Synex Server 13 RC2 is available with updated packages and significant improvements in synex-control.

NFS Module – Fully functional:

  • Fixed subnet preservation when changing directory or permissions
  • Fixed directory permissions (now correctly set to 777 for NFS access)
  • Fixed base directory management (/srv/nfs/ as fixed base path)
  • Fixed exports file corruption when using multiple subnets
  • Added input validation for directory names
  • Improved error handling in export and reload operations

Network Module – Work in progress:

We’ve identified a DNS management conflict when dhcpcd is present on the system. The issue manifests when configuring static IP: dhcpcd overwrites /etc/resolv.conf leaving it empty, and the dns-nameservers directive in /etc/network/interfaces.d/ doesn’t work without the resolvconf package.

Current workaround: Install resolvconf before using the network module:

apt install resolvconf

With resolvconf installed, DNS configuration works correctly in both DHCP and static modes. We’re working on fully resolving edge cases with dhcpcd for the next release.
