What is the most awesome module/feature for NethServer, that does not yet exist?

[Jim]

To estart or stop services… That already done now

Well done @stephdl

You can tranquilly work on the disk managment feature now

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

I’m rather looking after bareos…I have had a long talk with the team at the fosdem.

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

Good! Have you got an idea?

[jrab66 (Jose Barahona)]

i Would say a sas/iscsi support inbuild for expansion of owncloud,roaming profiles info, for rapid redundancy and availability, a module that permit attach a custom iscsi disk or partition for that data only.

because the VM aproach for Owncloud and roaming profiles is to expensive, i would prefer throw that data to a inexpensive and SAS or isci devices for better backup/data/price performance and the Nethserver in a VM inself.

just my two cents.

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

Good point, please take a look at this discussion and provide there your insights

Diskspace extension and mounting ISCSI locations

I would really like to have a dashboard feature were you could easily mount iSCSI disk and or local disks so you are able to extend your partitions if needed for example if you need more diskspace on your file locations. Would be wonderful if you could move home folders and file locations for users on the fly to remote location like iSCSI mounted disks or when migrating to a standalone file server etc.

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

Up, sure that you miss something.

Easy to suggest something absolutely awesome that does not yet exist in NS: https://nextcloud.com/collaboraonline/
As I understood from the info, this uses docker to run.

3. configuring netlogon operations for samba clients

i think it is simple to make

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

Use NFS with Nethserver

http://community.nethserver.org/t/how-to-setup-nethserver-for-nfs?source_topic_id=255

[robb (Rob Bosch)]

hmzzz… and to set the challenge a tad higher: If you have 2 (or more) servers, setup GlusterFS.
For installing Gluster there is a quickstart howto on readthedocs: http://gluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Quick-Start-Guide/Quickstart/

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

Love it, we should make some test and test the waters!

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

Bump…shoot again. I’m listening

[robb (Rob Bosch)]

I can think of a few…

• Xerte online toolkits http://www.xerte.org.uk/index.php?lang=en
• Xibo signage: http://xibo.org.uk/
• FreeRadius: http://freeradius.org/
• Guacamole: https://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/
• smbwebclient: https://sourceforge.net/projects/smbwebclient/

Wouldn’t mind seeing a module that incorporates wpa_supplicant to allow connections to WiFi access points.

[dz00te]

playing with ns7 on rpi3, i really missed a webui for hostapd to create a Wifi access point

• hostapd: http://w1.fi/hostapd/

[medworthy (Mark Edworthy)]

@dz00te, I was just thinking about ARM based SoCs and hostapd and have come to the conclusion that a lot of Wifi chipsets that are included on these boards may not work as an access point / BSSID.

I have been experimenting with a Banana / Lamobo BPI-R1 board (which has a Realtek 8192CU wifi chipset) and have realised that this chipset won’t work as a access point (I have overcome this problem by plugging a Alfa AWUS036NH Wifi adapter into the Bananas USB port).

But I agree, it would be great to have a module that not only incorporates wpa_supplicant but also hostapd.

[gerald_FS (Gerald)]

Mmmh. I do not miss much, but I still have some ideas:

FreeRadius
Horde
MiniDLNA

NFS is currently being edited by @stephdl and Horde is also tested by @m.traeumner

[greavette (Charles)]

Great to see you mention Guacamole @robb. I’ve tested this last year and think it would be a killer app to add to netherver!
