      That wording needs to be fixed.

      I guess you're right, so you have filled out this field with the IP address of the machine you're working on.
      Sorry for that, sometimes a different perspective is very useful 🙂

        Recently we came to the same conclusion, we need to improve and automatize that panel. Thanks for pointing it out

          @scottalanmiller What would you write on that page? And which choices should be avoided for you?

            Yeah, I followed the instructions to the tee. My machine had one IP assigned to it, no other machine used it, it was green. Seemed like the obvious choice. But knowing that there is a container involved makes it obvious why that's a problem. Without knowing that there is a container being created, it's not even suggestive that a second IP would be even possible.

              Using a different IP address now for the container, it does run but I get this...

                So what we have now...

                0_1489054164543_Screenshot from 2017-03-09 11-09-01.png

                Domain Controller configuration

                Set a new IP address for the Domain Controller function.

                The chosen IP address must satisfy all of the below conditions:

                • The IP address must be in the same subnet range of the green network. (Show this range.)
                • The IP address must be unused currently.

                IP address - before doing unused detection, start by blocking the IP addresses of known things like the green interface itself and the gateway.


                Then in a sidebar have a note: "To provide full Samba Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) functionality, this feature is implemented in a container and requires its own IP address. The green interface will be added to a bridge to accommodate this function automatically.

                  I just realized, forcing a second IP address for the AD DC means that NethServer is very hard to use in a hosted environment where traditionally only a single IP address would be available. Of course, you don't normally use AD there and, if you do, you make a "behind the scenes LAN", so adding a ZeroTier type product there and making that the green network would work fine.

                    @scottalanmiller exactly. However, if I remember correctly, I did use other IP address. It was clear to me that I need NEW IP address for DC.

                      @travisdh1 I can't get your point, you're able to setup a Samba4 DC on CentOS, managed by webinterface with one click?

                      NethServer does NOT do Samba4 with 1 click. I think we've established that much here at least. When adding a Samba DC in a greenfield (no existing Domain Controllers), it's a quick and simple configuration change. Even taking into account needing to provide DHCP, DNS and NTP from the same box. Of course I'm an old time Linux/UNIX admin, so this stuff should be simple for me to setup.

                            I have set it up to use as a simple DNS server for my lab network, and I gotta say, it was easy to do, and the web interface is nice to use and is more along the lines of simplistic in nature, which is nice to see!

                              Does it only do A records? That's all I saw in the demo.

                                I only use the A and CNAME at the moment, but I think it can do all of them. I'll spin it back up and check.

                                    Here is what I see in the demo. It might be different on a desktop.

                                        Using NETHServer as a DHCP server works well. It is easy to manage and add static reservations to my systems.
