Kolab is an open-source groupware and collaboration platform that provides email, calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes management. In this tutorial, we will see how to install Kolab on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Before starting the installation process, make sure you have the following:
Before installing Kolab, it’s essential to update the system to the latest version using the following command:
sudo rpm-ostree update
This command will download and install the latest packages and updates available for your Fedora CoreOS distribution.
To install Kolab, we need to add the Kolab repository to our Fedora CoreOS system using the following command:
sudo rpm-ostree install https://obs.kolabsys.com/repositories/Kolab:/16/Fedora_33/x86_64/kolab.repo
The above command will download and install the Kolab repository to your system.
Now, let’s install Kolab on our Fedora CoreOS system using the following command:
sudo dnf install -y kolab
The above command will download and install all the packages required for the Kolab email server.
After installing the Kolab packages, we need to configure Kolab using the following command:
sudo setup-kolab
This command will launch the Kolab setup wizard, which will guide you through the configuration process.
The configuration wizard will ask you to set up a domain name, administrator login details, and other necessary settings to set up your Kolab email server.
Once the configuration wizard completes, start the Kolab services using the following command:
sudo systemctl start kolab
This command will start all the required Kolab services.
In this tutorial, we have seen how to install and configure Kolab on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. After completing the installation, you can access your Kolab email server using the web interface or email clients such as Thunderbird.
