No issues. Simply works.
I have this test coming up,
I am just curious at one thing, can NS8 connect to NS7 for Ldap?
of course, the first step of migration is to connect NS8 to the remote LDAP account provider of NS7, then the last step of migration is to migrate the whole account provider of NS7 to NS8
you can go simply test from migrate NS7 SOGo to NS8 in a single node architecture
Hi @stephdl ,
It’s been a while…
How ever now evaluating NS8 with (Samba) AD, mail and SOGo.
Installation of all of the above, including SOGo, went flawlessly
Installation went flawlessly, unfortunately due to my own mistake can’t get a valid Let’s Encrypt certificate right now so testing AES wont work right now. (One of the pit falls however was my ns8 configuration was requesting a certificate for it’s own hostname and I did not realize it did… So now stuck with error 429: 5 failed requests in an hour)
Great work and I will continue testing tomorrow!
On first glance a cosmetic remark : it shows “Roundcube” in some massages:
This is what I could find in the code:
$ git grep -n Roundcube
ui/public/i18n/en/translation.json:34: "instance_configuration": "Configure Roundcube",
ui/public/i18n/en/translation.json:37: "mail_server_is_not_valid": "This mail server cannot be used by Roundcube webmail",
SoGo is a container archlinux based I do not know if you still play with that distro ?
Well Arch Linux is my favorite to thinker with, best Linux wiki ever!
So no problem for me, just as head up did you know SOGo is also in debian repo’s (although likely won’t get updates during de debian life cycle…)
@Andy_Wismer good to see you too!
Yes very old version on debian…updated each 6 months in ubuntu. I went to archlinux because the community works to provide the version
Hovewer i could have compiled it myself on debian I succeed but i preferred to not go that way
We will see
I run a Arch Linux arm instance in my own build media-render for years with out a problem. It is a roiling distro so you just need to keep it up to date: cron does that for me.
I a container this is not an issue, so would not worry to much. Arch Linux is mature, the only unstable part is it is bleeding edge.
Again very well controllable in a container image
the fix for the roundcube
translation has been done, thank
tested Exchange ActiveSync on windows 11 with default mail-app and on a samsung android tablet using the default app:
- mail : all good no glitches
- calendar and contacts : deletion of items not always synced among clients (AFAIK a known issue, not NS8 specific)
Tested IMAP with CAL-, CARD-DAV on windows 11 with eM-Client
- mail : all good no glitches
- calendar and contacts : all good no glitches
would be nice to test the SOGo migration from a NS7 to NS8, as ever I am right here to help, please ping me
New testing incoming,
Production migration NS7 to NS8,
Will add Sogo to the migration.
source server, External AD, Mail and Nextcloud, ejabbered
source server, specs
16 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD. 2 cores (100Mbps)
Destination Server
24 GB RAM, 300GB NVME, 4 Cores (600Mbps)
looks like the migration test case with remote AD might be more complicated than initially anticipated.
What about a more simple case with a proxmox or even with virtualbox on a laptop
What I tested is a scenario with a cluster of NS8 but we could validate and release nethserver-ns8-migration with a simple scenario
Migrate one NS7 to a NS8 with an account provider running locally
Maybe check: Is this really a “Test” migration, or are you helping migrating a productive system?
Remote AD usually refers to another host in the LAN with AD
External AD usually refers to another host somewhere in the “cloud” with AD
So what is it now?
I think it’s an “external” AD, without any VPN connection there…
I’m NOT helping migrating a very badly designed network!
Mes deux centimes

oh @Andy_Wismer
I wanted to do a production migration, which i have been putting off for a while now, and this test cases as requested by @stephdl seemed like a wonderful test case to add to the migration, so yes its a production migration, because it has real use data.
Youve staed your case here: Nethserve r7 to Ns8 Migration, With external AD - Support - NethServer Community
lets leave it at that.
Here, you are misusing @stephdl , talking about “testing” when it’s in fact a productive server…
Not really fair!
is mail server not supposed to be fully functioning and working for this migration test case?
I can attempt the simplified test case as well, let me deploy a test NS7 server tonight and test the migration, i already have a NS8 test server the one i use to test module development
