Taking advantage of the summer break, I’ve been dedicating some time to maintaining and evolving the LoneStar Network. This post summarizes the main updates made in recent weeks, both to share the latest infrastructure developments and as a personal reminder.
Actions and updates
- Mail Service: DKIM management migration to s/qmail completed, abandoning the old qmail-remote.sh wrapper in favor of the native management introduced with s/qmail 4.
- Music Service (private): The personal fork of GNU FM (v0.1.4) has been released to production, introducing a new graphical theme and expanded administration and reporting features.
- OpenSim Service: The Docker container has been updated from OpenSimulator 0.9.2.2 to 0.9.3.0, migrating the runtime from .NET Mono 6 to .NET 8 and switching the architecture from standalone to local grid. Due to Diva Wifi‘s incompatibility with .NET 8, I have shelved the implementation attempt and am currently working on integrating the w4os WordPress plugin for web-based management of the Region. This plugin appears to be the only web management plugin for OpenSimulator with some ongoing development.
- Document Management Service (private): Updated the Alfresco CE Docker stack from version 26.1 to 26.2 (with ACS 26.2 and Share 26.3.0). This included migrating the database from PostgreSQL 15.6 to 17.9 and switching the search engine from Solr6 to OpenSearch 2.0.
