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, but it run very fast and stable.

 +
===Limit access to web interface===
 +
{{Note box|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:
 +
<tabs container=""><tab name="For SME 10 smeserver-roundcube-1.2-20 and newer">
 +
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
  
====Activate Roundcube Plugin====
+
To disable roundcube
Plugins need to be allowed in the main.config.php of roundcube, you can also write  options in this file. If you want to modify options you have to modify the template in /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php/20plugin<br />
+
  config setprop roundcube status disabled
 +
  signal-event smeserver-roundcube-update
 +
To enable roundcube
 +
  config setprop roundcube status enabled
 +
  signal-event smeserver-roundcube-update
  
Please add all plugins you want to activate in the command line below :
+
</tab><tab name="For SME 10 before 1.2-20">
$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('plugin1','plugin2','plugin3');
+
config setprop roundcube PublicAccess OPTION
where "plugin*" is a valid name of plugin and a valid folder name in /opt/roundcube/plugins
 
  
see the file 20plugin for example
+
where OPTION is either of the following:
  
nano /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php/20plugin
+
        none            => No access
save by ctrl+x
+
        local            => Local network  (no password required)
expand-template /opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php
+
        local-pw        => Local network  (password required)
 
+
        global          => Entire Internet (no password required, this is the default on SME)
====Your personal settings====
+
        global-pw        => Entire Internet (password required)
 
+
        global-pw-remote => Entire Internet (password required outside local network)
For special needs you should create your personal template file if you want your config file will not be overwritten by the smeserver-roundcube templates.
 
 
 
For example do
 
nano /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php/21plugin-personal
 
 
 
with all your special options you want and perform this CL to expand templates
 
expand-template /opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php
 
  
You can read the file below to know further options you can activate
+
For example, to restrict access to LAN only:
less /opt/roundcube/config/main.inc.php.dist
 
  
All plugins in /opt/roundcube/plugins/ comes with their own config.inc.php.dist which you can use to set default options.
+
config setprop roundcube PublicAccess local
  
 
+
To activate these changes to the configuration DB, run this command:
====Limit access to roundcube====
+
systemctl restart httpd-e-smith
 +
</tab><tab name="For SME 8, 9">
 
  config setprop roundcube PublicAccess OPTION
 
  config setprop roundcube PublicAccess OPTION
  
OPTION is either of the following.
+
where OPTION is either of the following:
  
 
         none            => No access
 
         none            => No access
         local            => Local network (no password required)
+
         local            => Local network   (no password required)
         local-pw        => Local network (password required)
+
         local-pw        => Local network   (password required)
         global          => Entire Internet(no password required)

         global-pw        => Entire Internet(password required)
+
         global-pw        => Entire Internet (password required)
         global-pw-remote => Entire Internet(password required outside local network)
+
         global-pw-remote => Entire Internet (password required outside local network)
  
{{Note box|the global option is already the default option to control access to this contribs}}
+
For example, to restrict access to LAN only:
  
  config setprop roundcube PublicAccess global
+
  config setprop roundcube PublicAccess local
  
To enable your changes run these commands
+
To activate these changes to the configuration DB, run these commands:
  
 
  expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
 
  expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
 
  sv h /service/httpd-e-smith

====Roundcube plugins====

+
=====Installing additional plugins=====
sv h /service/httpd-e-smith
+
{{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. }}
  
=== Local Settings ===
+
To install an additional (non-default) Roundcube plugin in SME server roundcube :
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
+
'''Step 1:''' Find the plugin page on http://plugins.roundcube.net/packages (eg. http://plugins.roundcube.net/packages/cor/message_highlight)
  
=== Bugs ===
+
'''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")
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}}.
 
  
 +
'''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!
 +

    },
 
 
===Installation===
 
====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 conf-roundcube; signal-event console-save
 
or
 
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
 
 
 
====For SME9====
 
Remember to first configure the required [[stephdl]] repository, then issue the following command on the SME Server shell:
 
 
 
yum install smeserver-roundcube --enablerepo=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 conf-roundcube; signal-event console-save
 
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.
 
  
=== Options ===
+
</tab><tab name="For SME 8">
You can fine tune access to roundcube with DB settings. For details have a look at [[Web Application RPM#New DB settings]].
+
  nano /opt/roundcube/composer.json
 
 
====Activate Roundcube Plugins====
 
the major change is the roundcube plugin repository, however there are not too much available now, but with time there will be more.
 
 
 
if you need more plugins, you can see http://plugins.roundcube.net/packages/ and you have to add the package name in composer.json. Take attention to the coma (,) it is really important.
 
 
 
  # nano /opt/roundcube/composer.json
 
  
 
   "require": {
 
   "require": {
Line 193: Line 309:
 
       "johndoh/contextmenu": "dev-master",
 
       "johndoh/contextmenu": "dev-master",
 
       "johndoh/globaladdressbook": "dev-release-1.0",
 
       "johndoh/globaladdressbook": "dev-release-1.0",
      "johndoh/copymessage": "dev-release-1.0"
+
        "cor/message_highlight": "dev-master"
 
     },
 
     },
after each modification launch  
+
</tab></tabs>
 +
 
 +
'''Step 4:''' after each modification to composer.json, in order to automatically download and install the plugin launch  
 
  rcplugin_update.sh
 
  rcplugin_update.sh
  
Answer yes or not to the question. Once done, if you want to activate plugin, you need to use the db command (need to be activated only one time)
+
When asked, answer yes to automatically activate the plugin in the current Roundcube configuration.
Add them to  the db command (Here are the plugins that come by default with the program)
 
  
    PluginsList=globaladdressbook,carddav,calendar,libcalendaring,contextmenu,markasjunk2,vcard_attachments,newmail_notifier,emoticons,tasklist
+
'''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:
in order to modify, you must add your plugin list with coma
 
config setprop roundcube PluginsList globaladdressbook,carddav,calendar,libcalendaring,contextmenu,markasjunk2,vcard_attachments,newmail_notifier,emoticons,tasklist,copymessage
 
signal-event conf-roundcube
 
  
Now when you want to update your plugin list, you can issue simply
+
'''Step 5a:''' First show the list of plugins currently in the configuration DB:
  rcplugin_update.sh
 
  
==== Local Settings ====
+
config getprop roundcube PluginsList
The config file is now templated, so changes need to be made in a new fragment
+
   
  # ll /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/roundcube/config/config.inc.php/
+
  ''PluginsList=globaladdressbook,carddav,calendar,libcalendaring,contextmenu,markasjunk,vcard_attachments,newmail_notifier,emoticons,tasklist,managesieve''
  10default_host          15Ldap_addressbook      20plugins_configuration  template-begin          template-end           
 
  
check which setting you want to change with
+
'''Step 5b:''' Add your newly installed plugin to the list (separated by a comma (,) and without spaces) and activate the change:
cat /opt/roundcube/config/config.inc.php.sample
 
then add the new setting in the new fragment and expand, it will overrule the old
 
expand-template /opt/roundcube/config/config.inc.php
 
  
If you think your setting should be the SME default raise a bug
+
  config setprop roundcube PluginsList globaladdressbook,carddav,calendar,libcalendaring,contextmenu,markasjunk2,vcard_attachments,newmail_notifier,emoticons,tasklist,managesieve,message_highlight
====Limit access to roundcube====
 
  config setprop roundcube PublicAccess OPTION
 
  
OPTION is either of the following.
+
'''Step 5c:''' Activate the changes to the config DB:
 +
signal-event roundcube-update
  
        none            => No access
+
Step 5 in short, using backticks:
        local            => Local network  (no password required)
 
        local-pw        => Local network  (password required)
 
        global          => Entire Internet(no password required)
 
        global-pw        => Entire Internet(password required)
 
        global-pw-remote => Entire Internet(password required outside local network)
 
  
{{Note box|the global option is already the default option to control access to this contribs}}
+
config setprop roundcube PluginsList `config getprop roundcube PluginsList`,message_highlight
 +
signal-event conf-roundcube
  
  config setprop roundcube PublicAccess global
+
To check for updates to plugins already installed, you can at any time issue the following command again:
 +
  rcplugin_update.sh
  
To enable your changes run these commands
+
====Miscellaneous notes====
  
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
+
====Mail filter support (Sieve)====
sv h /service/httpd-e-smith
+
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.  
====Add a different URL====
 
by example
 
http://yourserver.net/webmail
 
or
 
http://yourserver.net/mail
 
  
{{warning box|This URL of '''/webmail''' is used by the horde webmail, so you have to deactivated the webmail in the server-manager}}
+
=====Troubleshooting=====
 +
* If mails are not correctly filtered by the filters configured in user's roundcube settings, check the following:
 +
** 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.

Installation

yum install smeserver-extrarepositories-remi-roundcube -y
we now only support version 1.6.x
yum install smeserver-roundcube   --enablerepo=smecontribs,remi-roundcube
if you previously locked to version 1.5, to revert versionlock
  yum versionlock delete roundcubemail
  yum update -y

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.


  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

  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
  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.
