We need your help to make NethServer 7 the best release yet, so please take some time to download and try out the Alpha and make sure the things that are important to you are working.
You can install it on a virtual machine or on a bare-metal server using a DVD or USB stick.
Please, note that upgrade from Alpha 2 is NOT supported.
If you find a bug, please report it replying below – every bug you uncover is a chance to improve the experience for thousands of NethServer users worldwide, also our amazing beta testers team will be called upon to give its support on that!
Together, we can make NethServer rock-solid. We have a culture of coordinating new features and pushing fixes upstream as much as possible, and your feedback will help improve not only NethServer but Linux and free software as a whole.
Please note also that the acronym “pdc” (old NT Primary Domain Controller) does not apply to the Active Directory world.
Moreover, the Domain Controller is not the NethServer itself, but a container, something like a virtual machine, that is assigned the IP address you specify on the “Start DC” web page.
About “pdc”, it’s just a name for the host. Can be any name that can help to identify a machine in the network …
The important thing is the domain name; will be in my case “hostname.abt.ro” instead of “hostname.abt.local”, whatever will be the “hostname”.
install FTP
join to AD still ok
no AD users on FTP?
install nethserver-mail nethserver-roundcubemail
yum error as openvpn
join to AD still ok
in Software Center/available there is another “roundcube webmail” marked as uninstalled
anyway AD users can login to roundcube OK
install fetchmail… … no fetchmail
no getmail
hey where is fetchmail/getmail?
You wish but we should find a valid alternative for the final, pop3 connector looks very used in 6.7
Received email directly by SMTP isn’t always a possible option, we run the risk of cutting a very popular feature
ahem was a short test in effect i don’t know if it is still joined… but for sure
in Status > Domain accounts i saw lolcalhost instead something like this
LDAP server: 192.168.100.62
LDAP server name: w2k12.qans.net
Realm: QANS.NET
Bind Path: dc=QANS,dc=NET
LDAP port: 389
Server time: Tue, 24 May 2016 12:55:21 CEST
KDC server: 192.168.100.62
Server time offset: -2
Join is OK
and in Management > users and Groups
i didn’t see anymore AD users/groups
more info in next tests…
i’m sorry never used AD join on 6.7, so FTP (and other services?) will not be able to use the AD auth?
no sorry if i was unclear but email+roundcubemail+JoinAd works… my doubt was again in software center:
Today I wanted to continue the tests with NS as AD.
I created two users and I wanted to try to add an Windows 10 PC and an Ubuntu PC on AD but I have a lot of stuff to do. Maybe tomorrow …
Right! Just removed from the comps file, it will be soon in sync on all mirrors.
Users for FTP are separated from system ones. If you really needed it, you can enable access for system users, But this is very very very bad practice, since the password is sent in clear text: http://docs.nethserver.org/en/v7a/ftp.html#system-users
so i know an upgrade from 6.7 to 7 (as in yum upgrade or through software center) isnt possible, but can i still import a backed up config? not the data, just the config, i would hate to have to setup all the port fowards and rules again lol
As a heads up for anyone using ebay servers or any hp smart array lower than 410i, the Centos 7 has depreciated them, so to get it working do the following in tty:
rmmod hpsa; modprobe hpsa hpsa_allow_any=1;
this will atleast allow you to install neth7. To boot just throw hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 into grub, and update grub.
but we should find a valid alternative for the final, pop3 connector looks very used in 6.7
but for sure
