Most sites will not see much change this week, there’s just a small tweak to the Ubuntu install process. Here are the details of the few notable changes…

Mail alias component

To silence some warnings from postfix on Ubuntu machines, the LCFG alias component now configures the /etc/aliases mail aliases file as part of the first stage of the install process.

KeepassXC packages

There is new support for mirroring the upstream Ubuntu package repositories for the KeepassXC project. It can be enabled by defining the APTLY_MIRROR_KEEPASSXC macro for your aptly package server.

nagios monitoring

There is a new NAGIOS_ALL_SERVERS_FQDN macro which holds a space-separated list of hostnames for all the DICE nagios servers (including any test servers). This may be useful when you need to allow access to a service from all nagios servers.

The DICE apache configuration has been tweaked to restrict web access to people who are in the nagios/user netgroup.

The nagios translator for the LCFG apacheconf component has been updated to use the check_curl utility for all tests. This utility has more features than the original check_http. The nagios translator for the LCFG openldap component has been fixed for the recent change which added an lcfg_ prefix to all local check command names.
