→SME Server 11.X
== Nice to have ==
This page tries to catch all ideas and serves as a centralised overview of user submitted new or enhanced SME Server features suggestions.
SME 9.1 will be open for new features that have a credible development plan.<br>For now the current events and efforts are geared towards a transition from SME8 to SME9 'as is'}}
Please note down your thoughts in a simple 1 liner. Further in depth discussions can be done on the [http://lists.contribs.org/mailman/listinfo/devinfo devinfo mailinglist] and the [http://lists.contribs.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion discussion mailing list].
This 'wishlist' is what it is, a list of wishes. Nothing more, nothing less. Which ones are 'in' or 'out' should be decided by the community on the mailing lists. All suggestions are about SME Server in general and not targeted specifically towards any one version of SME Server. A feature or suggestion that has been decided on to be included in a version will be logged in our Bug Tracker. Please join in.
<span style="color: red;">Please append your name at end of your post. Thanks.</span>
== SME Server 9.0 ==
SME Server 9.0 is in final productisation, bugfixes and translations only.
== SME Server 9.1 ==
SME Server 9.1 is likely to be based on CentOS 6.6 maybe during summer 2014.
* Webmail
** Webmail is Core
** For SME Server 9.1 Horde 5.x is the default for core. See [[bugzilla:6653|Bug 6653]]
* Partial Samba 4 support
** What can be achieved in the next 3 months?
** See See [[bugzilla:8075|Bug 8075]]
* Minor improvements to Backup - Restore (Ian)
** My improvements to Backup Restore did not make the 9.0 development freeze.
== SME Server 9.X ==
* Add additional secure VPN solution (OpenVPN?). Default PPTP VPN is proven insecure. (waves to NSA)
Open. Need to select from the nice-to-have below
== SME Server 10.X ==
SME Server 10.0 is likely to be based on CentOS 7.0
* Move server manager to Mojolicious
** Background reading [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojolicious Mojolicious].
** See [[bugzilla:7819|Bug 7819]]
** task queuing would be a must [[User:Unnilennium|Unnilennium]] ([[User talk:Unnilennium|talk]])
** integrate user-manager and delegation in its design [[User:Unnilennium|Unnilennium]] ([[User talk:Unnilennium|talk]])
* Full Samba 4 support (David Harper)
** Investigate the implications for the SME ecosystem of moving to Samba 4 (e.g. currently UNIX accounts are used for authentication but for Samba 4 all auth would have to be done through Active Directory - e.g. IMAP, webmail, VPN etc.)
** Would likely require BIND 9 instead of dnsmasq
* Finish LDAP auth, and use as default going forward (mrjhb3)
** having full user and group in LDAP would allow comprehensive management of users over multiple servers [[User:Unnilennium|Unnilennium]] ([[User talk:Unnilennium|talk]])
* Webmail (Ian)
* Webmail
** Decide if webmail is Core or Contrib
** Choose the webmail solution that will be in the core for SME Server 10. Alternatives will be contribs.

*** Zarafa oh yé [[User:Stephdl|Stephdl]] ([[User talk:Stephdl|talk]])
*** Horde 5.x - would make the most sense as a direct upgrade to 8.x and has free sync to Outlook via Funambol (David Harper)
*** Horde 5.x - has free sync to Outlook via Funambol (David Harper) I have this working (mrjhb3)
*** eGroupware It will be my choice --[[User:Larieu|Larieu]] ([[User talk:Larieu|talk]]) 03:35, 6 February 2013 (MST) - I think this is a good starting point to compare [http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reviews/7289/1 compare]

* ibays
**merge ibays with Shared folders [[Bugzilla:9568]][[User:Unnilennium|Unnilennium]] ([[User talk:Unnilennium|talk]])
**The contrib Shared folder offers many new features which enhance a lot the file sharing. We will be winners if we can have this contrib in the sme core
**finish tmp folder integration [[Bugzilla:9568]] [[User:Unnilennium|Unnilennium]] ([[User talk:Unnilennium|talk]])
**better integration of php and httpd setting per ibay [[Bugzilla:]] [[User:Unnilennium|Unnilennium]] ([[User talk:Unnilennium|talk]])
* Cloud awareness (HF)
** Market development and usage of services and software are changing quickly. One of them being 'Cloud' and all xaaS related services
** Being able to deploy SME Server as a Virtual Machine (VPS) in ServerGateway mode with an ISP that only offers 1 Network interface
** Patch available, Proof of concept applied on production servers [[bugzilla:7200|Bug 7200]]
** ease backup to cloud [[Bugzilla:9517]] [[User:Unnilennium|Unnilennium]] ([[User talk:Unnilennium|talk]])
* New VPN Approach [[User:Unnilennium|Unnilennium]] ([[User talk:Unnilennium|talk]])
**this should include OpenVPN and IPSec [[Category:VPN]]
** OpenVPN Bridge (Credit: Daniel)
** [[OpenVPN_Bridge]] is a much wanted feature, and could be considered as a Core feature
** Remote workers, home office, road-worriers is a very common way of working today
***Bravo daniel openvpn-bridge+openvpn-s2s integrated as core system [[User:Stephdl|Stephdl]] ([[User talk:Stephdl|talk]])
***I subscribe also for any core development which support openVPN client with default user/passfrom LDAP [[User:Larieu|Larieu]] ([[User talk:Larieu|talk]])
*SSL Certificates
** integrate Let'sencrypt certificates [[Bugzilla:8676]] [[Bugzilla:9196]] [[User:Unnilennium|Unnilennium]] ([[User talk:Unnilennium|talk]])
** redesign apache configuration to handle SNI [[Bugzilla:1775]] [[Bugzilla:8693]] [[User:Unnilennium|Unnilennium]] ([[User talk:Unnilennium|talk]])
** panel for certificates [[Bugzilla:9196]] [[Bugzilla:8185]] [[User:Unnilennium|Unnilennium]] ([[User talk:Unnilennium|talk]])
*Backups
** encrypted backup (for cloud purpose and others)[[User:Unnilennium|Unnilennium]] ([[User talk:Unnilennium|talk]])
** Integrate AFFA 3 contrib into core SME for doing remote backups via rsync and migrating SME boxes to new hardware / versions. (I have done many migrations for SME6 -> 7, SME 7 -> 8 and SME 8 -> 9. It just works!) [[User:Svsleuwen|Svsleuwen]] ([[User talk:Svsleuwen|talk]])
*MTA to MTA delivery
** implement encrypted sending of emails [[Bugzilla:9349]][[User:Unnilennium|Unnilennium]] ([[User talk:Unnilennium|talk]])
** find a way to adapt to new smarthosts [[Bugzilla:9050]][[User:Unnilennium|Unnilennium]] ([[User talk:Unnilennium|talk]])
== SME Server 11.X ==
SME Server 11.0 is likely to be based on Rocky 8.X
Prerequesite to start
* a koji builder
* moving sources to git
For the server
* finish Mojolicious server-manager integration
* integrate SSL certificate handling in manager
* Finish LDAP auth, and use as default going forward
** having full user and group in LDAP would allow comprehensive management of users over multiple servers
* easing switching between webmail software
* rethink the backup management
* change DNS stack to bind
* change Qmail to Postfix keeping qpsmtpd
* IPv6
* new firewall using Shorewall
* multiple network interface
* moving httpd-e-smith to httpd
* moving httpd user from www to the standard apache
* rethink the apache auth to make it pluggable (eg: allow adding a geoip filter)
== Nice to have ==
* IPV6 (Ian)
* IPV6 (Ian)
* DNS Block - [[Pihole]] available on SME10
* Samba 4 (David Harper)
** Allow more control on what DNS enters in your LAN to protect from malware and adds
** Decide whether Samba 4 is going to be production ready for the SME 9 dev cycle
** See also https://wiki.koozali.org/DNS_Block and https://wiki.koozali.org/DNS_Stack
** Investigate the implications for the SME ecosystem of moving to Samba 4 (e.g. currently UNIX accounts are used for authentication but for Samba 4 all auth would have to be done through Active Directory - e.g. IMAP, webmail, VPN etc.)
** Investigate ways of promulgating network-wide UNIX UID & GID - LDAP or AD based

** David, would you be able to work on a smeserver-nfs as a contrib and I would support change to the core where needed to make this work. (Ian)

* 2 WAN + 2 LAN
* 2 WAN + 2 LAN
** 2 WAN - nowadays you have one terrestrial internet connection and for shure good plans from GSM company (Wireless one - but with ETH connection for the whole house) - why to not have
** 2 WAN - nowadays you have one terrestrial internet connection and for shure good plans from GSM company (Wireless one - but with ETH connection for the whole house) - why to not have 2 WAN
** 2 LAN - one for "normal" LAN and one for guest / wireless access - or VLAN support - multiple LAN
* ARM processor support (Mike)
* A Rolling release version of the SME-Server
* JMAP support (JSON Meta Application Protocol Specification)
** For more information on JMAP see http://jmap.io
* Wireguard VPN *in kernel since 3/20 (Seems to be a very professionally scripted new and opensource VPN solution that is a big improvement over OpenVPN and it is also much easier to setup/integrate)
* journaled quota (larieu)
** standard used kernel supports the journaled quota but it seems that the default option is standard non-journaled quota ( even it is recommended to use journaled )
== Ideas and suggestions ==
* Setup the contribs site with a more prominent download page where after the download the user is prompted for donations or signup to Email newsletters. I just noticed how Eclipse was doing that after you downloaded a Eclipse package. http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/juno/SR1/eclipse-cpp-juno-SR1-win32-x86_64.zip&mirror_id=1051 (MarcoHess)
