SOGo is an open-source groupware server software that provides features such as email, calendaring, and address book management. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing SOGo on Clear Linux Latest.
Before installing any new software, it is important to update the system to the latest available versions. To update Clear Linux, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo swupd update
Before installing SOGo, we need to install some dependencies. Run the following command to install them:
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-mysql devpkg-pgsql devpkg-gnutls devpkg-openssl devpkg-mariadb
Go to the SOGo download page and download the latest version of SOGo for your platform. In this tutorial, we will download the sogo-latest.zip
file.
wget https://sogo.nu/files/downloads/SOGo/Sources/SOGo-latest.zip
Extract the downloaded package to the /usr/local/lib/
directory.
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib
sudo unzip SOGo-latest.zip -d /usr/local/lib
Create symbolic links for the SOGo binaries and configuration files.
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/SOGo/bin/* /usr/local/bin/
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/SOGo/GNUstep/Defaults/conf/GNUstep.conf /etc/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf
Create a backup of the existing configuration file and then create a new configuration file.
sudo cp /usr/local/lib/SOGo/GNUstep/Defaults/SOGo.conf /etc/SOGo/
sudo nano /etc/SOGo/SOGo.conf
Change the following lines in the configuration file:
/* MySQL or Postgres */
SOGoProfileURL = "postgresql://sogo:sogo@localhost:5432/sogo/sogo_user_profile";
SOGoUserSources = (
{
type = sql;
id = contacts;
viewURL = "postgresql://sogo:sogo@localhost:5432/sogo/sogo_user_profile";
canAuthenticate = YES;
...
}
);
Start SOGo with the following command:
sudo sogo-ealarms-notify -WONOSYNC -WOCacheCleanup ./sogod -WOUseWatchdog YES -WOPidFile /tmp/sogo.pid -WOWorkersCount 4 -WOPort 20000
SOGo should now be installed and running on your Clear Linux system. You can access SOGo by visiting http://localhost:20000
.
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!
