      @atakacs FYI since builds were broken in core for 16.04 and two newer lts releases are already available for Ubuntu, we ended up disabling it.

          if you are dead set on 16.04. You could buy a Kopano subscription, which gives you access to our qa’ed releases, which still includes 16.04. (this is what I would recommend for any production deployment anyways)

          If you are set on not buying a subscription you’d have to upgrade to for example 18.04 or 20.04 and continue using the nightly downloads.

            aha

            so Ubuntu 16.04 is indeed not supported… I can understand it but you should update your documentation. Would have saved me a LOT of time :(

              There are multiple dimensions to it. Like I said for our customers it is still supported (in regards to core). For Z-Push in general it is supported as well.

              Nothing that is part of the nightly downloads is formally supported and only provided “as is” and without guarantees.

                Ok you lost me here…

                All I need is Z-Push. Z-Push has a dependency to php7-mapi. How do I get it on 16.04 ?

                Or did you mean “16.04” is supported only for paying customers - which, again, I can perfectly understand… as long as you make it clear.

                  Z-Push itself does not have a dependency on it, only the Kopano backend of Z-Push has it.

                  Z-Push is a server implementation of the ActiveSync OTA protocol. For it to be usable you need a data backend for it. This backend can be Kopano, but could be IMAP, CalDAV, Zimbra, … as well.

                  As long as you do not install the Kopano Z-Push backend, you will be able to install Z-Push without any packages downloaded from download.kopano.io (nightly or supported).

                  Which backend do you want to use?

                    Aha - thanks for clarifying this.

                    I’m happy to use any backend that works :)

                    I just need ActiveSync OTA for Calendar, Contacts and mail for my otherwise working Zimbra 8.8.12 server.

                    Any advice ?

                      Well, you could have saved us all a LOT of time, if you would have said that you wanted to use Z-Push with Zimbra ;-)

                      I am not using the Zimbra backend myself, but you can find it at https://sourceforge.net/projects/zimbrabackend/

                        You have a point :)

                        In fact, that server was working perfectly with Z-push and Kopano community back-end until we updated Zpush to 2.5.2 (from repo).

                        So to be honest I did no really think about switching backend but insisted to continue to use the current solution…

                        That being said I suppose this will happen to anyone using Kopano community on 16.04. I guess google will bring them to this thread but maybe you should put some notice in a FAQ / support page

                          Now, you got me confused. Are you using Zimbra or Kopano for your groupware?

                          I also thought you were talking about a new installation. Which version did you use before? What stopped working when you upgraded?

                            Not completely clear to be honest (I have not deployed the server, just “inherited” it).

                            All I did was to apply the latest update to Z-Push (they were using 2.4.xxx) and it stopped working.

                            Checking the logs I saw there was an issue with "PHP-MAPI extension is not available ". Googling it I found out that it was part of the Kopano core package, hence my quest to have it working under 16.04…

                                Hi @atakacs

                                just to follow this up a bit.

                                @atakacs said in Is Ubuntu 16.04 still supported ?:

                                You have a point :)

                                I doubt that very much. Z-Push Kopano backend requires a Kopano server, it won’t work with any other groupware solution.
                                I suppose the BACKEND_PROVIDER setting in config.php was ‘BackendZimbra’ which was overwritten when you updated Z-Push.

                                The best is probably to remove all those obsolete Z-Push packages and follow installation instructions for the latest Zimbra backend version.
