Installing on SME Server 10.1
MailArchiva On Premise v9.0.26
Downloading . . .
There are two options available
Option A (preferred)
https://help.mailarchiva.com/enterprise-linux-install
Copy and paste the command in Step 2
curl -sS https://bs.stimulussoft.com/api/v1/download/product/maonprem/linux/latest | grep -oP '"downloadUrl": *"\K[^"]*' | xargs curl | tar -xz -C /tmp && cd /tmp/mailarchiva-* && ./install && rm -r /tmp/mailarchiva-*
Note1: If you wish to keep the setup files (in /tmp/mailarchiva-*), don't copy "&& rm -r /tmp/mailarchiva-*" in the line above prior to issuing the command
Note2: As an alternative, the link to download the latest version may also be found on the download page. After downloading and extracting the archive, run ./install to begin setup.
Option B
Download and extract the most recent tar.gz archive
https://bs.stimulussoft.com/downloads
After extracting the archive, cd into the mailarchiva-* directory and execute the install script:
# ./install
You'll initially be required to read the license agreement . . .
Press [enter] to read the license agreement...
After reading through the agreement, you can proceed as follows . . . During the installation process (either method), you'll be asked two questions:
Do you agree to the terms of the agreement (yes/no)?
("yes" is the proper answer)
Max heap size [512m-7557m]?:
(If your server has 8GB of physical RAM, you can use 5192m for the Max heap size value)
Refer to http://help.mailarchiva.com/enterprise-memory-settings for heap space recommendations
If installation is successful, you'll see the following:
mailarchiva service installed
to start service, type sudo systemctl start mailarchiva
to stop service, type sudo systemctl stop mailarchiva
mailarchiva server has been installed in /opt/mailarchiva
after starting, access web console at http://localhost:8090
if service start fails, start server using /opt/mailarchiva/server/startserver

Tweaking The Installation: The SME Server Way
SME Server 10.1 requires a few additional tweaks in order to:
- allow Mailarchiva traffic on TCP port 8090
- allow Mailarchiva to run as a service under the SME Server system
- allow Mailarchiva to be publicly (or privately) accessible
- allow Mailarchiva to survive a server reboot
The tweaks required to make Mailarchiva work on SME Server 10.1 are:
mkdir /etc/systemd/system/mailarchiva.service.d
printf "[Install]\nWantedBy=sme-server.target" > /etc/systemd/system/mailarchiva.service.d/50koozali.conf
db configuration set mailarchiva service TCPPort 8090 access public status enabled
signal-event console-save
If you prefer not to have your implementation available to the public, change the 3rd line above to:
db configuration set mailarchiva service TCPPort 8090 access private status enabled
Then you can ssh to your server via a tunnel on port 8090 and then access Mailarchiva at http://localhost:8090
Kudos
I'm very grateful for the assistance of ReetP and Jean-Philippe Pialasse via the Contribs.org Forums for their guidance in getting this to work, and to the author of the original Mailarchiva Wiki How-To for the original initiative.
