Linuxmuster-tools7

Features

This module groups some useful modules used in the linuxmuster.net's Webui:

• ldapconnector : make some basics requests to the ldap server
• samba : get informations from the samba backend (GPOs, smbstatus, drives, etc...)
• devices : Devices list, online checker
• lmnfile : parse the common configurations file used on linuxmuster.net's server a provide an unique interface to handle yaml, csv and conf files.
• linbo : manager for all linbo images, backups, differential images and files.

Please refer to each module's README for more details.

Installation

1. Import key:

wget -qO- "https://deb.linuxmuster.net/pub.gpg" | gpg --dearmour -o /usr/share/keyrings/linuxmuster.net.gpg

2. Add repo:

Linuxmuster 7.2 ( testing )

3. Apt update

sudo apt update && sudo apt install linuxmuster-tools7

LDAPConnector

LdapConnector is a simple way to get data from the ldap tree in the linuxmsuter.net's project, used in the Webui to accelerate some response time.

Examples

Filter atributes in a response

Just import the LdapReader obejct to start send requests. By default, a request will ship all attributes specified in the models, but you can filter it with the parameter list attributes:

>>> from linuxmusterTools.ldapconnector import LMNLdapReader as lr
>>> # Getting all schoolclasses
>>> lr.get('/schoolclasses', attributes=['cn'])
[{'cn': '8b'}, {'cn': '8d'}, {'cn': '12b'}, {'cn': '10b migrated'}, {'cn': '10atest'}, {'cn': '5a'}, ...]
>>> # Searching student with 'bla' in cn
>>> lr.get('/users/search/student/bla', attributes=['cn', 'homeDirectory'])
[{'cn': 'bla2', 'homeDirectory': '\\\\lmn\\default-school\\students\\15z\\bla2'}, {'cn': 'bla', 'homeDirectory': '\\\\lmn\\default-school\\students\\attic\\bla'}, {'cn': 'bla1', 'homeDirectory': '\\\\lmn\\default-school\\students\\15z\\bla1'}, {'cn': 'blatrule', 'homeDirectory': '\\\\lmn\\default-school\\students\\10a\\blatrule'}, {'cn': 'mablat', 'homeDirectory': '\\\\lmn\\default-school\\students\\blabla\\mablat'}]

Sorting

When getting many objects, you can use the parameter sortkey:

>>> lr.get('/schoolclasses', attributes=['cn'], sortkey='cn')
[{'cn': '5a'}, {'cn': '8b'}, {'cn': '8d'}, {'cn': '10atest'}, {'cn': '10b migrated'}, {'cn': '12b'}, ...]

Output type

If a response contains many items, you get a list of dict, but with the boolean parameter dict, you can switch to a dataclass object:

>>> lr.get('/schools', dict=False)
[LMNSchool(ou='default-school', distinguishedName='OU=default-school,OU=SCHOOLS,DC=linuxmuster,DC=lan')]

The object models are all defined in the models subdirectory.

Available requests

At this point, the following requests are available:

• /devices : get all devices
• /devices/NAME : get all informations about the device NAME ( as cn )
• /devices/search/SELECTION/QUERY : get all devices matching the SELECTION and QUERY criterias. SELECTION is role-based and can be set to all or a specific role like printer. QUERY is string which should be contained in the cn.
• /projects : get all projects
• /projects/PROJECT : get all informations about a single project named PROJECT
• /roles/ROLE : get all users in a specific ROLE ( ROLE can be e.g. teacher, globaladministrator, ... )
• /schoolclasses : get all schoolclasses
• /schoolclasses/SCHOOLCLASS : get all informations about a single schoolclass named SCHOOLCLASS
• /schoolclasses/SCHOOLCLASS/students : get all students informations about a single schoolclass named SCHOOLCLASS
• /schoolclasses/search/QUERY : if QUERY is e.g. 10, search all schoolclasses whose names contain 10
• /schools : get a collection of all schools in a multischool environment, models.LMNSchool, subdn='OU=SCHOOLS,')
• /users : get all users
• /users/USERNAME : get all informations about the user USERNAME ( as cn )
• /users/search/SELECTION/QUERY : get all users matching the SELECTION and QUERY criterias. SELECTION is role-based and can be set to all, admins or a specific role like student. QUERY is string which should be contained in the cn.

LMNFile

LMNFile is a common interface to open, parse and write some common confgurations files on a linuxmuster.net's server.

It's possible to open:

• yaml files, like the configuration file of the Webui
• Linbo's start.conf files
• csv files, like e.g. the teachers' list. For these common csv files, the fieldnames are automatically set
• the common Linbo files: .desc, .reg, .postsync, .info, .macct, .prestart (those are not parsed)
• .ini and .conf files.

LMNFile can be used in with statements, supporting read/write modes, in plaintext or binary.

Examples

Linbo start.conf file

>>> from linuxmusterTools.lmnfile import LMNFile
>>> with LMNFile('/srv/linbo/start.conf.101', 'r') as f:
...     data = f.data
... 
>>> data

>>> from linuxmusterTools.lmnfile import LMNFile
>>> with LMNFile('/etc/linuxmuster/sophomorix/default-school/devices.csv', 'r') as f:
...     data = f.data
...

Samba tool

This module should later get some useful informations on a linuxmuster.net server. Actually, it only gives the GPOs in use, as a dataclass object:

>>> from linuxmusterTools.samba import GPOManager
>>> mgr = GPOManager()
>>> mgr.gpos
{'Default Domain Controllers Policy': GPO(dn='CN={6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=linuxmuster,DC=lan', gpo='{6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}', name='Default Domain Controllers Policy', path='\\\\linuxmuster.lan\\sysvol\\linuxmuster.lan\\Policies\\{6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}', unix_path='/var/lib/samba/sysvol/linuxmuster.lan/Policies/{6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}'), 'Default Domain Policy': GPO(dn='CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=linuxmuster,DC=lan', gpo='{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}', name='Default Domain Policy', path='\\\\linuxmuster.lan\\sysvol\\linuxmuster.lan\\Policies\\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}', unix_path='/var/lib/samba/sysvol/linuxmuster.lan/Policies/{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}'), 'sophomorix:school:default-school': GPO(dn='CN={D8D248A8-A5BA-4209-882D-E15969E3B856},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=linuxmuster,DC=lan', gpo='{D8D248A8-A5BA-4209-882D-E15969E3B856}', name='sophomorix:school:default-school', path='\\\\linuxmuster.lan\\sysvol\\linuxmuster.lan\\Policies\\{D8D248A8-A5BA-4209-882D-E15969E3B856}', unix_path='/var/lib/samba/sysvol/linuxmuster.lan/Policies/{D8D248A8-A5BA-4209-882D-E15969E3B856}')}

Linbo image manager

This module provides an object to manage all linbo images, backups and extra files (rename, delete, ... ). The manager contains a dict of all groups in the attributes groups. Each group is a LinboImageGroup which lists all files, backups contained in the directory. You can get a dict of this description with the method to_dict() like bellow:

>>> from linuxmusterTools.linbo import LinboImageManager
>>> lim = LinboImageManager()
>>> lim.groups
{'ubuntu': <linuxmusterTools.linbo.images.LinboImageGroup object at 0x7f579b6443a0>, 'focal': <linuxmusterTools.linbo.images.LinboImageGroup object at 0x7f579b645f00>, 'test-linbo42': <linuxmusterTools.linbo.images.LinboImageGroup object at 0x7f579b25f7f0>, 'data': <linuxmusterTools.linbo.images.LinboImageGroup object at 0x7f579b25f7c0>}
>>> lim.rename('test-linbo42', 'test-linbo101')
>>> lim.groups
{'ubuntu': <linuxmusterTools.linbo.images.LinboImageGroup object at 0x7f579b6443a0>, 'focal': <linuxmusterTools.linbo.images.LinboImageGroup object at 0x7f579b645f00>, 'data': <linuxmusterTools.linbo.images.LinboImageGroup object at 0x7f579b25f7c0>, 'test-linbo101': <linuxmusterTools.linbo.images.LinboImageGroup object at 0x7f579b61a500>}
