| − | ===Current Release===
| + | <center> |
| − | The current stable release is SME Server '''Release 8.1''' (based on CentOS 5.10), see the Updates section below for details of incremental updates available with yum. Our prior stable release was SME Server Release 8.0.
| + | {{Currentreleases}} |
| − | {{Warning box|See note below [[SME Server:Download#iso| burning]] of smeserver ISO and suitable media for burning}} | + | </center> |
| | | | |
| | + | ===Supported version=== |
| | + | SME Server http://mirror.pialasse.com/releases/10/iso/ |
| | | | |
| − | ===Download Locations=== | + | ===NetInstall=== |
| − | SME Server (and many add-ons) can be downloaded from one of our download locations. These download locations (Mirrors) have generously been provided by our mirror partners. Additional information on how to become a mirror partner and the status of current mirrors is available [[Mirrors| '''here''']].
| + | When installing the netinstall ISO, you will be asked some basic questions (check the media, languages, keyboard layout etc.), followed by the question for the location of installation files. The options are CD/DVD, Hard drive, NFS or URL |
| | | | |
| − | '''A BIG thanks to all of our sponsors for the mirrors.'''
| + | When you select the URL option the required URL is provided as a mirrorlist. A mirrorlist of smeupdates is also provided so you do not have to do updates right after install. |
| | | | |
| − | For a full list of our download mirrors see our [http://mirror.contribs.org/mirrors/ '''download locations''']
| + | Next step will be to select the packages to install, i.e. minimal environment to get a fully functional SME 10. Failure to do this step, will leave you with a CentOS 7 minimal. |
| | | | |
| | + | Unless you know what you are doing do not enter in the partitioning tool, doing so will erase SME preconfigured partitions, and using the auto partitioning option in this tool will give you CentOS default, in other word full use of all disks with LVM without any raid. |
| | | | |
| − | ===ISO===
| + | Final step will be to start installation. |
| − | Procedure to download an ISO: Select the [http://mirror.contribs.org/mirrors closest mirror], the version of SME Server you want, then the iso directory and finally the i386 or the x86_64 directory. Note that in each repo, there are two ISO images. One is named according to the released version (e.g. smeserver-8.1-i386.iso), the other does not provide version information (e.g. smeserver-i386.iso). The non version ISO is the actual file and facilitates rsync updates for the mirrors. The versioned ISO is actually a symlink to the non-versioned ISO so people know what version they are downloading. Both will download the same binary data to your computer.
| |
| | | | |
| − | {{tip box|Due to the growth of a number of included packages, '''the size of the smeserver ISO has now outgrown the size of CD-ROM media'''. '''A DVD-ROM is now the prefered sized medium''' or use a '''[[Install_From_USB| Usb Key]]'''. (N.B. Technically, you can still burn the smeserver 64 bit ISO to a CD-ROM provided the CD creation software is capable of writing more than the official disk capacity, over burn feature, but not the 32-bit version. Therefore, it is now strongly recommended to use a DVD-ROM or USB Key for both versions.)}}<br />
| + | If you have special needs, or need to fully automatized the installer, you can create your own kickstart script and use it when loading the iso. |

| − | ===Zsync===
| |
| − | When updates become available you will be able to update a previous version of an iso using zsync, run the command from the same directory as your existing iso. zsync uses a control file to determine whether any blocks in the file are already known to the downloader, and only downloads the new blocks. If you don't have a previous iso zsync is still a good option, it will recover an interrupted download.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To install ZSync you need to ensure you have the Dag repositories enabled. See here: [http://wiki.contribs.org/Dag Dag], then issue the following commands:
| |
| − | | |
| − | yum install zsync --enablerepo=dag
| |
| − | Reboot not required
| |
| − | cp smeserver-8.1-i386.iso smeserver-8.1.1-i386.iso [if you have a previous .iso]
| |
| − | zsync http://smeserver.bhs.mirrors.ovh.net/smeserver/releases/8.1/iso/i386/smeserver-8.1-i386.iso.zsync
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Updates===
| |
| − | Upgrading to 8.x from 7.x - Upgrades from unmodified versions of SME 7.x to SME 8 is supported. If you have modified your server by installing contribs or have used any unsupported 'upgrade' scripts, you may have issues and should consider removing any incompatible contribs before upgrading.
