The VPN server is the macOS-native L2TP VPN.
#Download macos server install
Sudo port install dns-server macos-vpn-server mail-server calendar-contacts-server This replaces-and improves upon-the services deprecated in macOS Server. I used MacPorts to provide a basic, working, configurable DNS, VPN, Mail, and Calendar and Contacts server on macOS.

With your (supportive) voices, 2020 will become a copernican turn in the Mac Server tale. With Zentyal, you now have the chance that your voices are heard more directly than ever. Many of the MacAdmins (rightly) complained that Apple didn’t/doesn’t listen to them with regards to Mac Server needs. A leap-frog.Īnd I can guarantee you that it will share rank 1 together with the Zentyal Linux Server Edition in the future if you, the MacAdmins jump on the macSERVER bandwagon. At Zentyal the macSERVER already jumps from rank 548 to rank 2. Because the much smaller Zentyal can exclusively focus on the all-in-one Server product and the NEEDS of SMB and SOHO customers. Apple’s macOS Server (.app) was ill-fated because it had relevance somewhere around rank 548 within the giant company and its plethora of products and services.Īpple’s macOS Server exit in the longer run actually is benficial for all of us, including Apple. Thus, the Zentyal macSERVER is instrumental for us the MacAdmins. And pretty much any (honest) Windows or Linux Admin will confirm that the same holds true for them when diving into macOS. I am not shy of diving into Linux and the Linux version of Zentyal these days but I will never have the same detailed expertise on Linux as I have on macOS. So why on earth should we have to switch to Windows or Linux based Servers, losing much of our profound platform macOS know-how? We have our expert know-how on macOS, much like Windows SysAdmins have their expert know-how on Windows and Unix Admins on Linux (flavors). Last but not least, I am firmly convinced that the Mac Admins around the globe (including myself) NEED a macOS based turnkey macSERVER. A lot more than you might think in the first place. I can also confirm that any mental support/feedback from Mac Admins for the Zentyal macSERVER is indeed helpful. Our next steps in 2020 focus on working out a first smart prototype. On the other side it has allowed us to refine the plan and to sort out DOs and DON’Ts.Īs a result I can confirm that we’re intensively working on the Zentyal macSERVER project.
The outcome of the crowdfunding campaign – moneywise – sure has delayed things.
