===Description===

roundcubemail_plugins is deprecated in SME10, all is provided by smeserver-roundcube
−
RoundCube Webmail is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an application-like user interface. It provides full functionality you expect from an e-mail client, including MIME support, address book, folder manipulation, message searching and spell checking. For more information see ''http://www.roundcube.net/''. Actually roundcube is only available with ''beta''-status and without some wishful extras, but it run very fast and stable.

====Roundcube plugins====
 +
 
 +
=====Installing additional plugins=====
 +
{{Note box|The upstream Roundcube project is currently transitioning from making plugins available through http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Plugin_Repository to a new full fledged plugin repository at http://plugins.roundcube.net and a semi-automated plugin installation process. SME server admins are encouraged to use the new style method described below. }}
 +
 
 +
To install an additional (non-default) Roundcube plugin in SME server roundcube :
 +
 
 +
'''Step 1:''' Find the plugin page on http://plugins.roundcube.net/packages (eg. http://plugins.roundcube.net/packages/cor/message_highlight)
 +
 
 +
'''Step 2:''' Take note of the package name and version shown in the 'require:' line right below the title of the plugin's version heading (eg. "cor/message_highlight": "dev-master")
 +
 
 +
'''Step 3:''' Add the package name and version to the "require:" block in /opt/roundcube/composer.json. Take attention to the comma (,) separator, it is really important!
 +
<tabs container=""><tab name="For SME 10">
 +
cd /usr/share/roundcubemail
 +
/usr/bin/php74  /usr/local/bin/composer require cor/message_highlight --with-dependencies
 +
</tab><tab name="For SME 9">
 +
nano /usr/share/roundcubemail/composer.json
 +
 
 +
  "require": {
 +
      "php": ">=5.3.0",
 +
      "roundcube/plugin-installer": ">=0.1.3",
 +
      "johndoh/markasjunk2": "dev-release-1.0",
 +
      "johndoh/contextmenu": "dev-master",
 +
      "johndoh/globaladdressbook": "dev-release-1.0",
 +
        "cor/message_highlight": "dev-master"
 +
    },
 +
 
 +
</tab><tab name="For SME 8">
 +
nano /opt/roundcube/composer.json
 +
 
 +
  "require": {
 +
      "php": ">=5.3.0",
 +
      "roundcube/plugin-installer": ">=0.1.3",
 +
      "johndoh/markasjunk2": "dev-release-1.0",
 +
      "johndoh/contextmenu": "dev-master",
 +
      "johndoh/globaladdressbook": "dev-release-1.0",
 +
        "cor/message_highlight": "dev-master"
 +
    },
 +
</tab></tabs>
 +
 
 +
'''Step 4:''' after each modification to composer.json, in order to automatically download and install the plugin launch
 +
rcplugin_update.sh
 +
 
 +
When asked, answer yes to automatically activate the plugin in the current Roundcube configuration.
 +
 
 +
'''Step 5:''' In order to keep the list of installed plugins persistent when this contrib is updated (ie. configuration templates are expanded again), you *absolutely* need to add the newly installed Roundcube plugin to the "PluginsList" property of "roundcube" in the configuration database of SME server in addition to steps above:
 +
 
 +
'''Step 5a:''' First show the list of plugins currently in the configuration DB:
 +
 
 +
config getprop roundcube PluginsList
 +
 +
''PluginsList=globaladdressbook,carddav,calendar,libcalendaring,contextmenu,markasjunk,vcard_attachments,newmail_notifier,emoticons,tasklist,managesieve''
 +
 
 +
'''Step 5b:''' Add your newly installed plugin to the list (separated by a comma (,) and without spaces) and activate the change:
  
−
* php applications will be faster with http://sourceforge.net/projects/eaccelerator
+
config setprop roundcube PluginsList globaladdressbook,carddav,calendar,libcalendaring,contextmenu,markasjunk2,vcard_attachments,newmail_notifier,emoticons,tasklist,managesieve,message_highlight
−
prepared for sme7 by MasterSleepy
 
−
http://www.vanhees.cc/index.php?name=CmodsDownload&file=index&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=314
 
  
−
  yum enablerepo=dungog install smeserver-eaccelerator
+
'''Step 5c:''' Activate the changes to the config DB:
 +
  signal-event roundcube-update
  
−
=== Local Settings ===
+
Step 5 in short, using backticks:
−
The config file is now templated, so changes need to be made in a new fragment
 
−
* eg. /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php/20local
 
−
check which setting you want to change with
 
−
cat /opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php.dist
 
−
then add the new setting in the new fragment and expand, it will overrule the old
 
−
expand-template /opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php
 
  
−
If you think your setting should be the SME default raise a bug
+
config setprop roundcube PluginsList `config getprop roundcube PluginsList`,message_highlight
 +
signal-event conf-roundcube
  
−
=== Bugs ===
+
To check for updates to plugins already installed, you can at any time issue the following command again:
−
Please raise bugs under the SME-Contribs section in {{BugzillaFileBug|product=|component=|title=bugzilla}}and select the smeserver-roundcube component or use {{BugzillaFileBug|product=SME%20Contribs|component=smeserver-roundcube|title=this link}}.
+
rcplugin_update.sh
  
−
=== Tested software versions ===
+
====Miscellaneous notes====
  
−
* Host: SMEserver v7.2
+
====Mail filter support (Sieve)====
−
* Installed: smeserver-roundcube 0.9-7.el4.sme
+
Roundcube on SME server comes with the managesieve plugin installed and enabled by default (sieverules has been deprecated and you must only use managesieve). The managesieve plugin adds additional menu items to the settings in Roundcube's webinterface to allow users to define mail filters and vacation messages in a convenient way.  
−
* Dependency Installed: roundcube 0.1-479svn.el4.sme
 
  
−
=== Additional information ===
+
=====Troubleshooting=====
−
A version of smeserver-roundcube was originally developed by Charlie Brady
+
* If mails are not correctly filtered by the filters configured in user's roundcube settings, check the following:
−
and another by Dietmar Berteld (berdie).  
+
** Is [[Dovecot-extras|smeserver-dovecot-extras]] installed and is the sieve service enabled ( <tt>config getprop sieve status</tt> => enabled )? If it is not enabled: <tt>config setprop sieve status enabled</tt>
 +
** Is using sieve deliberately disabled for the user in question ( <tt>db accounts getprop $USER Sieve</tt> => disabled )? If it is disabled: <tt>db accounts setprop $USER Sieve enabled</tt> (Note the capital "S" in Sieve!)
 +
** If [[Mailsorting|smeserver-mailsorting]] is also installed on the server, mails are first filtered by procmail or maildrop before they are handed off to the dovecot delivery agent and sieve filters. Chances are that a rule exists in a user's .procmailrc or .mailfilter file that intercepts all mails before they get to the latter stage in the mail delivery process.
 +

if you previously locked to version 1.5, to revert versionlock
  yum versionlock delete roundcubemail
  yum update -y
  signal-event smeserver-roundcube-update

yum install smeserver-roundcube --enablerepo=smecontribs

answer yes (y) for all plugins you want to activate

If you do not want to restart your server 

signal-event roundcube-update

or 

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

upgrade 

yum upgrade --enablerepo=smecontribs,remi-roundcube

For SME8

Remember to first configure the two required repositories, stephdl and epel, then issue the following command on the SME Server shell: 

yum install smeserver-roundcube --enablerepo=epel,stephdl
rcplugin_update.sh

answer yes (y) for all plugins you want to activate

If you do not want to restart your server 

signal-event roundcube-update

or 

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

Uninstallation

To remove the package issue the following command on the SME Server shell: 

yum remove roundcube smeserver-roundcube smeserver-roundcube_plugins

To remove mysql database and user, both are roundcube, see MySQL#Remove a database and MySQL#Remove a user. There is no need to reboot.

Usage

http://servername/roundcube and logon with your SME Server user account.


Important.png Note:
Roundcube will connect to IMAP with SSL to the primary domain of your server.

You need a valid or a self-signed certificate including your own domain name at least as alternative DNS.


Logs

less /var/log/roundcubemail/errors

less /opt/roundcube/logs/errors

Limit access to web interface

Important.png Note:
By default, the Roundcube webmail interface is accessible from the entire internet without requiring additional HTTP authentication.


Access to Roundcube can be fine-tuned by setting the corresponding property in the configuration DB of SME server:

To change to public access do 

 config setprop roundcube access public
 systemctl restart httpd-e-smith

or to change to private access (lan + authorized external IP) 

 config setprop roundcube access private
 systemctl restart httpd-e-smith

To disable roundcube 

 config setprop roundcube status disabled
 signal-event smeserver-roundcube-update

To enable roundcube 

 config setprop roundcube status enabled
 signal-event smeserver-roundcube-update

config setprop roundcube PublicAccess OPTION

where OPTION is either of the following: 

       none             => No access
       local            => Local network   (no password required)
       local-pw         => Local network   (password required)
       global           => Entire Internet (no password required, this is the default on SME)
       global-pw        => Entire Internet (password required)
       global-pw-remote => Entire Internet (password required outside local network)

For example, to restrict access to LAN only: 

config setprop roundcube PublicAccess local

To activate these changes to the configuration DB, run this command: 

systemctl restart httpd-e-smith

config setprop roundcube PublicAccess OPTION

where OPTION is either of the following: 

       none             => No access
       local            => Local network   (no password required)
       local-pw         => Local network   (password required)
       global           => Entire Internet (no password required, this is the default on SME)
       global-pw        => Entire Internet (password required)
       global-pw-remote => Entire Internet (password required outside local network)

For example, to restrict access to LAN only: 

config setprop roundcube PublicAccess local

To activate these changes to the configuration DB, run these commands: 

expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
sv h /service/httpd-e-smith

afterwards.



Note: for a general description of how DB settings work on SME server, have a look at Web Application RPM#New DB settings.

Roundcube plugins

Installing additional plugins
Important.png Note:
The upstream Roundcube project is currently transitioning from making plugins available through http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Plugin_Repository to a new full fledged plugin repository at http://plugins.roundcube.net and a semi-automated plugin installation process. SME server admins are encouraged to use the new style method described below.


To install an additional (non-default) Roundcube plugin in SME server roundcube :

Step 1: Find the plugin page on http://plugins.roundcube.net/packages (eg. http://plugins.roundcube.net/packages/cor/message_highlight)

Step 2: Take note of the package name and version shown in the 'require:' line right below the title of the plugin's version heading (eg. "cor/message_highlight": "dev-master")

Step 3: Add the package name and version to the "require:" block in /opt/roundcube/composer.json. Take attention to the comma (,) separator, it is really important! 

cd /usr/share/roundcubemail
/usr/bin/php74  /usr/local/bin/composer require cor/message_highlight --with-dependencies

nano /usr/share/roundcubemail/composer.json

 "require": {
      	"php": ">=5.3.0",
      	"roundcube/plugin-installer": ">=0.1.3",
      	"johndoh/markasjunk2": "dev-release-1.0",
      	"johndoh/contextmenu": "dev-master",
      	"johndoh/globaladdressbook": "dev-release-1.0",
        "cor/message_highlight": "dev-master"
    },

nano /opt/roundcube/composer.json

 "require": {
      	"php": ">=5.3.0",
      	"roundcube/plugin-installer": ">=0.1.3",
      	"johndoh/markasjunk2": "dev-release-1.0",
      	"johndoh/contextmenu": "dev-master",
      	"johndoh/globaladdressbook": "dev-release-1.0",
        "cor/message_highlight": "dev-master"
    },

Step 4: after each modification to composer.json, in order to automatically download and install the plugin launch 

rcplugin_update.sh

When asked, answer yes to automatically activate the plugin in the current Roundcube configuration.

Step 5: In order to keep the list of installed plugins persistent when this contrib is updated (ie. configuration templates are expanded again), you *absolutely* need to add the newly installed Roundcube plugin to the "PluginsList" property of "roundcube" in the configuration database of SME server in addition to steps above:

Step 5a: First show the list of plugins currently in the configuration DB: 

config getprop roundcube PluginsList

PluginsList=globaladdressbook,carddav,calendar,libcalendaring,contextmenu,markasjunk,vcard_attachments,newmail_notifier,emoticons,tasklist,managesieve

Step 5b: Add your newly installed plugin to the list (separated by a comma (,) and without spaces) and activate the change: 

config setprop roundcube PluginsList globaladdressbook,carddav,calendar,libcalendaring,contextmenu,markasjunk2,vcard_attachments,newmail_notifier,emoticons,tasklist,managesieve,message_highlight

Step 5c: Activate the changes to the config DB: 

signal-event roundcube-update

Step 5 in short, using backticks: 

config setprop roundcube PluginsList `config getprop roundcube PluginsList`,message_highlight
signal-event conf-roundcube

To check for updates to plugins already installed, you can at any time issue the following command again: 

rcplugin_update.sh

Miscellaneous notes

Mail filter support (Sieve)

Roundcube on SME server comes with the managesieve plugin installed and enabled by default (sieverules has been deprecated and you must only use managesieve). The managesieve plugin adds additional menu items to the settings in Roundcube's webinterface to allow users to define mail filters and vacation messages in a convenient way.

Troubleshooting
  • If mails are not correctly filtered by the filters configured in user's roundcube settings, check the following:
    • Is smeserver-dovecot-extras installed and is the sieve service enabled ( config getprop sieve status => enabled )? If it is not enabled: config setprop sieve status enabled
    • Is using sieve deliberately disabled for the user in question ( db accounts getprop $USER Sieve => disabled )? If it is disabled: db accounts setprop $USER Sieve enabled (Note the capital "S" in Sieve!)
    • If smeserver-mailsorting is also installed on the server, mails are first filtered by procmail or maildrop before they are handed off to the dovecot delivery agent and sieve filters. Chances are that a rule exists in a user's .procmailrc or .mailfilter file that intercepts all mails before they get to the latter stage in the mail delivery process.
