Description

Some packages require the admin user to do this and that to harden the system or to complete a configuration step that make manual intervention necessary.

For instance:
  • change admin/root's default password
  • change Samba password (when nethserver-samba is installed)
  • set system TimeZone
  • set Organization Contacts
  • configure network devices
  • configure Remote Access
  • enable backup or UPS
  • ...

Implement a Dashboard module that shows a list of advices, notices from installed packages.

This feature will be implemented as a dashboard plugin with plugin behavior itself.

Implementation:
  • new database todos
  • each notification must have a type todo and a status property. Allowed values for status property are enabled and disabled
  • NethServer packages will initialize database using the traditional defaults system. Default status value will be enabled
  • when the administrator marks a notification as resolved, the status will be set to disabled
  • translation file must have two mandatory labels: todoname_label and _todoname description, for example given a notification called mynotify:
    $L['mynotify_label'] = "My important notification" 
$L['mynotify_description'] = "Please do this to resolve the notification"

For now, notifications are not automatically marked as disabled (resolved)

Desired implementation should not display static notifications but elaborate simple (or complex) conditions and raise the notification.

Current implementation is on nethserver-base git repository on branch b2639.

We could even add a check if the system domain is ".local" or without mx record. Not sure if this is the right place.

  • Status changed from TRIAGED to CLOSED
  • % Done changed from 20 to 100
  • Resolution set to WONTFIX

Implementation has been discarded.
