Introduction
Cool Solutions are articles documenting additional functionality based on Univention products. Packages provided by a Cool Solutions Repository are built by Univention, but will not be maintained.
Cool Solutions are not covered by Univention Support. For questions about your support coverage contact your contact person at Univention before you want to implement one of the shown steps.
Repository integration
Some solutions need special packages build by Univention. These packages are provided in a Cool Solutions Repository. There are different possibilities to integrate the Cool Solutions Repository.
In the Univention Management Console, Software tab, open the module Repository settings and add a new repository component with Component Name cool-solutions and Advanced Setting Use unmaintained repositories.
Repository integration CLI
Alternatively, set the following Univention Configuration Registry variables on the console:
ucr set repository/online/component/cool-solutions=yes \
repository/online/component/cool-solutions/version=current \
repository/online/component/cool-solutions/unmaintained=yes \
repository/online/unmaintained=yes
Workaround
In case the UCR variables are not interpreted correctly, we suggest the following workaround:
echo "deb https://updates.software-univention.de/5.0/unmaintained/component/ cool-solutions/all/" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/30_cool-solutions.list
After an apt update you should be able to install the cool solutions.
The “Old” UCR variables can be removed.
Upgrade
If you have a cool solution repository integrated and plan to upgrade, please check if the Cool Solution is already available for target UCS Version.
Source Code
All Cool Solutions packages and their source code can be found at our github mirror. Feel free to fork the code repository, enhance a package and start a pull request.
