SOGo is a fully-featured groupware server that provides users with a modern and powerful web interface to access their emails, contacts, calendars, tasks, and notes. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install SOGo on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before installing SOGo, it is recommended to update the system to the latest version. Open a terminal and run the following command:
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
SOGo requires a database to store its data. We will use PostgreSQL as our database server. To install PostgreSQL, run the following command:
$ sudo apt install postgresql
After installing PostgreSQL, we need to create a new database user and database for SOGo. Open the PostgreSQL command prompt by running the following command:
$ sudo -u postgres psql
Create a new database user with a password:
postgres=# CREATE USER sogo WITH PASSWORD 'sogo';
Create a new database named "sogo" and grant permissions to the sogo user:
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE sogo;
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE sogo TO sogo;
Exit the PostgreSQL prompt by typing:
postgres=# \q
To install SOGo, open a terminal and run the following command:
$ sudo apt install sogo
During the installation, you will be asked to configure the database. Choose PostgreSQL as the database type and enter the following information:
After the installation is complete, start the SOGo service:
$ sudo systemctl start sogo
SOGo is now installed on your server. To configure it, open a web browser and go to http://<server's IP address>/SOGo. You should see the SOGo login page.
Log in with the following credentials:
After logging in, you will be prompted to create a new user. Enter the user's details and click "Create".
You can now access your SOGo groupware server by going to http://<server's IP address>/SOGo.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed SOGo on Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now start using SOGo to manage your emails, contacts, calendars, tasks, and notes.
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!
