Did you ever try NethServer ?

scottalanmiller

I've gotten it installed but never had time to really work with it. I'll get it downloading on the latest release right now, though. It definitely looks very interesting and much moreso now that 7 has released.

Thanks for popping in, very exciting to see NethServer here!

Reid Cooper

Looks like a very interesting project. Oh and based on CentOS, that will be very popular around here.

scottalanmiller

Latest release looks to have been January 30th. 740MB for the full download.

@Reid-Cooper Not just based on CentOS, we're proudly compliant with.
You can just install CentOS and put NethServer on top of it

@scottalanmiller happy to hear this I will be more than happy to answer all your questions

That's great. So easy to build on cloud instances in that case, too.

alefattorini

@Reid-Cooper Indeed! It's simply matter of a command:

This looks really cool! Is this a production release?

Yes it is. I had been following the status a few months ago. The 6 series was production but aging. This is the first production release of the 7 series.

@alefattorini You name gives a hint when I looked on your website at the "where we are" map and the enormous percentage of "where we are" being in Italy tells me that maybe you guys are in Italy?

IRJ

I also noticed that you decided to use Owncloud for file sharing vs next cloud. Can owncloud be migrated to NextCloud?

scottalanmiller

alefattorini

yes @scottalanmiller our active installations (which agreed to send data to our repositories)

@IRJ it's going be part of our upgrade procedure from 6 to 7 @jospoortvliet is a great friend happy to see him here too

I'm currently based in Noto, Sicily

We have several active Italians in the community.

Is NextCloud already in 7 and the site is just out of date? Or is it a "yet to be updated feature" that is yet coming?

I'd check my own installation but the download is still underway

alefattorini

Wow! Noto is an amazing town! Very nice!

Great. You probably know already, but NextCloud is doing an AMA here tomorrow.

NethServer seems to try for the all in one solution. Much like Zentyal is doing.

One thing I'm not seeing (may just be blind at the moment) is the option to configure it as a DC etc. Doing a brief search for nethserver and domain controller turns up that it appears NethServer is designed to be the only DC in an organization.

But that it might be something that is being worked on so you can have multiple NethServers in an organization.

Is this true, you should only have a single instance of NS running in an organization as a DC?

That is its primary feature.

scottalanmiller

They mention the DC functionality under the email topic at one point at least.
