| 09:34 | <ted852> hi there, im back - i asked yesterday about the mounting of a qnap-nas. The last question we had was if sshfs works. I found out it does not really - meaning:
| |
| 09:34 | sshfs username@192.168.5.10:/ /home/username/testfolder/ -> not working
| |
| 09:34 | sshfs nas-admin@192.168.5.10:/ /home/username/testfolder/ -> working
| |
| 09:34 | In Summary this means, that the NAS allows ssh/sftp only for the admin of the nas - not the users. I found a topic in the qnap forum talking about this restriction. It is what it is - and i will go with nfs as this works with the ldap credentials for now to keep things simple.
| |
| 09:34 | What it does support is nfs-v2+3+4.
| |
| 09:34 | So the FSTAB_HOME="192.168.5.10:/ /mnt/fileserver nfs defaults,nolock 0 0" i already use is working - i only have to add additional nfs rights to the user groups of the qnap-nas (which is done in the nas right managment).
| |
| 09:34 | There is also the possibility to set a home folder for the qnap-users which is located under 192.168.5.10/homes/username .
| |
| 09:34 | So my - maybe dumb - questions to that would be:
| |
| 09:34 | 1. is there a way to add some placeholder in the /etc/ltsp-conf for the username in 192.168.5.10/homes/username so i can mount the individual home folder instead of one level above (192.168.5.10/homes) 2. so each user will land in their specific home. Hope you know what i mean.
| |
| 09:34 | 3. Another thing is: can a 2nd mount be added the same way? Or will this be a problem?
| |
| 09:34 | 4. Also i found that LTSP supports nfs-v3. Is nfs-v4 also supported? I couldnt find anything about that.
| |
| 09:34 | 5. And lastly as with that i got a working (chrootless pxe - do i get it right that when i add a program, change settings etc. i only have to run "ltsp initrd"?
| |
| 09:41 | <alkisg> 1) That is not easy, because you want to mount per client, not per user. E.g. suppose that you two users to login at the same time, from vt1 and vt2
| |
| 09:42 | it can be done with pam_mount and some magic, but you'll need to configure it alone, ltsp won't help you with that
| |
| 09:42 | 2. You can add as many mounts as you want with FSTAB_x in ltsp.conf
| |
| 09:42 | Eeeh you named that "3" instead of 2, ok ...
| |
| 09:43 | 4) initramfs-tools supports nfs3 for booting. Linux supports nfs3 and nfs4 for /home. LTSP uses these tools so it has these restrictions. So yeah, you can use nfs4 for /home
| |
| 09:44 | 5. When you modify /usr on the server (e.g. install a new program), you run `ltsp image /`. When you add users or modify ltsp.conf, you run `ltsp initrd`.

| 11:30 | <pedroordep> Hello guys. I know this is not a real LTSP questions - but as i searched for some hours now and couldnt find an answer myself: what is your experience with setting up global configurations? To be more precise: multiuser settings for Firefox (extensions, settings) and Libreoffice (path to Templates, colour schemes, fonts). Normally all the user
| |
| 11:30 | settings are saved in /home/user/.mozilla and /home/user/.libreoffice - so settings like the mentioned paths etc. done there shouldnt be visible for all. For Firefox i found Firefox ESR - which seems to create /usr/lib/firefox-esr/ on installation where settings can be saved - and therefor will be global. So far i couldnt find anything like that
| |
| 11:30 | for libreoffice. Maybe one of you has experience with that and could give me a hint. Thx a lot. And thx for the great ltsp-software 8)
| |
| 11:32 | <alkisg> The key is to search for how distributions customize Firefox and libreoffice. Then just imitate whatever the customization packages are doing
| |
| 11:32 | For example Firefox can be customized with JavaScript files. You do not need the ESR version
| |
| 11:36 | <pedroordep> Java is not really my strong suit - the esr solution sounded more doable for an advanced-not-expert user ;). But thx for the input. You wouldnt by any chance have some knowledge about libreoffice also?
