This simplies getting the latest much.

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

this is expected as explained in https://documentation.kopano.io/kopanocore_administrator_manual/configure_kc_components.html#configure-the-kopano-server

@fbartels Thank you very much for your quick response! I’ll refer to the manual.

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

# Kopano communtiy package downloader
# you run it, it get the lastest versions and your ready to install kopano.
# a local file repo is create, which you can use for a webserver also.

@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,
