Where is macOS server for Sequoia?

Hello, I hope the title is self explanatory.

As a system administrator I would like to use macOS server on Sequoia to manage the protected network behind this server:

  • bootpd,
  • natpmpd,
  • paquet filter,
  • postfix mail server,
  • squid proxy…

I am at a lost not to find in less than 15 minutes where this is available.

Sorry for the silly question.

The Apple Developer Forums are primarily focused on helping third-party developers create software products for Apple’s various platforms. You’ve made it clear that you’re approaching this from the perspective of a site admin. That distinction is critical in this case because the facilities you’re referring to are not appropriate for third-party developers to use. Rather, they’re available for benefit of users and site admins.

Given that reality, you might have better luck asking this question over in the Apple Support Community, run by Apple Support, and specifically in the Business and Education topic area, where you’re more likely to find folks with relevant experience.

As of April 21, 2022, Apple has discontinued macOS Server. Existing macOS Server customers can continue to download and use the app with macOS Monterey. As of October 29, 2024, Profile Manager will no longer be able to create or renew push notification certificates for device management, however, existing certificates will continue to function.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Thank you for the information. I understand better why I felt that stupid about not being able to find such a basic software, and wasting half an hour searching.

Will this version of macOS server for Monterey permit to manage:

  • bootpd,
  • natpmpd,
  • paquet filter.

My core problem is to set correctly all the security settings around /usr/libexec/InternetSharing and paquet filter ( /etc/pf.anchors ).

( I am working on a firewall able to protect against DDOS with 0 impact. )

For the other services I will be able to manage them through usual open sources servers, just the cc inside Xcode + a few hours of basic work.
