Kopano core with Debian 9

fbartels

There is no init on Debian 9 anymore. Instead you should use the systemd units

@fbartels what is the best linux base for kopano
and is this Supported

fbartels

You can find the list of supported distributions at
https://documentation.kopano.io/support_lifecycle_policy/linux_support_lifecycle.html#support-definitions-of-distributions. Generally speaking of you have a subscription and download from download.kopano.io/supported, then it’s supported.

Personally I would always go with something Debian based, but the is my personal preference. If you want easy setup and maintenance the Univention may be something for you.

Hi ben,

for me it is univention ucs as it is free in the core edition without restrictions, and debian based.
It has a powerful web gui for administration and with master backup support for ldap and samba it is also safe/redundant on ldap
and you can manage kopano from ucs web gui (most user settings and mail domains)

Hi externa
question
i make a backup with mysqldump from kopano UCS server, the DB ist 1,3MB
my old zarafa DB with same date have 100MB.
its a problem with dump?

AnotherAndy

hi,
pretty sure it’s a problem.
Which command did you use?
mysqldump kopano --skip-lock-tables --single-transaction -ukopano -pXXXXXX >kopanoDB.sql
best regards

benusa

@anotherandy thx. I have test with your parameter --> is the same result

Hi,

only a thougt from me.
But Zarafa in earlier versions stored the attachements in SQL DB and now in kopano they are stored in file system - can this be the cause of your different size in DB Dump ?
what was your zarafa config ? and how did you migrate the data to new server ?

i have install a new UCS Server Standrad with all kopano Apps
then i copy my data with z-push from Outlook to new Kopano
all data ok and SYNC with smartphone ok.
then i must a SQLDUMP with your parameters

So

i install a new Version from UCS Server on a notebook a testsystem.
then i make a mysql restore with the data from orginal kopano
the testsystem has no data.
the database ist very smal befor i restore

i dont no
i have test with manual mysqldump and parameters
and with “automysqlbackup” tool fpr linux

How did you do that ?

you can not import mails through z-push as activesync does not provide this - you’ll have to export to pst instead and import though kopano server console kopano-migration-pst tool

E-mail was not important in this case.
get the over kopano per imap from external system.
There they are still.
I am primarily concerned with calendars and contacts

@benusa

as i said in my previous port - dump to pst from outlook on old server - copy the pst to new server and run kopano-migrate-pst to import to new server and user - this implies mail, contacts and calendar items

Thank you
In principle, I have achieved my goal, the system is running excellent.
BUT
I wanted to test one if I fail the productive system, I set up the new system and want to import the SQL DB.
I also do a snapshot of the server all ok.
The goal is to create a SQL DB backup, which I can use again at any time.

fbartels

You are thinking way to complex. Just use kopano-backup to backup and restore your system. No need to go through ActiveSync and a PST export.

i have install the kopano core with debian 9

when i restart computer the kopano-server not aktiv
i must start from console.

in “/init.d/” are not startscripts from all services for kopano

thx
ben

Hi ben,
if you still want to try it with debian 9 that would be your solution,

systemctl list-units | grep kopano
systemctl enable kopano-dagent
systemctl enable kopano-server

Bro

@sinux

you can add:
systemctl enable kopano-spooler
(en if necessarry for your setup ‘systemctl enable kopano-gateway’)

to that list. Took me hours of troubleshooting to find out the kopano-spooler should be running but wasn’t. :-/

Bro
