@PenguinWrangler you should give a try to the NethServer Community on this

@travisdh1 what kind of issue do you have with fail2ban?

@JaredBusch man, we're working hard with our thriving community to achieve that. If you trust us I promise you won't regret it

@JaredBusch said in Did you ever try NethServer ?:

I would leave the PBX off, though I do like the sounds of a full faxing solution because that is not easily possible in FreePBX

NethServer already uses Hylafax for a full faxing solution supporting IAX virtual modems and "real" fax modems

@JaredBusch said in Did you ever try NethServer ?:

not following any of the links, just read the thread, but this sounds like what ClearOS tried to do.

Of course but we're crazy and we want to do it better

I am not a fan of magic all in one boxes in general. But once you need to build up something to replace a Windows DC, that thing generally has all these components.

You're not obligated to put all those stuff in "one magic box" bear in mind that @nethserver is extremely modular so you can just install one of our modules on each server that you sets up

@IRJ That's one of our goals but you should bear in mind that NethServer is also a powerful UTM firewall (proxy http + content filter) and as you mentioned a personal cloud thanks to NextCloud.
I know that our main site isn't so detailed, I'm currently working on that

@IRJ glad to hear this. I could help as far as I can

@scottalanmiller I need to point out It's not just a hope, we already have that as enterprise product with two thousand installations. We need just to work on it, upgrade to the last version and release for the community

Complete PBX for sure!

@DustinB3403 take a look at https://www.nethserver.org:8080/en-US/Account
Supported providers are:

• Local OpenLDAP running on NethServer itself
• Remote LDAP server with RFC2307 schema
• Local Samba 4 Active Directory Domain Controller
• Remote Active Directory (Microsoft or Samba)

Please bear with us if the webui doesn't look so straightforward, we're improving it along the way

@triple9 we're working on Asterisk 13 and Freepbx 14. They are going to be available by the summer

Is NextCloud already in 7 and the site is just out of date? Or is it a "yet to be updated feature" that is yet coming?

Of course! Take a look at this
