Sme11BuildQueue
This page lists all the packages that SME Server needs to build for SME 11. The starting point is the smeos directory from SME 10. For each package it should be checked if it is still needed, or can we use an upstream package if one is available. see bug https://bugs.koozali.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12424
Package Build Steps
things have changed between SME10 and SME11. we moved from cvs to git. We also need to change the name of a few old e-smith rpm to smeserver for better consistency, but without forgetting from where we are coming. git is available here : https://src.koozali.org
TODO; write how to checkout and start a build
TODO ; reference on how to configure a build environement.
Required dependencies
created from the work on SME10, and updated.
you can use http://pkgs.org to fill the blank, reference where the rpm can be found (EPEL8,ROCKY8,REMI8,OPENFUSION8,RPMFUSION8,smedev,smetest) and the status (Build OK, NEED COPY,NOTABUG,WONTFIX,FIXED).
fill bug before building a new package : https://bugs.contribs.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=SME%20Server%2011.X&component=build

RPM's from smeos directory
before attempting to buidl check if they are available and put them rather in the table above with source to copy from, with at least the version number we had on SME10.
if you need to build check if a newer version is available. Sometime we might need to stick to an old version so document here when uping version in reference.

Bare install test
install minimal iso for rocky 8 https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.9-x86_64-minimal.iso
configure network access during installation with option to restore. Configure only root user.
install EPEL8 repo.
dnf install epel-release
install remi 8 repos
dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm
update, and install those package, as the might get handy (nb iptraf is now iptraf-ng)
dnf update -y dnf install mc htop iftop iptraf screen wget vim
- disable SELinux
SELinux is enabled by default. We want to disable it for there are a few services (e.g. httpd) that get blocked by SELinux. To check the status of SELinux you can enter the command:
getenforce
SELinux uses policies that conflict with some of the SME Server services ports like https. One can adjust the allowed ports, or remove the SELinux policies and disable SELinux by the following commands:
setenforce 0 sed -i -e 's/SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=disabled/g' /etc/selinux/config dnf remove selinux-policy-targeted
- SSH
SSH is present and is enabled by default at this stage. To check issue:
systemctl status sshd
You may have a slow login to ssh, if needed :
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
You have to restart the ssh service , You might also want to wget your public keys in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
systemctl restart sshd
update packages
dnf update
install SME11 repo
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/smeserver11.repo
and paste

install SME10 key
wget http://mirror.koozali.org/releases/10/smeos/x86_64/RPM-GPG-KEY-koozali rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-koozali
install openfusion 8
dnf install http://repo.openfusion.net/centos8-x86_64/openfusion-release-0.8-2.of.el8.noarch.rpm
then
dnf --enablerepo=* clean all
try installing SME11 packages, you might need to enable some repo using --enablerepo=smedev,epel,elrepo ... e.g.
dnf module disable php:remi-8.2 -y dnf module enable php:remi-8.1 -y dnf module enable mariadb:10.5 -y dnf module enable python36:3.6 -y dnf module install php:remi-8.1 dnf install smeserver-* --enablerepo=koji-sme11,epel,remi,remi-safe,of --exclude=smeserver-mariadb*
a temp fix before smeserver-base-11.0.0-4.el8.sme
dnf install network-scripts rsyslog
et voilà, you have a non functional SME 11 over Rocky 8 minimal.
## this needs safer to be done directly on tty, not via ssh:
latter it will be good to also deactivate networkManager, to leave network service doing the job, but you also need to configure e-smith db for the server first.
systemctl stop NetworkManager systemctl disable NetworkManager systemctl stop NetworkManager-wait-online.service systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service systemctl start networking
then you could try, (you might have no network form there), unlink this to avoid root password locking
unlink /etc/e-smith/events/post-install/S10init-passwords signal-event post-install
if you want to avoid the reboot and configure loop for the moment you can do
passwd admin /usr/bin/systemctl restart rsyslog /sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop admin PasswordSet yes /sbin/e-smith/db configuration set PasswordSet yes /sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop bootstrap-console Restore disabled
then try to configure using console
console
then to be sure to get sshd back
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop sshd status enabled PermitRootLogin yes access public # add PasswordAuthentication yes to enable password login /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/ssh/ssh_config /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/ssh/sshd_config /usr/bin/systemctl restart sshd.service /sbin/e-smith/signal-event remoteaccess-update
then you can
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event-reboot;
or maybe
signal-event bootstrap-console-save; signal-event-reboot
## end of the part better on tty than on sshd
you can also tidy a little
dnf remove NetworkManager* --noautoremove
you might need to disable sme* repos from there as they are still yet to be created on mirrors. so to help you follow updates you should do
vim /etc/yum.smerepos.d/koji.repo
and paste:
[koji-sme11-os] enabled=1 name=sme11-os baseurl=http://koji.koozali.org/kojifiles/repos/dist-sme11-os/latest/x86_64/ gpgcheck=0 enablegroups=1 [koji-sme11-test] enabled=1 name=sme11-test baseurl=http://koji.koozali.org/kojifiles/repos/dist-sme11-test/latest/x86_64/ gpgcheck=0 enablegroups=1 [koji-sme11-contribs-test] enabled=1 name=smecontribs11-test baseurl=http://koji.koozali.org/kojifiles/repos/dist-sme11-contribs-build/latest/x86_64/ gpgcheck=0 enablegroups=1
from there if you are lucky something went up and you can try to test , report as bug or event create a patch
Notes
we will have horde 6 in remi Horde 6 requires PHP 8.1 or PHP 8.2 versions. Support for PHP 8.3 is in development. https://wiki.horde.org/Doc/Dev/H6/Installation/PHP?referrer=Doc%2FDev%2FH6%2FInstallation
Horde 6 has been tested with MariaDB 10.8 and MariaDB 10.9 - any MariaDB of the 10.x series should work.
* ensure mariadb uses "innodb" as its default engine
* ensure the PHP server can reach the database hostname and port
* use utf8mb4 as default charset.
* create a database schema. This documentation assumes the db name is "horde"
