Server/Proposals/Server Roles

This is a draft proposal.
This proposal is currently being discussed on the Thoughts on Fedora Server lifecycle thread on the server mailing list.

Purpose

We need to define "server roles" and the criteria for that "role," then look at the server applications or application stacks which exist in the project and are applicable for that role and select which one we choose as that role. ([1])

We will pick somewhere between one and three initial roles to focus on for F21. That's achievable and allows us to direct our energies. ([2])

Proposed Server Roles

• Basic LAMP stack server - installs base + httpd + mariadb + php ([3])
• OpenStack server - installs openstack ([4])
• Domain Controller - installs FreeIPA and its deps ([5])
• File Server - installs both NFS and Samba and makes them easy to configure ([6])
