If my wife told me I killed her I’d take that to the grave. A very early alcohol induced grave.

I love it, it works. Running a server is super easy and the speed is quite nice for a free piece of software.

They apologized and admitted that it was a dumb thing to do.

It’s ok for someone to be excited.

It may have been me both times. I went down a deep AD hole recently, and was trying to find an easy open source way to do it.

My advice is to put whatever you choose into a vm and snapshot it right before you configure the AD. I think I reconfigured mine 8 times before I was happy.

I thought about it, and the one thing blueiris really gives you is a stellar mobile app.

If you’re not running it in a grocery store switch to frigate. It’s a little daunting at first but so much easier to maintain, especially with ai detection. And if you’re using home assistant it’s even better.

Samba v4 has been able to be a domain server forever and it’s free. You can also use Synology if you want it off the shelf.

Not the original commenter, but I don’t understand how that would increase your attack surface. The AD is inside the network, and if an attacker is already in, you’re compromised. There might be way to refrence a DNS server with a windows server, but then you’re running windows and your life is now much more difficult.

As per DNS, the AD server must be the DNS provider. If you run something like nethserver in a VM you can use it as a dns & ad server.

The domain thing, the AD server is the authorative for its domain. So if you set it as top level, like myhouse.c()m, it will refrence all dns requests to itself, and any subdomains will not appear. The reccomended way to get around this is to use a subdomain, like ad.myhouse.c()m. Or, maybe you have a domain name to burn and you just want to use that?

I am, and I’m using Neth Server. I use it only for an AD, TrueNAS for file storage and a few VMs, portainer for applications. It was for practice, but Neth makes it so easy, why not? And it can help with some LDAP applications (but I haven’t set them up yet)

We’re here for the stories not for the healthcare, apparently.

Audiobook server does work with ebooks.

Matrix/Element has been the best for our group. You could also give rocket chat or Mattermost a spin.
