| smartboyhw | highvoltage, we have nothing much in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/Beta1/Edubuntu ? -.- | 12:54 |

| alkisg | stgraber, highvoltage: hi guys, do you wanna talk about edubuntu 14.04 plans, samba 4 etc etc, in order to possibly combine efforts with our team? | 14:34 |
| stgraber | alkisg: sure | 14:35 |
| alkisg | OK, so... fist, what will edubuntu 14.04 use for authentication? ldap? sssd? samba 4? passwd? | 14:35 |
| Phantomas | hello | 14:35 |
| alkisg | *first | 14:35 |
| stgraber | we'll use sssd on the clients using the AD provider to authenticate against a samba4 server | 14:36 |
| stgraber | (or an AD if joining an existing domain) | 14:36 |
| alkisg | So, the edubuntu server installation will have samba4 configured with some ubiquity plugin? | 14:36 |
| stgraber | right, the Edubuntu DVD will let you install a standalone workstation or a domain workstation or a standalone LTSP server or a domain LTSP server or an Edubuntu Server (which will include a dozen optional roles) | 14:37 |
| stgraber | for the server, only the base config will be done in Ubiquity, everything else will be done post-install through the web UI (deploying new services, creating new users, machines, configuring replication, ...) | 14:38 |
| alkisg | LTSP clients will authenticate with regular ssh to the server though, right? | 14:38 |
| stgraber | yep | 14:39 |
| stgraber | and the server will itself be using sssd | 14:39 |
| alkisg | Is it possible to select to install an ltsp server that is also an edubuntu server? | 14:39 |
| alkisg | In that case, it will have both samba4 and sssd? | 14:40 |
| stgraber | it won't be supported in the installer as we'd like to have people keep things separate, but nothing would prevent you from installing edubuntu-server post-install on an Edubuntu server | 14:40 |
| stgraber | the way our stuff works, every service runs in a LXC container so you won't even see samba4 from your LTSP server in that case | 14:41 |
| alkisg | Having 2 separate servers is sometimes difficult, e.g. here there are 3000+ labs that only have 10 computers and can't spare 2 of them as servers... one of them usually is the server + teacher seat... | 14:42 |
| alkisg | Any links for code for all those^ ? Will there be available in some 14.04 alpha release soon? | 14:42 |
| alkisg | s/labs/labs here in Greece/... | 14:42 |
| stgraber | I uploaded edubuntu-server to the archive a few days back but it's still in NEW. The code is available at lp:~edubuntu-dev/edubuntu/edubuntu-server | 14:43 |
| stgraber | though the current code won't work with 13.10, I need a bunch of fixes for sssd and samba4 that I'm slowly working on in my spare time | 14:43 |
| alkisg | Thanks Stephane, we'll have a look and see where we can cooperate there... e.g. for a minimum, have ltsp-pnp work with the new edubuntu roles | 14:44 |
| stgraber | our plan is to have everything be stored in the samba4 directory, so if your tools know how to deal with LDAP, you should be fine | 14:45 |
| alkisg | In the 500+ schools here, we don't use ltsp-build-client but generate our chroot from the server's / with ltsp-pnp, | 14:47 |
| alkisg | ...so we'll have to make sure that ltsp clients don't run samba4, don't run any lxc-based services etc, | 14:47 |
| alkisg | and yup of course take care of the ldap integration | 14:47 |
| skaet | stgraber, highvoltage - is http://www.edubuntu.org/news/13.10-beta1 where the announce should be pointing to? I'm not getting that link showing anything useful, and don't want to send out announce email until its working. | 16:08 |
