Hi fellow eBox users! Your favourite development team has been working very hard to bring you a first preview of an Ubuntu Gutsy based eBox 0.11.
Porting eBox to a new platform involves changes in all the modules, and while a lot of care has been taken in this process, you will probably find some rough edges. That's why your help is so important to us. Your reports are our most valuable resource in our effort to gradually polish the platform, so be sure to report these issues. == Important disclaimer == This is an alpha version and it's not intended to be used in production systems at all. Please be advised that your system might end up in an unusable state. Remember that eBox overwrites the configuration for some network services, so it’s not recommended to have them previously configured (or their configuration could be lost). eBox is meant to be run in a dedicated machine. == Known issues == The backup system is not working at the moment. You will be able to backup and restore simple configurations. However, you will experience problems when restoring backups from previous versions. Logs are not working. Events are not working. Most of the packages do not comply with the Ubuntu Packaging Policy yet. Note that these packages are not official Ubuntu packages. We have temporarily gone back to apache 1.3.x as we are having some issues with apache2. == List of available modules == - ebox - ebox-services - ebox-objects - ebox-network - ebox-firewall - ebox-dns - ebox-dhcp - ebox-squid - ebox-trafficshaping - ebox-usersandgroups - ebox-samba - ebox-printers - ebox-mailtest - ebox-mailfilter == Pending modules (work in progress, due in a few days) == - ebox-ntp - ebox-software - ebox-soap - ebox-jabber - ebox-webserver == How to install == First of all, you need an Ubuntu Gutsy distro. We usually download the server version. Go through the installation process. Once you are done add these two lines to /etc/apt/sources.lists deb http://ebox-platform.com/ubuntu/gutsy/unstable/ ebox/ deb http://ebox-platform.com/ubuntu/gutsy/unstable/ extra/ Save the file and execute the following commands: sudo apt-get update You can either install the modules you need or all the eBox modules by executing: export DEBCONF_FRONTEND=noninteractive sudo apt-get install ebox-all Every time you install a new module you will have to restart apache: sudo /etc/init.d/ebox apache restart == Acknowledgments == Thanks to the Ubuntu developers who started the eBox packaging process for Ubuntu. It's been very useful to keep working from that point. _______________________________________________ Ebox-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.warp.es/mailman/listinfo/ebox-user
