[New Plugin] Configure and use fetchmail from the WebApp
-
That’s great, I am sure it will be very very useful, I’ll give it a try as soon as I can.
-
@mcostan Thanks.
I’ve also added some screenshots to the github page.

Hi Olia,
Thanks for sharing. Looks promising.
-
Great work @olia :thumbsup:
I’ll be rolling it out shortly and will report back with any bugs/issues.
UPDATE: Runs great! Thanks again =)
Cheers

Thanks a lot !!

Hi,
I have copied the GIT code to:
/usr/share/kopano-webapp/plugins/fetchmailthen copied the config.php to /etc/kopano/webapp/config-fetchmail.php
restarted apache2 but the new plugin does not come up.
I am doing something wrong?

Here it is:
root@mrc-ubz64:/etc/kopano/webapp# ls -rtl config-fetchmail.php
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 Mar 16 16:32 config-fetchmail.php -> /usr/share/kopano-webapp/plugins/fetchmail/config.php
root@mrc-ubz64:/etc/kopano/webapp# ls -lrt /usr/share/kopano-webapp/plugins/fetchmail/config.php
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 1065 Mar 16 16:32 /usr/share/kopano-webapp/plugins/fetchmail/config.phpThe error log doesn’t mention fetchmail at all…
I am sure this is something I am doing wrong though.
-
Did you activate the plugin in the kopano settings?
-
Apologies I think this is me being stupid.

Will try again, but it is me being stupid.

No problem, happens to the best of us ;-)

now indeed it comes up fine. Thanks a lot!

Question @Kopano
Do you think it would be worth having a common area, sourcecode, packages or whatever where plugins like this are available for all users?
I.e. a central repository where people can go in and search which plugins are available in addition to the official Kopano ones?
-
@mcostan yes, we have that already on our agenda. As a matter of fact I just added some more links and made it public. You can find it at https://stash.z-hub.io/projects/COM/repos/projects-and-resources/browse
@olia would you be so kind to run through the explained workflow in https://stash.z-hub.io/projects/COM/repos/projects-and-resources/browse/CONTRIBUTING.md and add your project? I am interested if the instructions are clear enough or need to be clarified/simplified. Thanks!

@fbartels
I’ve read the document, and followed it (waiting to hear back for write access to the repo).
Also the instructions are clear enough. -
@olia thanks, I just replied to your request.

Hi,
I am not a very skilled Linux user, but i come as far as getting the Fetchmail plugin show up as a plugin. But as soon as i go to the Options in Kopano, i get a Http 500 internal server error as long as the plugin is enabled. So i must be doing something wrong. I’ll try to describe what i have done:I use a Univention debian distro in a virtual machine. I installed Kopano-core & Kopano-webapp & got that working, including sending mail via a smart relay host.
Installed Requierements ( i think)
- fetchmail: dpkg -l | grep fetchmail shows it as installed
- libproc-daemon-perl: installed via apt-get
- MTA on the host machine (postfix): is working, i can send mail
- Database to store account informations (At the moment only ‘mysql’ is supported): i did not take specific action on this, i presume Kopano-core install took care of this?
I was able to download, install & activate the plugin; it shows up in the options in kopano-webapp.
I copied the example.config.php in the <kopano-webapp>/plugins/fetchmail folder to config.php ** in the same folder ** and customized the ‘changethis!’ part in define(‘PLUGIN_FETCHMAIL_PASSWORDS_AES_KEY’, “changethis!”)
i did not create a user to run the fetchmail daemon (i found the (default: fetchmail/nogroup) )
i did not Manual: Set the rights for the home directory to 600.
i did not Edit the <kopano-webapp>/plugins/fetchmail/php/daemon/kopano_fetchmail.pl if you used non-standard options.i Started the daemon with perl kopano_fetchmail.pl --start and no errors where shown.
I still have to create a startup script. (see kopano_fetchmail.service.example for a systemd config).
I did not make any symlinks as previously posted?
Thanks in advance

@pwhooftman
Update: i reinstalled phpmyadmin, and now the error states: Cannot connect to database. So, progress :-)But if i look in phpmyadmin no fetchmail user or table(s) for the plugin are present. Do i have to set up the mysql for the plugin myself (user, tables, etc) , or is that something the daemon should take care of?
-
Update: got it working
- Fetchmail was not installed yet :-|
- set mysql root users password
- changed mysql user & password to root in config.php
