Nextcloud: Migration and change of base DN, LDAP auto discovery

[stephdl]

We need to test the migration of an openldap directory.nh to another base DN set by the sysadmin with the use of nextcloud. Alternatively the LDAP settings discovery is not automatic, it is done when the sysadmin configure the settings panel

For this purpose the test the platform we need to install on NS7 and migrate the whole stack to NS8

nethserver-openldap
nethserver-nextcloud

nextcloud version to test with new event user-domain-changed : ghcr.io/nethserver/nextcloud:1.2.0-dev.1

test case 1(direct install)

• install an account provider openldap or SAMBA AD
• install the testing version of nextcloud: add-module ghcr.io/nethserver/nextcloud:1.2.0-dev.1
• configure it
• you can login to nextcloud with the user of ldap

test case 2 (migration from NS7 to NS8)

• install on NS7 the testing version of nethserver-ns8-migration
  yum install http://packages.nethserver.org/nethserver/7.9.2009/testing/x86_64/Packages/nethserver-ns8-migration-1.0.18-1.1.g865021d.ns7.x86_64.rpm

• install an account provider open-ldap

• install nextcloud

• modify the bind.env to set the version of nextcloud
  this is an example :
  vim /usr/share/nethesis/nethserver-ns8-migration/apps/nethserver-nextcloud/bind.env
  change MODULE_IMAGE_URL="nextcloud"
  to MODULE_IMAGE_URL="ghcr.io/nethserver/nextcloud:1.1.9-dev.1"

• migrate nextcloud by the UI, set a bind DN like asked by the UI

• once the stack is migrated, using the remote account provider you can use nextcloud with a user of the LDAP

• once the test before is good, migrate the account provider

• at the end of the account provider migration, the event user-domain-changed is triggered and all the services nextcloud will restart (you can see it in journald of NS8)

• once the stack is migrated,do not reconfigure something, just test, you can continue to login to nextcloud. In any case do not configure the settings panel of nextcloud NS8 panel

test case 2 written @gsanchietti

Test case 2 verified: after the migration, the LDAP configuration of Nextcloud reports the correct user domain.
Please bear in mind that Nextcloud could take a couple of minutes before being fully reconfigured.
