[12:54] <smartboyhw> highvoltage, we have nothing much in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/Beta1/Edubuntu ? -.-
[14:34] <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?
[14:35] <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
[14:36] <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?
[14:37] <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)
[14:38] <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?
[14:39] <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?
[14:40] <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
[14:41] <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
[14:42] <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/...
[14:43] <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
[14:44] <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
[14:45] <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
[14:47] <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
[16:08] <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.
