This is the second release of the server. If you think there is software that would be a good fit for its purpose please post your suggestion below .

It sounds like a really nice release, that will please the majority of potential users.

For me the Cockpit and Minidlna servers would go, as I use my server differently, including how I lock it down, or rather open it up. I allow ssh and SMB only, and only to specific ip addresses on my LAN.

For Media I use my own Media ‘Database’ app, that runs on the client, and treats the mounted samba filesystem as the database.

I’m currently using the Minimal 925 build. It works well for me.

Would you share your git repo for iso-profiles?

Thats the nice thing about the rolling release model. If you have an older release that works for you, there is no need to install newer versions.

I would if I had one.
