryed force update but it didn’t work becasue there was wrong path to UUID in the script.
before UUID was set to UUID=/sbin/e-smith/config getprop phone-home uuid and then in changed it to /var/lib/yum/uuid just like in docs.
