Adjustments for a separate Linbo installation

[hermanntoast]

To reduce the load on the Linuxmuster server and offload individual services, it would be great if Linbo could run on a separate server. Currently, this isn't possible due to tools that are only available on the Samba AD server. After an initial review, I noticed the following issues in the linuxmuster-linbo7 package:

linuxmuster-linbo7/serverfs/usr/share/linuxmuster/linbo/rsync-pre-download.sh

Line 63 in ea5f17b

dn="$(ldbsearch "$url" "(&(sAMAccountName=$compname$))" | grep ^dn | awk '{ print $2 }')"

linuxmuster-linbo7/serverfs/usr/share/linuxmuster/linbo/rsync-pre-download.sh

Line 69 in ea5f17b

ldbmodify "$url" $ldbopts "$ldif"

linuxmuster-linbo7/serverfs/usr/share/linuxmuster/linbo/rsync-post-upload.sh

Line 115 in ea5f17b

unicodepwd="$(ldbsearch "$url" "(&(sAMAccountName=$compname$))" unicodePwd | grep ^unicodePwd:: | awk '{ print $2 }')"

linuxmuster-linbo7/serverfs/usr/share/linuxmuster/linbo/rsync-post-upload.sh

Line 116 in ea5f17b

suppcredentials="$(ldbsearch "$url" "(&(sAMAccountName=$compname$))" supplementalCredentials | sed -n '/^'supplementalCredentials':/,/^$/ { /^'supplementalCredentials':/ { s/^'supplementalCredentials': *// ; h ; $ !d}; /^ / { H; $ !d}; /^ /! { x; s/\n //g; p; q}; $ { x; s/\n //g; p; q} }' | awk '{ print $2 }')"

As discussed, it would be ideal to replace these tools with API calls to the Linuxmuster server.

Edit: One thing I forgot to mention: the dependencies of the Debian package must of course be checked.

Hi Lukas,

Thanks for it. Just so I understand the whole feature: in this case would be linbo-remote only on the remote linbo server available ?
This would impact the use of the Webui and probably many users's scripts.
Should I build with lmntools a way to send linbo commands to a remote linbo server ? Or is there already a solution for this ?

Cheers,

Arnaud

Hi Arnaud,

yes, that's a good point. We'll need to think about that some more. An option in lmntools / lmncli would certainly be useful for controlling the PCs, but for things like the prestart commands, we'd need to come up with something else (since they currently have to be stored directly on the Linbo server).

Best regards,
Lukas
