@Rob yeah, maybe my expectations are a bit too high. I just like red hat based tooling
like SELinux, Podman, the RHEL clones like Rocky Linux and also FreeIPA, so maybe I just
expected too much when I saw red hat is behind it. I mean, when I saw the vulnerabilities
scan results between the docker images "rocky-8-4.9.6" and
"rocky-8-4.9.8", they went from 55 to 27, so cut in half, which is pretty
impressive. So technically it looks very promising, but as I said, somehow the overall
image of FreeIPA is ..., let's call it blurry, at leas to me. You are jumping between
several different pages, FreeIPA website, some 5 year olds pdfs, Fedora websites (they
call it FreeIPA), RHEL websites (e.g. your link, they call it IDM), when it comes to
extensions then you have to read the source code and/ or Alexanders Github Repo, etc. I
just think it's a real pity for such a product not being able to deliver a better
introduction for new users. I know, I know I'm welcome to contribute to that ;)
I'm
trying but my schedule says: "no no no, there are 13883" other tasks with a
higher priority, so let's go!"
And Rob I know I can strip out the python2 parts, that's what I've done in the
end, I just thought maybe there is an easy way to build all of the packages in case
someone else need the python2 stuff.
@Alexander speaking of extending FreeIPA, yes, automation will of course be a point, but
first I need to have something working at all. But even with a rpm package it's not
easy at all to create an own image. Mentioned my issue here:
