Template/role base setup wizard after the installer wizard

[Jim]

ClearOS has a similar feature in the configuration wizard:

• gateway only
• stand alone server
• gateway + server.

Theses rules can be change in the webconfig at anytime…
Theses rules are to activate the firewall or not.

After this work by @giacomo I guess this wizard is becoming more real and doable, what do you think @davidep?
@Jim’s idea isn’t bad, have a first menu like this looks good

[davidep (Davide Principi)]

As I said during the past community hangout, this proposal is a valuable enhancement.

Anyway I think we don’t have enough time to develop this idea and ship it in 6.7 final. With enhancement #3258 we allow configuring a red interface at the end of the current wizard. At least one step forward!

@davidep

we don’t have enough time to develop this idea and ship it in 6.7 final.

Fair enough, if we can develop it in the future, this will be @ctek’s reaction:

[Jim]

If I well remember, In the Clearos wizard, the network configuration step is before choosing the rules step ( gateway / server only …).

@alefattorini

what maybe will be done later

Close enough Alessio, I don’t have a black shirt but I’ll try to be as happy as the guy in the Gif
If it will make NS better it will be great

Best regards

I’d like to add other proposals for improving the wizard:

• permit to install language packages:

Permit to select language during the first installation

Have a multi-languages ISO it’s not easy as for I know, but we may permit to select it during the first installation wizard. Is it doable? /cc @giacomo, @davidep

• restore from backup:

Backup Config Module - Beta - Final stage

Hi, Can I take advantage of this topic to make a suggestion: Make a entry in the first setup wizard to restore a backup ! I think it could be an easy way to proceed a recovery after a serious server fault.
