SOGo - Scaleable OpenGroupware.org

http://www.sogo.nu

SOGo is a groupware server built around OpenGroupware.org (OGo) and the SOPE application server. It focuses on scalability.

SOGo provides a rich AJAX-based Web interface and supports multiple native clients through the use of standard protocols such as CalDAV, CardDAV and GroupDAV.

Once configured, SOGo offers multiple ways to access the calendaring and messaging data. Your users can either use a web browser, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple iCal, or a mobile device to access the same information.

There is a separate Howto for installing the Funambol middleware that allows SyncML mobile device synchronisation with SOGo.

Requirements

SOGo requires SME 8 (Final release available since May 2012)

Install

Adding the repository to your SME Server 8:

db yum_repositories set nethsme repository \
     BaseURL http://smeserver.nethesis.it/releases/8/$basearch \
     EnableGroups yes \
     GPGCheck yes \
     GPGKey http://smeserver.nethesis.it/releases/RPM-GPG-KEY-nethesis \
     Name "SME Server - nethesis" \
     Visible yes \
     status disabled

db yum_repositories set sogo repository \
    BaseURL http://inverse.ca/downloads/SOGo/RHEL5/\$basearch \
    EnableGroups yes \
    GPGCheck no \
    Name "Inverse SOGo Repository" \
    Visible yes \
    status disabled

db yum_repositories set epel repository \
    Name 'Epel - EL5' \
    BaseUrl 'http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/$basearch' \
    MirrorList 'http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=$basearch' \
    EnableGroups no \
    GPGCheck yes \
    GPGKey http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL \
    Visible no \
    status disabled
signal-event yum-modify

Then you can install smeserver-sogo package

yum install smeserver-sogo --enablerepo=nethsme,sogo,epel
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

Upgrade

Upgrade to a later SOGo version (here: upgrade to 1.3 which was released on 21.7.2010)

yum update --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=sogo
/etc/rc7.d/S85sogod restart

Usage

To access webmail and calenders, open the url http://yourdomain.net/SOGo

If you disable webmail access from within SmeServer email panel, opening http://yourdomain.net/webmail you'll be redirected to SOGo.

Thunderbird Configuration

You are encouraged to use Thunderbird ESR (Extended Support Release) and corresponding compatible Lightning plugin. According to Mozilla Team "Thunderbird Extended Support Release (ESR) is intended for groups who deploy and maintain the desktop environment in large organizations such as universities and other schools, county or city governments and businesses". Furthermore the latest releases of Lightning plugin is fully SOGo compatibile, so no more need of a SOGo customized version.

1.) From a Windows client create the folder "SOGo-plugins\WINNT_x86-msvc" in your Primary ibay "html" folder (e.g. \\<SME server name>\Primary\hmtl\SOGo-plugins\WINNT_x86-msvc)

2.) Download the latest Lightning, Connector and Integrator plugins from [1] and place them in the "WINNT_x86-msvc" folder.

3.) Rename "sogo-integrator-<version>-sogo-demo.xpi" to "sogo-integrator-<version>-sogo.xpi". (This is optional)

4.) Open the "sogo-integrator-<version>-sogo.xpi" file with your favorite zip program (it is just a renamed zip file. 7-zip works nicely for this) and edit the file "\chrome\content\sogo-integrator\extensions.rdf".

Change the following lines:

       <Seq about="http://inverse.ca/sogo-integrator/extensions"
          isi:updateURL="http://sogo-demo.inverse.ca/plugins/updates.php?plugin=%ITEM_ID%&version=%ITEM_VERSION%&platform=%PLATFORM%">
          <li>
            <Description
              em:id="sogo-integrator@inverse.ca"
              em:name="SOGo Integrator"/>
          </li>
          <li>
            <Description
              em:id="sogo-connector@inverse.ca"
              em:name="SOGo Connector"/>
          </li>
        </Seq>

To read: (change the server address to your server and add the Lightning plugin to the extensions list): (Then save the "extensions.rdf" back to the same place in the "sogo-integrator-<version>-sogo.xpi" file and then save the .xpi file back on the server in the "\\<SME server name>\Primary\hmtl\SOGo-plugins\WINNT_x86-msvc" folder.)

       <Seq about="http://inverse.ca/sogo-integrator/extensions"
          isi:updateURL="https://<sme server name.domain>/SOGo-plugins/updates.php?plugin=%ITEM_ID%&version=%ITEM_VERSION%&platform=%PLATFORM%">
          <li>
            <Description
              em:id="sogo-integrator@inverse.ca"
              em:name="SOGo Integrator"/>
          </li>
          <li>
            <Description
              em:id="sogo-connector@inverse.ca"
              em:name="SOGo Connector"/>
          </li>
          <li>
	      <Description
		em:id="{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}"
		em:name="Lightning"/>
          </li>
        </Seq>

5.) Create the file "updates.php" in the "SOGo-plugins" folder

6.) Add the following lines to the file: (Please note you must customize the "version =>", "filename =>" and "<em:updateLink>http://<sme server name.domain>/SOGo-plugins/<?php echo $plugin["filename"] ?></em:updateLink>" in the lines below!)

(You will have to update this file everytime you update the plugins.)

7.) Install the Thunderbird ESR and configure it to use the SME IMAP email.

8.) Install the "sogo-integrator-<version>-sogo.xpi" plugin you modified, into Thunderbird and restart Thunderbird. Sogo will then go to the server and install the other plugins as configured in your "updates.php" file. As default the SOGo-Thunderbird components will associate Calendar and Addressbook to the Sme user/account corresponding to default Thunderbird Imap mail account; so take care to set the desired Imap account as default in Thunderbird before installing plugins.


Now you can create and share address books and calendars in Thunderbird with other SME users and control access rights to them. Your calendars and address books will also sync with the SOGO webmail page as well as any other computers where you have the SOGO Integrator plugin installed.

To configure other devices refer to website; look however at SOGo official up-to-date front-end software and documentation with latest upgrades for server, client and device configuration (http://www.sogo.nu/downloads/frontends.html - http://www.sogo.nu/downloads/documentation.html).

Installing SOGo on SME8 64 bit

Important.png Note:
No other customization from above sections need to be applied in addition to this section


Add the repository to your SME Server 8 modifying the SOGo repo to point to 64 x86_64:

db yum_repositories set sogo repository \
     BaseURL http://inverse.ca/downloads/SOGo/RHEL5/x86_64/ \
     EnableGroups yes \
     GPGCheck no \
     Name "Inverse SOGo Repository" \
     Visible yes \
     status disabled

db yum_repositories set nethsme repository \
     BaseURL http://smeserver.nethesis.it/releases/8/i386 \
     EnableGroups yes \
     GPGCheck yes \
     GPGKey http://smeserver.nethesis.it/releases/RPM-GPG-KEY-nethesis \
     Name "Nethesis SME Repository" \
     Visible yes \
     status disabled

db yum_repositories set epel repository \
     Name 'Epel - EL5' \
     BaseUrl 'http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/$basearch' \
     MirrorList 'http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=$basearch' \
     EnableGroups no \
     GPGCheck yes \
     GPGKey http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL \
     Visible no \
     status disabled
signal-event yum-modify

Then you can install smeserver-sogo package (apply memcached form epel before install):

yum install smeserver-sogo --enablerepo=nethsme,sogo,epel
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

Now you must change some path in /etc/httpd.conf. Proceed as follows: create this folder in /etc/templates-custom:

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/

and copy the SOGo templat efragment in customized template folder:

cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/85SOGoAccess /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/85SOGoAccess

then edit with your favourite editor the template to be customized and change /usr/lib/... paths in /usr/lib64/... so that the following lines in your template fragment appears modified as follows:

...............                        
Alias /.woa/WebServerResources/ /usr/lib64/GNUstep/SOGo/WebServerResources/
Alias /SOGo.woa/WebServerResources/ /usr/lib64/GNUstep/SOGo/WebServerResources/
Alias /SOGo/WebServerResources/ /usr/lib64/GNUstep/SOGo/WebServerResources/
AliasMatch /SOGo/so/ControlPanel/Products/(.*)/Resources/(.*) /usr/lib64/GNUstep/SOGo/$1.SOGo/Resources$2
...............                          
<Directory "/usr/lib64/GNUstep/SOGo/WebServerResources/">
...............

or you can enter the following command:

 grep -rl 'usr/lib' /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/85SOGoAccess  | xargs sed -i 's/lib/lib64/g'

Expand template and restart you SOGo

expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
sv t httpd-e-smith
service sogod start
