How to Install SOGo on EndeavourOS Latest?

This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of SOGo on the latest version of EndeavourOS. SOGo is an open-source groupware application that provides a unified inbox, calendaring, and contacts management system.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing SOGo, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and enter the following command:

sudo pacman -S postgresql mysql redis memcached libwbxml libwbxml2 libmemcached libwbxml libwbxml2

Step 2: Install SOGo

Now we can start installing SOGo. Enter the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -S sogo

Step 3: Configure SOGo

In this step, we will configure SOGo. Open the SOGo configuration file using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/sogo/sogo.conf

Add the following lines to the configuration file:

SOGoTimeZone = Europe/London
SOGoMailDomain = yourdomain.com
SOGoHierarchySeparator = .
SOGoLanguage = English
SOGoUserSources = (
    {
        type = sql;
        id = directory;
        viewURL = "postgresql://sogo:sogopassword@localhost/sogo_user_profile?sslmode=require";
        canAuthenticate = YES;
        isAddressBook = YES;
        userPasswordAlgorithm = md5;
    }
);

Replace yourdomain.com with your domain name, and set the SOGoTimeZone to your timezone.

Save the configuration file and exit the editor.

Step 4: Start and Enable SOGo

To start the SOGo service, execute the following command:

sudo systemctl start sogod.service

To enable the SOGo service to start automatically during system boot, run the following command:

sudo systemctl enable sogod.service

Step 5: Accessing SOGo

SOGo should now be accessible from your web browser. Enter the following address in the address bar:

http://localhost/SOGo

You will be prompted to log in. Use the same credentials as your Unix user account.
