Hello fellow labberators
I would like to manage users, passwords and groups among my (mostly) ubuntu machines and as I understand it, this is what LDAP is for. I have also read that i need kerberos for authenticating nfs shares.
I will ideally be running all these services on a proxmox server but i cant figure out where to start. What order should I do them in and should i run a separate machine/ct for each or all in one?
Thanks
Not the op, but... I wish there was a simple way to centralize users, uids, gids, group membership, and maybe even ssh keys across hosts. Ideally this would be as simple as install package on new host, point at server, wait. I'd settle for managing Windows users and samba separately.
It would also be really cool if there was some easy integration with proxmox LXCs to enable mapping a list(s) of uids/gids into unprivileged containers.
Really long term homedirs, and windows user folders. So my kids and i could just hot desk at any computer in the house. I'd settle for just mounting a drive with their files.
Yes! Im surprised that in 2023 there's no straightforward way of keeping users, files and settings in sync between machines on a OS that is supposedly good at networking
