In this tutorial, we will learn how to install SOGo on Alpine Linux Latest. SOGo is a free and open source groupware suite that provides email, calendaring, and contact management functionality through a web interface.
Before we start, make sure you have the following:
First, let's update the system using the following command:
apk update && apk upgrade
Next, we need to add the SOGo repository to Alpine Linux. To do this, create a new file called /etc/apk/repositories and add the following line:
https://dl.sogo.nu/packages/alpine/latest/
You can use any text editor to create this file. For example:
nano /etc/apk/repositories
Now, we are ready to install SOGo. To do this, run the following command:
apk add sogo sope50-gdl1-contentstore postgresql
This will install SOGo along with its dependencies.
After the installation, we need to configure SOGo to use the PostgreSQL database. To do this, open the /etc/sogo/sogo.conf file using a text editor:
nano /etc/sogo/sogo.conf
In this file, find the following lines:
/* PostgreSQL specific parameters */
SOGoProfileURL = "postgresql://sogo:sogo@localhost:5432/sogo/sogo_user_profile";
OCSFolderInfoURL = "postgresql://sogo:sogo@localhost:5432/sogo/sogo_folder_info";
OCSSessionsFolderURL = "postgresql://sogo:sogo@localhost:5432/sogo/sogo_sessions_folder";
Replace sogo, localhost, 5432, and sogo_user_profile with your PostgreSQL username, hostname, port, and database name, respectively.
Save the changes and restart the SOGo service using the following command:
/etc/init.d/sogo restart
SOGo is now installed and configured on your Alpine Linux server. To access the web interface, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/SOGo. You should see the SOGo login screen.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install and configure SOGo on Alpine Linux using a PostgreSQL database. You can now use SOGo to manage your email, calendars, and contacts from a web browser.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
