Zimbra Collaboration is an open source email and collaboration platform that provides a complete set of email, calendar, and contact management features for your organization. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Zimbra Collaboration on FreeBSD Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following requirements:
The first step is to update the system and install the necessary dependencies for the Zimbra installation. To do this, run the following commands:
$ sudo pkg update
$ sudo pkg upgrade
$ sudo pkg install wget nano perl net-tools sudo dialog pkgconf pcre libidn2 libcap libxml2 expat gmp gnutls libgcrypt curl
Set the server hostname to the FQDN of the server by running the following command, replacing server.example.com with your own FQDN:
$ sudo hostnamectl set-hostname server.example.com
$ sudo echo 'hostname="server.example.com"' >> /etc/rc.conf
Disable Sendmail as it may conflict with the Zimbra installation. To disable it, run the following command:
$ sudo echo 'sendmail_enable="NO"' >> /etc/rc.conf
Download the latest version of Zimbra Collaboration for FreeBSD by running the following command:
$ sudo wget https://files.zimbra.com/downloads/8.8.15_GA/zcs-8.8.15_GA_3869.FREEBSD10_64.20190917004220.tgz
Extract the Zimbra Collaboration package and change to the extracted directory by running the following commands:
$ sudo tar xvzf zcs-8.8.15_GA_3869.FREEBSD10_64.20190917004220.tgz
$ cd zcs-8.8.15_GA_3869.FREEBSD10_64.20190917004220
Run the Zimbra installation script by running the following command:
$ sudo ./install.sh
The installation script will prompt you to accept the license agreement, set the admin password, configure the network settings, and set up the SSL certificate.
After the installation is complete, start the Zimbra Collaboration services by running the following command:
$ sudo su - zimbra -c "zmcontrol start"
Verify that all Zimbra services are running by running the following command:
$ sudo su - zimbra -c "zmcontrol status"
You should see a list of running services with no errors.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Zimbra Collaboration on FreeBSD Latest. You can now access the Zimbra web-based administration console at https://server.example.com:7071/zimbraAdmin and the user interface at https://server.example.com.
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!
