Storing files in Kolab does not work

Hello,

yesterday I needed the functionality of storing files in +Kolab.

I found out that this does not work on my installation.


This is a known bug in cyrus.

https://bugzilla.cyrusimap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3754


Raspbian does not have an updated package :-( so I started the compile issue again but now for a raspbian package.

To do the changes I downloaded the package cyrus-imapd and tried to compile like I did for all the +Kolab packages. But that didn't fix the error because I had to modify imap/message.c.

Ok, googling showed me that I have to use the right method with quilt.

So here are the instructions

apt-get -y source cyrus-imapd
apt-get -y build-dep cyrus-imapd
cd cyrus-imapd-2.4-2.4.16
quilt push -a
quilt new failed_asserting_during_append
quilt add imap/message.c

Edit the file imap/message.c. In line 389 add the line:

message_guid_generate(&(*body)->guid, msg.base, msg.len);

And continue with the following commands

quilt refresh
debuild -us -uc -b

and now go for coffee break :-)

After less than 2 hours you can install the new package.

cd ..
dpkg -i cyrus-imapd-2.4_2.4.16-4+deb7u1_all.deb 

To get the indexes working on the existing files you have to reconstruct the mailboxes with the following command:

cyrreconstruct -C /etc/imapd.conf -fr 'user/name/Files@domain'

You can also mount the files in Windows. For me only the command line is working. So click on Start->run (or press Windows-R) and enter the following command:

net use x: https://example.com/iRony/files/ YourPasswordGoesHere /user:primary.email@example.com

The impatient people can you use my prebuild package on my APT-Repo

NGINX

Hello,

I create a new page with my nginx config to cover all changes and mods which I've done on my Raspberry Pi.

The instructions are based on http://kolab.org/blog/grote/2013/07/08/using-kolab-3-nginx and https://docs.kolab.org/howtos/nginx-webserver.html.


So feel free to leave any comments and to get your Kolab running on your Pi with a bit more performance.

More tuning tips are welcome. :-)

XMPP now integrated in Kolab and working :-)

Now I got it.

I'm using converse.js.

Following the instructions on http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.kolab.devel/12092  I got it.

Well, not only following the instructions but also to setup some more things:

First of all the config from the plugin. The main parts are

$config['converse_xmpp_bosh_prebind_url']= function($args) {
        return 'http://127.0.0.1:5280/http-bind';
};
$config['converse_xmpp_bosh_url']= function($args) {
        return '/http-bind';
};
$config['converse_xmpp_hostname']= function($args) {
        list($user,$host) = explode('@', $args['user']);
        return $host;
};
$config['converse_xmpp_username']= function($args) {
        list($user,$host) = explode('@', $args['user']);
        return $user;
};

Please check the variable name. It is in the config.inc.php from the plugin by default $rcmail_config, but the roundcubemail from kolab sources/binaries uses $config, so please change it :-)

To have the BOSH-Url available in roundcubemail, you have to redirect domain/http-bind to server:5280/htt-bind. My nginx config looks like this:

location /http-bind {
            proxy_pass  http://localhost:5280/http-bind;
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
            proxy_buffering off;
            tcp_nodelay on;
        }

And now the ejabberd.cfg. When you install ejabberd and connect it to kolab-ldap, binding also seems to work (domain:5280/http-bind) but it doesn't. You need explicitly to activate it in the "modules"-section!

I forgot this and struggled around nearly 4 hours to find the error.

So the changes in modules section are

  {mod_shared_roster,[
                {'ldap_base', 'ou=People,dc=example,dc=com'},
                {'ldap_rfilter', '(objectClass=kolabinetorgperson)'},
                {'ldap_memberattr', 'uid'},
                {'ldap_userdesc', 'cn'},
                {'ldap_filter', '(objectClass=kolabinetorgperson)'},
                {'ldap_useruid', 'uid'}
        ]},
  {mod_http_bind,[]}

XMPP now working

Hi,


my eJabberd server is now up and running and I can receive messages and send messages.

My next step is to setup the chat functionality in roundcubemail so you can send messages through a Jabber client or roundcubemail. :-)

I had to find the correct settings for my domain and the client to get it to work. So it's necessary to have proper DNS records for your domain and the services jabber is running on.

You must have a A/CNAME record for your domain (no wildcard, -> "nslookup domain.com" should work) and 3 SRV records for your domain where you setup your jabber server where all the clients and servers have to connect to.

Also you should use SASL for authentication purpose.

I prefer to have my domain as the jabber ID and not a subdomain.
