Which software do you suggest? Do you have tried to install and configure something on NethServer? How it works?

It`s not properly based on software but based on webgui modules such theses from Webmin:
http://doxfer.webmin.com/Webmin/Logical_Volume_Management
http://doxfer.webmin.com/Webmin/Partitions_on_Local_Disks
http://doxfer.webmin.com/Webmin/SMART_Drive_Status
http://doxfer.webmin.com/Webmin/Disk_and_Network_Filesystems

With existing Nethserver modules like file sharing, Nethserver could easily beconme a NAS.

We could get inspiration from OMV, FreeNAS and NAS4Free and webmin.

If we get inspiration from Webmin, all recent versions of Webmin are under a BSD-like licence, meaning that it may be freely distributed and modified for commercial and non-commercial use.

Again, thinking out loud here ā€“ a user here not a developer ā€“ just wishful thinking.

Will it be possible (well as the title suggest --What is the most awesome module/feature for NS, hat does not yet exist?) take file server and collaboration a notch higher? I mean, a document management system and perhaps project management? With standard versioning/check-in-check-out feature? Look perhaps LogicalDocs and/or Alfresco.

And after that, a whole bunch of CRM/ERP :beers: :scream:

Please can you suggest a specific open source software? If Centos packages are already available is better :smile:

For a DMS software, I know a little LetoDMS.
https://letodms.com/
I know because it`s in the catalog of Softaculous.

As ERP softwareā€¦
I don`t know, but take a look at:

As far as I know Alfresco Community Edition (LGPL v.3), LogicalDoc CE (LGPL v.2) and a whole bunch of DMS are Open Source :grinning: , if CentOS package is available, Iā€™m not sure. But I have read both requires Java/TomCat bundles. :cold_sweat: Iā€™ve just set both as an example as those are the ones which might have been popular in their fields.

I just want to add, feature such as Access Control and work-flow would be nice as well as OCR recognition.

Now now now, letā€™s not get carried away, I know we have limited resourcesā€¦again, just thinking out loud that these would be nice to have. Its not in a hurry and no expectation.

Great day everyone and a nice weekend ahead!

Thanks @alefattorini, I had not searched in the forumā€¦just browsed if DMS is included in NS features/modules. Be forwarned though, I have tested Alfresco Share (5.0.d) in a virtual environment (not NS) and it seems a hungry beast, it needs atleast 2GB of RAM else the installation will not push through, but it seems to be one of the better DMS out there.

I find nothing about this featureā€¦

I would like a page where to stop or restart one or more service(s)ā€¦

What do you think about a Plex Media Server module?

I know that Plex is for home use, a media serverā€¦
But, at the same time, more user can simply help Nethserver and the comunity to grow.

Iā€™vealready seen discussion about Alfresco here.
This one seem greatly popularā€¦

But itā€™s not the only one:

mightbe not the most awesome feature to have, but for sure a nice to have
itā€™s the possibilites to control cronjob from the webui

Could you please open new topics for such suggestions?

@sitz has suggested something similar in this post:

iā€™d search for cron :wink: not for task scheduler :stuck_out_tongue:

@alefattorini do you really think my suggestions deserves a new topic?

It would not be repetitive?

Correct @JOduMonT :smile:

done with nethserver-shellinabox

done with nethserver-crontab

I donā€™t understand, you have already a service page

done

That could be a nice enhancement

could be interesting also
