      and what i do after,

      RANDOMPASSWD(){ < /dev/urandom tr -dc _A-Z-a-z-0-9 | head -c${1:-16};echo; } 
      

      or run this on CLI or put it in .bashrc ( and type source .bashrc or logout/login again )
      With the latest versions of kopano the (most) of the defaults are ok.

      After the install create the kopano database. Read the manual, or use this more easy way, in my optionion.

      ##### Setup the Database
      # Set a random mysql password.
      SQLDBPWD="$(RANDOMPASSWD)"
      ##### Create database and set rights. 
      mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf -Bse "CREATE DATABASE dbkopano"; 
      mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf -Bse "CREATE USER ukopano@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '$SQLDBPWD'";
      mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf -Bse "GRANT all ON dbkopano.* TO 'ukopano'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '$SQLDBPWD'";
      

      ukopano = user
      dbkopano = database name

      change the “secret key in kopano-presence”

      sed -i "s/#server_secret_key = GEHEIM/server_secret_key = $(RANDOMPASSWD)/" /etc/kopano/presence.cfg

        @fbartels, the above options can also be used to create the sql database at install.

          If I do your command for the installation I get this error:

          root@svgwma-kopa-01:/tmp/core-8.6.80.760_0+90-Ubuntu_18.04-amd64# apt install kopano-server-packages
          N: Datei »kopano.list”« in Verzeichnis »/etc/apt/sources.list.d/« wird ignoriert, da sie eine ungültige Dateinamen-Erweiterung hat.
          E: Typ »„deb« in Zeile 1 der Quellliste /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kopano.list ist unbekannt.
          E: Die Liste der Quellen konnte nicht gelesen werden.
          N: Datei »kopano.list”« in Verzeichnis »/etc/apt/sources.list.d/« wird ignoriert, da sie eine ungültige Dateinamen-Erweiterung hat.
          

          So probably is something wrong with the repo. It’s a fresh installation and I have only installed LAMP. I have not made any other changes to the system.

            ok, i’ll make it more easy for you. Follow this to the letter.

            mkdir -p /home/kopano/amd64
            mv /tmp/core-8.6.80.760_0+90-Ubuntu_18.04-amd64/*.deb /home/kopano/amd64/
            cd /home/kopano
            apt-ftparchive packages amd64/ > amd64/Packages
            echo "deb [trusted=yes] file:/home/kopano amd64/" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kopano-com.list
            apt update
            apt install kopano-server-packages
            

            That should do it.

            Please note that after a reboot your /tmp is empty and the folder core-8.6.80… is gone and you wil have message on every apt update

              Unfortunately it is still not working. The problem must be in the following file:

              /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kopano.list
              „deb file:/home/kopano/amd64/core-8.6.80.760_0+90-Ubuntu_18.04-amd64 ./“
              

              This is the error i get:

              root@svgwma-kopa-01:/home/kopano/amd64# apt update
              N: Datei »kopano.list”« in Verzeichnis »/etc/apt/sources.list.d/« wird ignoriert, da sie eine ungültige Dateinamen-Erweiterung hat.
              E: Typ »„deb« in Zeile 1 der Quellliste /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kopano.list ist unbekannt.
              E: Die Liste der Quellen konnte nicht gelesen werden.
              root@svgwma-kopa-01:/home/kopano/amd64# nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kopano.list

                @hispeed the quotes in your posts look weird. maybe that is actual a unicode quote? I’d recommend to just copy & paste the above examples.

                  I set up a new server again because i probably messed around to much.

                  So far everything is fine.

                  mkdir -p /home/kopano/amd64
                  cd /home/kopano/amd64
                  wget https://download.kopano.io/community/core:/core-8.6.80.760_0%2B90-Ubuntu_18.04-amd64.tar.gz
                  tar xfvz core-8.6.80.760_0+90-Ubuntu_18.04-amd64.tar.gz
                  cd core-8.6.80.760_0+90-Ubuntu_18.04-amd64
                  cd /home/kopano
                  apt-ftparchive packages amd64/ > amd64/Packages
                  echo "deb [trusted=yes] file:/home/kopano amd64/" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kopano-com.list
                  apt update
                  apt install kopano-server-packages
                  
                  

                  @fbartels you wrote about the " which were looking strange to you. It comes from copy paste from your comment:

                  https://www.pc-howto.com/kopano-der-neue-stern-am-groupwarehimmel-teil-1/#comment-152876

                  Thanks for your help, Core installation successfull with those steps.

                    Good to see it works now.

                    So the full “copy past part” is the following for others…
                    And you only need to change the filename/version for new versions.

                    if [ ! -d /home/kopano/amd64 ]
                    then
                         mkdir -p /home/kopano/amd64
                    fi
                    cd /home/kopano/
                    
                    wget https://download.kopano.io/community/core:/core-8.6.80.760_0%2B90-Ubuntu_18.04-amd64.tar.gz
                    tar xfvz core-8.6.80.760_0%2B90-Ubuntu_18.04-amd64.tar.gz
                    mv core-8.6.80.760_0+90-Ubuntu_18.04-amd64/*.deb /home/kopano/amd64/
                    
                    apt-ftparchive packages amd64/ > amd64/Packages
                    if [ ! -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kopano-com.list ]
                    then
                        echo "deb [trusted=yes] file:/home/kopano amd64/" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kopano-com.list
                    fi
                    
                    apt update
                    apt install kopano-server-packages
                    

                    @ fbartels
                    To make the community package better accessable. How about. this.

                    getting the latest version not with:
                    wget https://download.kopano.io/community/core:/core-8.6.80.760_0%2B90-Ubuntu_18.04-amd64.tar.gz
                    but with :
                    wget https://download.kopano.io/community/core:/core-8.6-latest-Ubuntu_18.04-amd64.tar.gz

                    This simplies getting the latest much.
                    Just an idee.

                      you could also do it dynamically. e.g. like curl -L `lynx -listonly -nonumbers -dump https://download.kopano.io/community/core:/ | grep Ubuntu_16.04-amd64.tar.gz` | tar -xz --strip-components 1 -f -

                        Thank you very much, thats a nice one to know.
                        Any tips on … preventing downloading the same file again with this… :-),

                        When my get all community files script is ready i’ll post it on the forum.
                        I was at 99% and … i acedently deleted it… back to the old version and change it again.

                          @thctlo Hello,
                          did you succeed in writing a script which downloads and installes the community files?
                          I’m trying to install the community version on a fresh ubuntu 18.04 vm and am referring to the documentation.
                          I was wondering, because no default configuration files where present in the /etc/kopano folder after installing all .deb packages.
                          Therefore I’d like to try your script.
                          Best regards,
                          Marco

                                Hai,

                                Yes, the scripts im using is fine now, but it only installs and setups a repo.
                                and thanks Felix for the curl example. :-)
                                im using now.

                                But as fbartels (felix) is saying, use the manual to configure.
                                That what i also do.

                                All what this script do is, give you the option to
                                apt-get install …

                                #!/bin/bash

                                  @thctlo Thank you very much. This makes installation of the community-packages much easier. I’m looking forward to a running a working kopano-installation on my Ubuntu 18.04 VM.

                                  Best regards,

                                  Marco
