Nextcloud

Question: Who is using FAIRagro Nextcloud so far?

• TA4
• DataStewards

Ideas for announcing Nextcloud if testphase is finished

• official Email to task areas
• provide a webinar / tutorial video

TODO

• Dave/Xenia: Provide a list with all users of Nextcloud and send it to Matthias
  • DONE
• Dave/Carsten: define a backup schedule
• Xenia/Dave: e.g., clarify backup system; "can files / directories from last week restored?"
• Dave : XS says CS got versioning enabled - double check this
• Dave : NC account auto-provisioning (or not) etc
• Dave : NC 'how to' docco
• Timeplan: Q2/2024 for whole consortium

Zammad

• ticket system, that was first requested by data stewards
• in future, multiple (FAIRagro internal) helpdesks could be realized

Info: Measure 4.3 uses "userback" for getting Feedback

TODO

• sit down with Florian Beyer, Dave, Marcus to develop plan for next steps
• Dave: Check AAI integrations/support (if any)
  • https://admin-docs.zammad.org/en/latest/settings/security/third-party/saml.html
    • SAML + keycloak supported, but not OIDC

[specka]

LimeSurvey

• we need to provide some legal frame for the lime survey due to data protection issues; here we should talk with Lea, if some kind of discaimer should be provided in the handout
• if handout is ready, we need to announce it to the consortium

Announcement plan

• Email
• Onboarding document
• Footer of FAIRagro Portal (ask Manuela)
• later mayber permanent position in Nextcloud

TODO

• Xenia: talk with Carsten H. and Lea for the legal disclaimer
• inform Laura about the task
• Dave: check AAI integrations/support (if any).
  • appears to be a paid optional here : https://survey-consulting.com/product/limesurvey-saml-plugin/
  • the other oidc plugins are 4 years old
• Dave : 'how to' docco

Datahub (Gitlab Middleware)

TODO

• Dave: check gitlab:
  • calculate amount of space that we can provide for the Gitlab instance at ZALF; send this information to Measure 4.2
    • NOTE: we are getting new storage also for Draven, need to consider that in any reply
  • LFS support (it's a tickbox in the general settings).
  • if middleware will be using files > 10MB in size
  • AAI support/integrations

[specka]

AAI

Didmos

• no subgroups
• no social AAI

Helmholtz AAI

• subgroups yes
• Social acounts yes
• Dataset restriction: unclear

Summary

• didmos and Helmholtz AAI are not fullfilling all requirements, are nevertheless quite promising
• there was the idea to use Keycloak instead

TODO

• Stephan Lesch: find out, if a test Keycloak could be installed at SGN
• meeting between Carmen, Stephan, Carsten, Dave and Xenia to talk about future strategy of AAI; find out, what we want to achieve from Measure 4.1 and Measure 4.2 perspective, to plan the next steps
• Dave: followup with Heidelberg people how they got keycloak working with NC (using Unity OIDC)

FAIR assessment tool

• there is an API; ask Jascha Jung; maybe we at ZALF can use the API to assess the overall FAIR status of the BonaRes Repository
  • could be cool to play around with it

[specka]

UC 2

• talk with Xinxin about what information they need from the BonaRes Knowledge Library;
• inform Xinxin about Publisso, which could be also a source of information , that UC2 could use
