It thus makes Fedora Server Edition more attractive for use as a file server, especially for new users without extensive experience with Fedora. It thus helps to expand our user base. == Scope == * Proposal owners: The package has already landed in the F36 repo now (and is available in updates-testing for stable Fedora, EPEL 8 and EPEL 9). No further action required * Other developers: * Release engineering: none * Policies and guidelines: N/A * Trademark approval: N/A * Alignment with Objectives: == Upgrade/compatibility impact == N/A == How To Test == * Install Fedora Server Edition on supported hardware (no special requirements but network connectivity) * Prepare a Linux Client Workstation ready to mount NFS share * Prepare a Windows or MacOS client ready to mount a Windows share * On Workstation connect to server Cockpit and follow the Web interface guidance to create a NFS share and a Samba share * Use Linux and Windows desktop accordingly to connect to the server using the respective standard procedures == User Experience == The interface serves as a guide for carrying out the required steps and independently performs necessary follow-up actions based on the user declarations. New users or users with little routine are provided with simple and error-free server administration, while experienced administrators are spared a lot of typing work. The user interface provides guidance to == Dependencies == none == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Blocks release?
