Subscription

A NethServer installation can be registered to a public or private Dartagnan 1 instance, getting access to monitoring portal and stable update repositories.

Hint

The NethServer Subscription by Nethesis 2 enables access to a public ready-to-use Dartagnan instance, along with immediate professional support services for your NethServer deployments. Detailed info available at https://my.nethserver.com

Activating a subscription will enable the stable YUM repositories, but will disable any other repositories you may have added. You can re-enable any other repository by setting the ExtraRepositories property from the command line. The property accepts a comma-separated list of repository names and it is case sensitive. Example:

config setprop subscription ExtraRepositories nethforge,repositoryB
signal-event software-repos-save

The subscription provider may not accept support requests for the contents of custom repositories.

Registering the system

  1. Access Subscription page from the old or new Server Manager

  2. Click on Subscribe

  3. Login or register to https://my.nethserver.com to obtain a registration code

  4. Copy and paste the code inside the Registration token field

  5. Click on Register now button

At the end, the subscription plan name and validity are reported inside the page. Monitoring and access to stable repositories are automatically enabled.
