How to Install SOGo on Void Linux

SOGo is an open-source groupware server that can be used to manage emails, contacts, calendars, and tasks. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install SOGo on Void Linux.

Step 1: Update the System

Before proceeding, update the system by running the following command:

sudo xbps-install -Syu

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Next, we need to install some dependencies required by SOGo. Run the following command to install them:

sudo xbps-install -S gnustep-make gnustep-base-devel cc net-snmp-devel cyrus-sasl-devel libmemcached-devel libxslt-devel

Step 3: Download and Install SOGo

We can download the latest SOGo package from their official website. Once downloaded, we can install it using the following command:

sudo xbps-install path/to/sogo-x.x.x.x-Void-x86_64.txz

Step 4: Configure SOGo

After installation, we need to configure SOGo by editing the configuration file /etc/sogo/sogo.conf. You can use your favorite text editor to modify this file.

sudo nano /etc/sogo/sogo.conf

You can modify the default configuration according to your needs.

Step 5: Start and Enable SOGo

To start and enable the SOGo service, run the following commands:

sudo ln -s /etc/sv/sogo /var/service
sudo sv start sogo
sudo sv enable sogo

Step 6: Access SOGo Web Interface

After successfully starting the SOGo service, you can access its web interface by opening your web browser and type the following URL:

https://localhost/SOGo/

You will be prompted to enter your username and password. By default, SOGo uses the OpenLDAP server to authenticate users. You can configure your users in the /etc/openldap/slapd.conf file.

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed and configured SOGo on Void Linux. You can now use it to manage your emails, contacts, calendars, and tasks.
