One question I have is how should user management be handled? In the current MineOS, user authentication is based on shadow passwords on the system, and thus it leverages both permissions and security from that model.
Having mineos specific users has the benefit of potentially easier management (forces it into the webui) but has the drawback that MineOS must then have its own authentication system and persistent storage, like a SQLite db. This makes the management of the system entirely dependent on the webui, and to some degree, almost inaccessible/useless via CLI.
This of course may not be a bad thing, but it is different, and I’d be interested in hearing from a good sample of admins!
