Was lange währt wird doch noch gut

Habe saubere Installation gemacht

Weil ich eine Testumgebung aufsetzen musste. Und da lief die Maschine bisher fehlerfrei. Allerdings sollten User die meinen die Server App wäre so einfach wie ein Jump und Run spiel lieber darauf verzichten und erst mal lernen was es bedeutet einen Server zu konfigurieren. Grundlegende Netzwerkkenntnisse sind ebenfalls hilfreich. Fachliteratur und eines der zahlreichen verfügbaren Videotrainings im iBook Store seien ebenfalls empfohlen. Ansonsten rennt die Maschine so wie sie soll. Ergänzung zu 4.1: Ich musste neulich ein paar Mac OS 10.8 Server (und in Zukunft noch mehr upgraden) Es hat problemlos funktioniert. Ich denke das Geheimnis liegt in einer ordentlichen Konfiguration und einem Backup auf das man jederzeit wenn mal was nicht klappen sollte zurück greifen kann. Update zur Version 5.03: Bei einer sauberen Installation klappt die App wunderbar. Bei einer Migration von Mac OS 10.8.5 und Server App 2.2.5 sieht anfänglichst alles gut aus. Aber wenn man dann vom Client aus einen Netzwerklogin machen möchte ist die Vorfreude leider vorbei. Anscheinend klappt da was bei der Migration des Opendirectory nicht? Wäre hilfreich wenn Cupertino da möglichst schnell und Zeitnah nachbessert. Die Kunden werden sonst in Scharren weg rennen und der gute Ansatz des „Apple in Business“ wäre dahin. Die Welt besteht nicht nur aus iPhones und iPads. Update 5.04: Die Migration von älteren Server App Versionen hat wieder fehlerfrei geklappt. Vielen Dank für den schnellen Support. Update 5.0.15 Ich konnte erfolgreich am Halloween Wochenende einen Server von Mountain Lion direkt und ohne Fehler updaten. Ich würde mich sehr freuen wenn das so bleibt. Vielen Dank! Version 5.1: Grundsätzliche Installation auf Mac OS 10.11.4 inkl. Security Update hat geklappt. Update von 5.0.15 auf 5.1 hat nicht funktioniert. Irgendwie hat mich da der Webdienst im Stich gelassen. 19.5.2016: Bei einem Kunden musste ich ein Update von Mac OS 10.9.5 Server auf 10.11.5 Server mit der Version 5.1.5 machen. Das hat sogar schneller funktioniert als je zuvor bei anderen Versionen. Vor allem ohne Fehler. Wäre das nicht toll, wenn das immer so toll funktionieren würde?

Best Server app

its the best server app ever

Keyboard and mouse settings bug

I think there might be a bug. After running the server keyboard and tracpad settings are not saved and restored to default on macbook pro. Overall the server is great!

Super aplikacja

Szybka i bezproblemwa konfiguracja, wszystko działa.

Solid, but there are gotchas

Server OS’s are fundamentally different than consumer OS’s. A server OS must run 24/7, often exposed to the internet, and remain stable and secure even while serving GB’s or TB’s of data. If you go into this thinking it’ll be like the consumer experience, forget about it. To have success with this OS, it’s essential to understand you are dealing with a SERVER and all servers need careful planning and babying. This Server OS is no different than other OS’s I’ve maintained for 20+ years. You need backups, clones, careful planning… Yes, the GUI makes certain things easier, but some things are more difficult than servers running tools like cPanel. It depends on what your goal is. We’ve been running this OS on a server farm for ~6 months, and it has been rock solid. The initial setup was not “a walk in the park.” There were several things we had to workaround. But in the end, everything works as expected, and is more stable than our Linux-based VPS hosting was, at a lower monthly cost. (However, that doesn’t include the labor of setting it up). If you’re hoping for a “plug and play” experience, if you have a simple configuration, you may experience that. However, if your configuration involves anything unusual, then expect to spend time and planning in deploying this. For example, if you want to set up the VPN, make sure you know what you’re doing. I do, and I still had issues at first. VPN setup is not trivial. However, basic web page hosting and email is pretty straightforward. The reasons I gave this four stars instead of five: 1. The built in CURL wasn’t working correctly for certain wordpress sites. I had to reinstall using Homebrew. 2. Some of the tools, e.g. PHP, are quite “old” and need to be updated to more modern versions My config includes a test machine MacMini where I try out all updates before deploying them to the live server, along with not only backups but regular clones of the machine to a second machine. I am happy overall with this Server OS, and hope that Apple will keep maintaining it in spite of the sometimes overly negative reviews (sometimes stemming from lack of planning/backups/test machines).

It’s terrible

Decided that I would chance it and update one of my 2009 Xserves to Yosemite. Little did I know, all of my Mac OS X Server applications are no longer compatible with Mac OS X. So I was forced to purchase and download this app as a replacement for all the Mac OS X Server apps. This is a horrible substitution to the true apps. The look is nice and all, but it removed most of the functionality and services that the true Mac OS X Server had. Not-to-mention that because some of my other Xserves are not compatible with any OS X versiona after Lion and this app only connects with the current OS and version. I can not properly administrate my Xserves unless I want to screen share with every last one of them, I honestly don’t have time for that. It won’t even let me reconfigure my LOM for the unit. I’m glad I used this Xserve as a guinea pig for this OS and app while leaving the others running Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard. In addition, to keeping the install disks for Snow Leopard. So I’ll be upgrading this Xserve back to Snow Leopard.
