NEW • Development Release: NethServer 7.2 RC2 |
Rate this project
|
Alessio Fattorini has announced a new, and probably final, release candidate for NethServer 7.2. NethServer is a CentOS-based server distribution which is administered primarily through a web interface. The new development snapshot, NethServer 7.2 RC2, supports both long (with domain suffix) and short user names, blocks guest users from writing to the shared folder and includes a number of fixes: "By default, NethServer 7 enables the @domain suffix in user and group names, this new convention confuses the system user, and force to reconfigure his account credentials on any network client. Moreover, some applications require a configuration adjustment and such default is quite different from the previous NethServer version 6.x approach. We have defined an additional option to support both name forms (short, long) and keep all data consistent." Further information and download links can be found in the project's release announcement.

About NethServer
|
NethServer is a CentOS-based Linux distribution for servers. The product's main feature is a modular design which makes it simple to turn the distribution into a mail server and filter, web server, groupware, firewall, web filter, IPS/IDS or VPN server. It also includes a comprehensive web-based user interface that simplifies common administration tasks and enables single-click installation of several pre-configured modules. NethServer is designed primarily for small offices and medium-size enterprises. NethServer continues to develop server-side software, though after the 7.x branch, the project has shifted away from creating its own distribution and focuses on providing software which can be installed on other enterprise-class server distributions. NethServer forms the basis of the NethSecurity firewall distribution.

Distribution Release: NethServer 7.5 |
|
Alessio Fattorini has announced the release of NethServer 7.5. The NethServer distribution is based on CentOS and provides a friendly, web-based administration panel. The project's latest release includes the Fail2Ban security software, the ability to set up wi-fi hotspots and more flexible control over software updates. "We have deployed a new panel to manage the software center. It allows to select how NethServer deals with upstream updates and configures automatic software updates. The Locked policy is selected automatically when CentOS releases a new minor version. It limits updates to repositories specific to the current version When NethServer is ready to upgrade, the new upgrade procedure can be started. The software center section of the Admin's manual was updated accordingly. Read it carefully! Icaro Hotspot - Hotspot's main goal is to provide Internet connectivity via wi-fi to casual users. Users are sent to a captive portal from which they can access the network by authenticating themselves via social login, SMS or e-mail. Icaro is a complete Hotspot written in Go and Vue.js. It uses CoovaChilli as access controller which can be configured and installed inside NethServer." Further information and screen shots of the new features can be found in the project's release announcement and in the release notes.

Development Release: NethServer 7.5 RC1 |
|
Alessio Fattorini has announced the release of a new development snapshot for NethServer, a CentOS-based server distribution. The new development version, NethServer 7.5 RC1, introduces new upgrade settings, new e-mail control and filtering through a Rspamd-based solution, wi-fi hotspots and the inclusion of Fail2Ban in the base system. "Fail2Ban is now part of the core. Fail2Ban scans log files (e.g. /var/log/apache/error_log) and bans IPs that show the malicious signs - too many password failures, seeking for exploits, etc. Generally Fail2Ban is then used to update firewall rules to reject the IP addresses for a specified amount of time, although any arbitrary other action (e.g. sending an e-mail) could also be configured. Out of the box Fail2Ban comes with filters for various services (Apache, Courier, OpenSSH, etc). Fail2Ban is able to reduce the rate of incorrect authentications attempts however it cannot eliminate the risk that weak authentication presents." A complete list of changes can be found in the project's release announcement. Download: nethserver-7.5.1804-rc-x86_64.iso (993MB, MD5, torrent, pkglist). |
