Federa 35 Server default editor
by Peter Boy 14 Mar '23

14 Mar '23

In Fedora 34 the default editor was nano, for Workstation and also for Server. In my latest default F35 Server installation I noticed vim-default-editor was installed. Did some good soul take pity and bring vim back to us or did something go wrong with my installation? Best Peter

Cockpit application for NFS/Samba shares?
by Matthew Miller 15 Dec '21

15 Dec '21

This is a post where I suggest work without any commitment to helping. I'm sorry. :) I'm trying to help someone here: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/stuck-setting-up-a-local-file-server/18772 ... where they're trying to set up an NFS/Samba share using Cockpit. That seems like it _should_ be easy. Now, this particular person is new and there's some basic concepts to work on first, but... also, it turns out Cockpit doesn't actually have an included tool for doing that. This kind of surprises me, but is also the kind of thing I just don't know because I'm not a working sysadmin anymore. (I kind of miss it sometimes....) I talked to Stephen Gallagher and this is something he was looking at but doesn't have time for. There is a third-party add-on https://github.com/45Drives/cockpit-file-sharing which looks pretty great, but is specifically made for 45Drives, and may be difficult to generalize and package for Fedora Server. But that seems _really_ worth doing. Anyone interested in taking that on? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

Current configuration of /etc/resolve.conf
by Peter Boy 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

Hi, if I remember correctly, with the switch to systemd-resolved in F33, the file /etc/resolve.conf is no longer managed by NetworkManager. It is replaced by a link to /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf. On my F34 production systems this is indeed the way it is. While updating our documentation to F35 I performed several Fedora Server test installations with everything as default and noticed, that /etc/resolve.conf is again a file and managed by NetworkManager. Systemd-resolved is up and running and responds to DNS queries. The resolvectl command says "resolv.conf mode: foreign“ (I take it as NetworkManager) instead of „stub“ as my F34 systems. Did I miss something? And is there a reason? Any information appreciated. Peter

Update of our current user documentation to F35
by Peter Boy 12 Dec '21

12 Dec '21

Hi everybody, Fedora Server 35 has been out for a while. We have to update our documentation to that version. I have update some pages in staging, specifically: (1) Virtualization (https://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/server-virtualizatio…) (2) Add Virtualisation support (https://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/virtualization-insta…) (3) =New=: Installing a Fedora Server virtual machine using Cockpit (https://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/virtualization-vm-in…) Please, we need a review for each of the articles. This concerns the factual information and especially the wording! It’s best to leave a note answering to this mail an announce the takeover of a review. See Ticket #69 (https://pagure.io/fedora-server/issue/69) to get an overview of the pending updates. You may look at https://pagure.io/fedora-server/boards/Works%20in%20progress to get an overview of our ongoing work. And just a little gentle REMINDER: It would be quite beneficial to have the F35 updates including reviews completed before Fedora 36 is released. :-) Best Peter
