Kolab installation successes

[Geoff Nordli]

Hi.

I will be deploying Kolab 16.1 on CentOS shortly.

On the mailing list and community hub you only hear about all the things
not working.

It would be great to hear some people's successes; especially geared
towards small business installations.

Also, if they have guam enabled/disabled.

thanks,

Geoff

towards small business installations.

Actually, I am reinstalling a server from scratch, on debian 8.
My last experience was with kolab 3.1 and it was a bit difficult to
configure the way I wanted.

I have tested K16 the past few days and here is what I think : cool :)
Installation is (very) easy, the roundcube working fine and really
speed, kolab-webadmin easy as usual, etc...

I have not yet tested all sub-fonctionnality (seafile, sub domains,
multiple domain) because I first have to migrate 60Go+ of mail (by the
way the migration is successfull for the moment).

Migration of 389 : like a charm.
Migration of cyrus : like a charm.
Migration of sieve : need to activate the set of filter
Migration of calendars : like a charm
Migration of shared folders : like a charm

The 2 things not so cool :
- no cyradm : cyradm hangs and I can not log in cyrus admin console to
set rights, create mb or reconstruct indexes; no clue on google
- I have not started to secure my installation, but it seems that it is
still not very easy to set, even with letsencrypt.

This is really comforting me in kolab, because I can check that several
years after an installation, my data are not lost or incompatible.

HTH,

Kolab 16 single server setup under CentOS 7 works quite perfect just
following the docs.

I disabled guam in my setup but can't use the installation right now
because I can't get the hosted or multidomain functions to a working
setup.
If one has a hint for me (please no RTFM, that doesn't work for me,
don't know why, already described my problem at:
https://kolab.org/hub/topic/223/ptloader-problem-finding-the-domain-in-hosted-kolab-groupware-multidomain-setup-kolab16-on-cenos-7-3)
I'd be so happy.

If someone is interested, I secured webmail as described here:
https://kolab.org/hub/topic/224/roundcube-over-https/3 with lestencrypt
CERTs.

Nicolai

I'm running Kolab 16.1 on Debian 8.

Works great for my users. Debian is missing manticore and possibly other
newer features, but we don't need that. Guam is disabled due to the
known errors. Users are happy with IMAP and webmail, and use the seafile
integration.

Using TLS almost everywhere is hard. You'll need certificates for https,
imap, ldap, and smtp (and possibly more). You don't want to have
connections to localhost, so you'll need to change lots of connection
strings in config. I'm still not finished for all client accesses...
I suggest tackling one protocol at a time and log unencrypted accesses
to find clients in need of configuration changes.

Hi Geoff,

I am running Kolab 16 on debian 8 which I also integrated with nextcloud
11. All is working fine including updates and the system runs very
stable.

Sincerely

Stefan
