As for now, it is planned that the conference will again take place on site at the Hotel FreizeitIn in Göttingen, Germany. Updates on the sambaXP 2022 as well as the call for papers will be published on the conference website https://sambaxp.org.

The whole team looks forward to see everyone in Göttingen again.

Fast deployment, low maintenance requirements, easy upgrades, uncomplicated relocation - in short: effective time and cost savings. This is what characterizes the new SAMBA+ Container released by SerNet. SAMBA+ Container is now available for purchase via the SAMBA+ Shop, as a subscription for 1, 2 or even 3 years. 

SAMBA+ integrated in an Ubuntu container allows a quick and easy setup of a file server using the script "csmb". The file server can be used either as a standalone server (users are stored locally) or as a domain member server (as part of an existing domain). We provide more detailed documentation for SAMBA+ containers in our SAMBA+ How-to. 

The established SerNet subscription models with terms of 1, 2 or 3 years also facilitate both extensive testing and long-term planning. Of course, all updates available during the subscription period are included. 

Support from SerNet

SAMBA+ Container can be supplemented with support services by purchasing SAMBA+ support budgets or by signing a support contract. All inquiries regarding Samba, SAMBA+ and the SAMBA+ container, e.g. configuration, installation, planning or operation, are covered by SerNet support. Ask us – e.g. via contact@remove-this.sernet.com – we will be happy to help you. 

The future of SAMBA+ Container

The SerNet Samba team is already working on the further development of SAMBA+ containers. Printing services will soon be added to the Samba file server container, and a container for Active Directory Domain Controllers is also planned for release. Our team will be happy to keep you informed about development progress - just contact us.
