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?
