[12:54] highvoltage, we have nothing much in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/Beta1/Edubuntu ? -.- [14:34] 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? [14:35] alkisg: sure [14:35] OK, so... fist, what will edubuntu 14.04 use for authentication? ldap? sssd? samba 4? passwd? [14:35] hello [14:35] *first [14:36] we'll use sssd on the clients using the AD provider to authenticate against a samba4 server [14:36] (or an AD if joining an existing domain) [14:36] So, the edubuntu server installation will have samba4 configured with some ubiquity plugin? [14:37] 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) [14:38] 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] LTSP clients will authenticate with regular ssh to the server though, right? [14:39] yep [14:39] and the server will itself be using sssd [14:39] Is it possible to select to install an ltsp server that is also an edubuntu server? [14:40] In that case, it will have both samba4 and sssd? [14:40] 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 [14:41] 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 [14:42] 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] Any links for code for all those^ ? Will there be available in some 14.04 alpha release soon? [14:42] s/labs/labs here in Greece/... [14:43] 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] 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 [14:44] 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 [14:45] 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 [14:47] 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] ...so we'll have to make sure that ltsp clients don't run samba4, don't run any lxc-based services etc, [14:47] and yup of course take care of the ldap integration [16:08] 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.
