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

I'm currently based in Noto, Sicily
We have several active Italians in the community.

happy to see him here tooIs NextCloud already in 7 and the site is just out of date?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

Wow! Noto is an amazing town! Very nice!

Glad to hear this, happy to connect with them.

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.

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

Yeah that is what I saw as well, yet on their demo I'm not seeing the ability to look at the domain settings. Again I may just be blind this morning.
Edit: I do see DNS, DHCP etc. But I'm not seeing Samba or AD integration (as would be expected)
-
it sure looks very interesting. I really like Fax Server/IAXMODEM combination. I used to install Elastix before 3cx took it over. They had virtual fax integrated that worked really well. I know I can install Hylafax and iaxmodem on FreePBX, but this way it is easier and more elegant. Plus all goodness of other services

You would not expect "AD Integration" as that would be what you see when you are a client of AD, rather than AD itself.

Right, so it brings integration as a new optional feature, I would expect, so that it is not the master in that case. But that's not what you are looking for, right?

@alefattorini looks really interesting, thanks. I'll check it out.

I was looking for anything at all related to joining or creating a DC on their demo. I see that OpenLDAP and Samba tools are installed under packages.
I'm just not seeing any of the menu options (as I'd expect) if I were working on a system that is a DC (or joined to a domain).
Again, I may just be blind, but I'm just not seeing it.
