SOGo is a Groupware server that allows users to share calendars, contacts, and emails with others. This tutorial will provide you with the steps to install SOGo on Debian latest using the terminal.
Before you proceed, ensure that you have the following:
SOGo is not available in the official Debian repository. You must add the SOGo APT repository to install SOGo on Debian latest. To do so, run the following commands:
echo "deb http://packages.inverse.ca/SOGo/nightly/5/debian/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/SOGo.list
sudo apt update
Once the repository is added to the sources list, you can install SOGo by running the following command:
sudo apt install sogo sogo-activesync
After installation, configure SOGo by editing the sogo.conf file located at /etc/sogo/sogo.conf. Use your preferred text editor and modify the configuration file with your server settings.
Once done, restart the SOGo service to apply changes:
sudo systemctl restart sogo
Open the necessary Firewall port for SOGo to work. By default, SOGo uses TCP port 20000. To allow traffic through the firewall port, run the following command:
sudo ufw allow 20000/tcp
To access SOGo webmail, open your web browser, and type your server IP address, followed by the SOGo subdirectory.
http://your_server_ip/SOGo
You will now see the login screen.
SOGo is an excellent Groupware server that makes sharing calendars, contacts, and emails with others a breeze. With this tutorial, you can easily install SOGo on Debian latest, and you will be up and running in no time.
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!
