| The input method framework on the workstation is provided by ibus. Input methods and keyboard layouts can be configured in the control-center, and selected in shell keyboard menu. The supported application toolkits all support ibus. | | The input method support for the Fedora Server console access will be limited to LOCALE support in the command shell. |
| | |
| | Input method support in the optional graphical console will be aligned with the Fedora Workstation offering. |

| The workstation session will switch to using a Wayland compositor as soon as feasible. Until then, it will be based on X11. | | The optional graphical console will be aligned with the Fedora Workstation offering. |
| Even after the switch, an X server will be included, so applications can either connect to Wayland natively, or run as an X client.
| |
|
| |
|
| === Media support ===
| |

| |
|
| Sound hardware and audio streams will be managed by pulseaudio. Applications are recommended to use the

| The workstation will ship with a single theme, which will have support for the included toolkits: gtk3, qt and gtk2. Applications are expected to work
| | <Simo: do you want to talk about how the shell is configured, defaults, bash-completion, vim-enhanced/emacs/other plugins?> |
| well with this theme, as well as with the high-contrast theme that is used for accessibility. The theme will include a dark variant that applications
| |
| can opt into using (this is most suitable for certain content-focused applications). The theme also includes an icon theme that provides named icons according to the icon-naming spec, plus symbolic variants.
| |
|
| |
|
| We will be using the Adwaita theme, with a yet-to-be-written qt variant.
| | Appearance of the optional graphical console will be aligned with the Fedora Workstation offering. |

|
| |
|
| Packaged applications are also expected to provide [http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ appdata] for use in the application installer.

|
| The desired installation experience for the workstation product is to limit the pre-installation user interaction to the minimum. The storage configuration UI should be focused on the classes of hardware that are expected in workstation-class machines. Package selection is not necessary: the installer will install the workstation product as defined. Tweaks, customizations and software additions should be performed after the installation. | | The desired installation experience for the Fedora Server product is to limit the pre-installation user interaction to the minimum. The storage configuration UI should provide a single sensible default and an alternative, fully customizable configuration UI. |
| | |
| One aspect of storage configuration that will be needed is support for dual-boot setups (preserving preexisting Windows or OS X installations), since e.g. students may be required to run software on those platforms for their coursework.
| |
| | |
| gnome-initial-setup already provides support for post-install user creation, language selection, timezone configuration, etc. If necessary, it should be extended to cover all required setup tasks.
| |
| | |
| === Other ===
| |
| | |
| TBD: containers, supported languages
| |
|
| |
|
| == Core Applications ==
| | Package selection will be supplementary. There will be no option in the installer to install less than the Fedora Server standard installation. Options to install Fedora Server Roles will be provided, as well as a UI to install other software from the Fedora Project repositories. |
|
| |
|
| Core applications are part of the Workstation product and can not be removed.
| | Fedora Server will expect to be the sole citizen on the system. Support for coexisting with other operating systems is not a goal. |
|
| |
|
| Applications can depend on any services that are listed above, and can assume that all of the packages listed below are present on the system.
| |
| They can not require other applications to be installed.
| |
|
| |
|
| === Application installer === | | == Server Roles == |
|
| |
|
| gnome-software will serve as graphical application installer, offering to install and remove applications, system extensions and add-ons (such as fonts, or codecs) and other optional software. To be presented in the application installer, applications need to provide appdata.
| | The following Server Roles are approved to be worked on in the Fedora 21 timeframe. |
|
| |
|
| === Web Browser ===
| | The public D-BUS API to support Server Roles will be provided from the Cockpit Project. |
|
| |
|
| firefox will be used as the web browser.
| | === Domain Controller === |
|
| |
|
| === Terminal emulator ===
| | The Fedora Server Domain Controller Role will be provided by the FreeIPA project. |
|
| |
|
| gnome-terminal will be installed as a terminal emulator. More powerful options, such as terminator, can be investigated.
| | This Server Role is a blocker for the release of Fedora Server in Fedora 21. |
|
| |
|
| === Text Editor === | | === Database Server === |
|
| |
|
| gedit will be installed as a simple text editor.
| | The Fedora Server Database Server will be provided by the PostgreSQL project. |
|
| |
|
| === File Manager ===
| | This Server Role is a nice-to-have for the release of Fedora Server in Fedora 21. |
|
| |
|
| nautilus will be installed as a file manager.
| |
|
| |
| === Virtualization frontend ===
| |
|
| |
| gnome-boxes will be available for the creation and use of vms, as well as for connecting to remote systems, e.g. ovirt.
| |
|
| |
| === Developer assistant ===
| |
|
| |
| The developer assistant will provide an easy way to set the workstation up for various software development use cases.
| |
|
| |
| === TODO ===
| |
|
| |
| * non-core, default applications ?
| |
| * other developer-focused software

| === TODO ===
| |

| * Do we need to pin down versions ?
| |
| | |
| | |
| === Policies for software add-ons ===
| |
| | |
| General rules and policies for how extra software is installed and what requirements are put on that software.
| |
| | |
| * Optional software must not interfere with the regular functionality of mandatory components. E.g. installing optional audio software must not prevent other applications from using pulseaudio and gstreamer for media playback.
| |
| | |
| * Optional software should integrate properly into the defined extension points of the OS:
| |
| ** Applications should provide desktop files and icons
| |
| ** Applications should provide appdata (link?) for the software installer
| |
| ** System services should provide systemd units
| |
| ** Desktop environments should provide a desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions
| |
| | |
| * It must be possible to remove optional software from the system again
| |
| | |
| == Installation methods and media ==
| |
| | |
| We will produce a live .iso image. The primary target for this image will be USB sticks, but the ability to burn the image to a DVD should be preserved (since we are still getting regular requests for such media). There is no pressing reason to restrict the image to the current 1GB size target. Persistence is not an important feature of the live media, whose primary focus should be to install the system.
| |
| | |
| gnome-disks can create USB sticks on Fedora, and liveusb-creator is the tool we have to let people create USB sticks on Windows or Linux. Both of these tools may need to be extended with support for EFI (whatever that means in detail).
| |
| | |
| == Hardware requirements ==
| |
| | |
| We expect to support 64bit machines with suitable graphics and display resolutions. Hi-resolution displays, touchscreens and wacom tablets are
| |
| interesting hardware and should be supported.
| |
| | |
| == Engineering Roadmap ==
| |
| | |
| Not sure if we want this section here or if we should just make this a pure description document and put the implementation roadmap in a separate document.

Fedora Server Technical Specification
This document aims to describe the technical characteristics Fedora Server product in detail. This includes provided services and APIs, installed software, etc. Some of the desired characteristics may not be entirely achievable in the first version of the Server product, and will be approximated.
The content of the spec unavoidably overlaps with the work of the Base Working Group, and needs to be aligned with their deliverables.
Core Services and Features
This section should describe the core services of the platform and their intended use. The items here should refer back to the PRD for a functional justification.
Supported Architectures
Fedora Server will run on and provide install media for i686, x86_64 and armv7hl servers. In the future, Fedora Server will also support armv8 (64-bit) when the hardware becomes available.
File system
The default file system type for Fedora Server installs will be XFS running atop LVM for all partitions except /boot. The /boot partition will remain a non-LVM partition due to technological limitations of the bootloader.
File-system layout will be discussed with the Anaconda team and reasonable defaults will be selected based on a combination of the number of available, selected disks and the available memory on the system (for determining SWAP space).
Service management
Systemd provides ways to control and monitor the activity and status of system services, resources they require, etc. System services must provide systemd units to be included in the Fedora Server standard installation. See the systemd documentation.
Logging
The systemd journal will be used as the local storage backend for system logs. For 'managed' scenarios (e.g the 'developer in a large organization' use case of the PRD), it must be possible to collect the logs in a centralized location, off the local machine.
Applications and services can either use the syslog API or the journal APIs for their logging. See the journal API documentation.
Networking
This is not yet approved!
This statement is a work-in-progress draft and has not been agreed upon yet.
Network devices and connections will be controlled by NetworkManager by default. Server Roles that may need to interact with the network configuration must do so through the public NetworkManager D-BUS API.
Firewall
This is not yet approved!
This statement is a work-in-progress draft and has not been agreed upon yet.
A firewall in its default configuration may not interfere with the normal operation of programs installed by default.
Server Roles that need to interact with the firewall must do so through the public firewalld D-BUS API. Server Roles that modify the firewall must also provide a public configuration API describing what interfaces are permitted through the firewall.
A public, external API will be provided by the OpenLMI project to manage firewalld centrally. (This is not yet scheduled for a Fedora release, but is a medium-term plan)
SELinux
SELinux will be enabled in enforcing mode, using the targeted policy. The Fedora Server standard install and all promoted Server Roles must operate in enforcing mode.
Problem reporting
This is not yet approved!
This statement is a work-in-progress draft and has not been agreed upon yet.
Problems and error conditions (e.g. kernel oopses, Selinux AVCs, application crashes, OOM, disk errors) should all be reported in the systemd
journal.
Support for sending this information to a central place (like abrt does for crashes today) is mandatory.
Session tracking
This is not yet approved!
This statement is a work-in-progress draft and has not been agreed upon yet.
Logind will be used as the session tracking facility.
Applications that need to interact with sessions can use the logind library API, the D-Bus API, or a higher-level API
Account handling
This is not yet approved!
This statement is a work-in-progress draft and has not been agreed upon yet.
SSSD is providing the backing storage for identity management. The Fedora Server is expected to nearly always be configured for 'centrally-managed' user information; it must be possible to configure it to rely on a directory service for this information. Fedora Server will provide and support the realmd project for joining FreeIPA and Active Directory domains automatically. Interacting with other identity sources will remain a manual configuration effort.
The accountsservice is providing a D-Bus interface for user account information; this may be integrated into SSSD at some point.
Depending on their needs, application and services can either use the POSIX APIs (getpwent(), etc) or the accountsservice D-Bus interface to obtain
user information.
Software updates
This is not yet approved!
This statement is a work-in-progress draft and has not been agreed upon yet.
Software updates on the Fedora Server must be possible to perform either locally using command-line tools (e.g. yum/dnf) or centrally by common management systems (e.g. Puppet, Chef, Satellite, Spacewalk, OpenLMI).
Miscellaneous system information
This is not yet approved!
This statement is a work-in-progress draft and has not been agreed upon yet.
System locale, timezone, hostname, etc. will be managed through the services provided by systemd for this purpose.
See developer documentation for
localed,
timedated and
hostnamed
Virtualization
This is not yet approved!
This statement is a work-in-progress draft and has not been agreed upon yet.
libvirt-daemon will be used to manage virtualization capabilities.
systemd-nspawn will be used to manage containerization capabilities.
Display manager
This is not yet approved!
This statement is a work-in-progress draft and has not been agreed upon yet.
<Wording?>
Accessibility
This is not yet approved!
This statement is a work-in-progress draft and has not been agreed upon yet.
Accessibility support on the Fedora Server will be limited to devices supporting the vision-impaired on the console.
Accessibility support in the optional graphical environment will be aligned with the Fedora Workstation offering.
Input Methods
This is not yet approved!
This statement is a work-in-progress draft and has not been agreed upon yet.
The input method support for the Fedora Server console access will be limited to LOCALE support in the command shell.
Input method support in the optional graphical console will be aligned with the Fedora Workstation offering.
Graphics
This is not yet approved!
This statement is a work-in-progress draft and has not been agreed upon yet.
The optional graphical console will be aligned with the Fedora Workstation offering.
Appearance
This is not yet approved!
This statement is a work-in-progress draft and has not been agreed upon yet.
<Simo: do you want to talk about how the shell is configured, defaults, bash-completion, vim-enhanced/emacs/other plugins?>
Appearance of the optional graphical console will be aligned with the Fedora Workstation offering.
Application Integration
This is not yet approved!
This statement is a work-in-progress draft and has not been agreed upon yet.
Application integration into the graphical console will be aligned with the Fedora Workstation offering.
System Installer
This is not yet approved!
This statement is a work-in-progress draft and has not been agreed upon yet.
The desired installation experience for the Fedora Server product is to limit the pre-installation user interaction to the minimum. The storage configuration UI should provide a single sensible default and an alternative, fully customizable configuration UI.
Package selection will be supplementary. There will be no option in the installer to install less than the Fedora Server standard installation. Options to install Fedora Server Roles will be provided, as well as a UI to install other software from the Fedora Project repositories.
Fedora Server will expect to be the sole citizen on the system. Support for coexisting with other operating systems is not a goal.
Server Roles
The following Server Roles are approved to be worked on in the Fedora 21 timeframe.
The public D-BUS API to support Server Roles will be provided from the Cockpit Project.
Domain Controller
The Fedora Server Domain Controller Role will be provided by the FreeIPA project.
This Server Role is a blocker for the release of Fedora Server in Fedora 21.
Database Server
The Fedora Server Database Server will be provided by the PostgreSQL project.
This Server Role is a nice-to-have for the release of Fedora Server in Fedora 21.
Core Package list
List the core packages of the product. This list includes all packages that will be shipping on the core media. This is the mandatory minimal list of packages that needs to be installed on a system at all times for it to qualify as a Fedora Server install. This package list will be the priority focus for QA and bug fixing.
Package list
<TBD>
