i like that the main thing about the one i shared above was the ups addon
I agree–I’m not sure I’d use that for a Neth server, but it might make a nice upgrade for my mini CA. Looks like a well thought-out system, and the RTC would be a nice addition as well. Looks like I need to get a laser cutter…

I think we’re getting a pretty good solution worked out for that, and it sounds like it should run on the Pi.

BTW nextcloud is available for arm, not in the software-center (jet:) still looking for a co-maintainer as i’m not a nextcloud user)
yum install nethserver-nextcloud should do the trick.
I’m curios how far you can push the RPI4, you are suggesting quite a workload…

I am … but i am going to try and see what the rpi4 can do and stress test it, keeping in mind that if need be (or even as an eventual feature) the infrastructure could be run over more than 1 unit but would still be very cost effective.
Think of the power savings in terms of both actual running costs and cooling i see many areas it could be useful
Example lets say you have a school where they limit the amount of students to 10 per class and due to lockdowns with covid they need remote learning infrastructure for 2 classes but as many commercial solutions have a 500 user minimum per month or even having a backup that can be implemented quickly for a school who has the infrastructure but a fire destroys the server rooms.
Another reason i thought it would be good is being low powered it could be run of battery and solar i maybey expecting to much but dont know unless you try

A lot of people run solar / battery powered Raspberries… I know - for example - of a Bee-Keeper, who has one on each colony, reporting basics via LoRa (Longrange Radio for IoT), powered by sun / batteries. He has 4 colonies in the woods. At home he has the LoRa “Gateway” (Connector between LoRa / TCP/IP / Internet.
See here (Power) for some idea what the market provides:
(From normal power, solar cells, battery regulators & batteries)…
My 2 cents

Hi @Shane_Treweek for lasso: this is my development repo > BE WARNED, not all packages are tested!!

Ive gotten to the stage of the server showing
how would i go about installing the nethserver-lemonldap-ng pakage for configuration
You should be able to install it from my repo just like you do on x64. It’s a .noarch RPM.
