xsrv VS budibase

Yes, OpenLDAP installed from this ansible role

It's dead easy to use TCP/SSL instead of UDP to forward logs. Example rsyslog config

I use rsyslog for that since it's the default in Debian. Configuring forwarding is very simple, a single file in /etc/rsyslog.d/forwarding.conf [1]. Note that this setup uses TLS to encrypt messages so you need to create the relevant certificates (I use self-signed certs). Unencrypted TCP or UDP is simpler, but less secure.

preseed.cfg contains a few basic options needed to setup the OS [1]

I do this with https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/tree/master/roles/openldap + https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/tree/master/roles/samba. It's just a standalone samba server + LDAP auth for users, no DC or anything like that, so I'm not sure this is what you're looking for.

This ansible role (check the tasks/ directory) gives a good breakdown of what is needed to setup a basic LDAP server and authentication service

I use samba in standalone mode with or without LDAP auth https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/tree/master/roles/samba

Budibase is great at generating CRUD apps based on a model.

Congratulations to the Airplane team.

Is this Airtable moving in the direction of low-code rather than no code? Puts them up against tools like Budibase [https://github.com/Budibase/budibase] and Retool [Https://retool.com]

I skipped to chapter 9 in the article ("Clogged"), and it looked like Pipes failed because it didn't have a large enough team or a well-defined mission. As a result they couldn't offer a super robust product that would lure in enterprise users. "You could not purchase some number of guaranteed-to-work Pipes calls per month" is the quote from the article.

The reason I think that interesting is because that's the model these days for everything from AI tokens to Monday.com seats. It makes me feel like Pipes was before its time.

That said I've been collecting different "business glue" products that are similar to Pipes. To me, like you say, they aren't as interesting, exciting and intuitive as Pipes was, but maybe it just takes a little more digging. I tried to focus on open source tools but some aren't.
