 Posted: Tue Jul 18, 2006 7:58 pm Post subject: HOWTO: Zimbra on Gentoo |
 |
|
From zimbra.com:
| Quote: | | Zimbra is an open source server and client technology for next-generation messaging and collaboration. Zimbra delivers innovation for both the administrator and the end-user as well as compatibility with existing infrastructure and applications (both open source and proprietary). |
Zimbra is a very slick AJAX-enabled webmail and calendaring application. Unfortunately, they don't provide build packages for gentoo. In order to get it working we'll install Zimbra in an Ubuntu chroot jail.
To setup the chroot we'll be using the debootstrap program which is capable of installing a working Debian or Ubuntu distribution. The instructions below assume x86 and the latest version of Ubuntu, Dapper Drake:
| Code: |
su
mkdir /Zimbra
echo "dev-util/debootstrap ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge debootstrap
debootstrap --arch i386 dapper /Zimbra http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
cp /etc/resolv.conf /Zimbra/etc
cp /etc/passwd /Zimbra/passwd
sed 's/\([^:]*\):[^:]*:/\1:*:/' /etc/shadow | sudo tee /Zimbra/etc/shadow
cp /etc/group /Zimbra/etc/
cp /etc/hosts /Zimbra/etc/
cp /etc/sudoers /Zimbra/etc/
chroot /Zimbra (ignore the error) |
Now that you are in the chroot, we'll bring it up to date:
| Code: |
apt-get update
apt-get install wget debconf devscripts gnupg cron libdb3 libpcre3
apt-get update
dpkg-reconfigure locales
tzconfig
groupadd shadow -g 42
useradd syslog |
Unfortunately, Zimbra requires an outdated version of libssl, which you'll need to fetch from http://packages.debian.org/stable/libs/libssl0.9.7. Then install it:
| Code: |
dpkg -i libssl[whatever].deb
|
Next, we'll exit the chroot and bind the needed filesystems from the host gentoo installation:
| Code: |
exit
mount --bind /sys /Zimbra/sys
mount --bind /dev /Zimbra/dev
mount --bind /dev/pts /Zimbra/dev/pts
mount --bind /dev/shm /Zimbra/dev/shm
|
Back into the chroot to setup logging and our hostname:
| Code: |
chroot /Zimbra
nano /etc/hostname
/etc/init.d/hostname.sh stop
/etc/init.d/hostname.sh start
/etc/init.d/sysklogd start
|
Zimbra requires that the hosts file be setup a little different than the gentoo default install, so you'll need to edit your /etc/hosts to have:
| Code: | | 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost |
Next fetch the coerce.tgz script from http://www.zimbra.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=173 and the debian zimbra package that you would like to install. Unpack the zimbra package and then unpack the coerce package into the zcs directory.
Then install Zimbra normally by running the coerce.sh script:
An init.d script for your gentoo system:
| Code: |
#!/sbin/runscript
depend() {
need net
after portmap
after iptables
after dnsmasq
}
start() {
chroot="/Zimbra"
bind_directories="proc dev dev/pts dev/shm sys"
for directory in $bind_directories ; do
mount --bind /$directory $chroot/$directory
done
echo "rm -rf /var/run/*.pid" | chroot $chroot
echo "/etc/init.d/cron start" | chroot $chroot
echo "/etc/init.d/sysklogd start" | chroot $chroot
echo 'su - zimbra -c "/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol start"' | chroot $chroot
}
stop() {
chroot="/Zimbra"
echo 'su - zimbra -c "/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol stop"' | chroot $chroot
echo "/etc/init.d/cron stop" | chroot $chroot
echo "/etc/init.d/sysklogd stop" | chroot $chroot
bind_directories="proc dev/pts dev/shm dev sys"
for directory in $bind_directories ; do
umount $chroot/$directory
done
}
|
Enjoy your new Zimbra installation!
Two documents assisted me greatly in getting this working:

before debootstrap you have to create a "dapper" script. simply
| Code: |
cp /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/breezy /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/dapper

barthi, you will see that error if you use debian as the chroot OS instead of Ubuntu.
I had the exact same symptom using sarge and etch - moving to the documented Ubuntu release (and the debian Zimbra packages) worked for me. |

I also got the ldap error with the debian chroot.
I ran "apt-get install sed" and that fixed it. |

Make it like this:
10.0.0.200 serwer.homenetwork serwer
127.0.0.1 serwer.homenetwork serwer localhost
Always the FQDN first, then alises (alii? )

You've mentioned this in two different threads now.
Some info about the overlay would be nice, a link , the config info, or the name if it is in the default gentoo layman config

Same issue here.
| Code: |
# debootstrap --arch i386 dapper /Zimbra http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
blah blah blah
W: Failure trying to run: chroot /Zimbra mount -t proc proc /proc
# $?
bash: 1: command not found

For whatever reason the chroot jail isn't getting the mount command. Hmm....
Update:
Same issue when I tried with Debian Etch
| Code: |
#debootstrap etch /Zimbra http://ftp.debian.org/debian
......
W: Failure trying to run: chroot /Zimbra mount -t proc proc /proc
|
I'm thinking it has something to do with this Gentoo version because it worked fine step by step on another server with a different Gentoo install a couple months back.
grrr.... |

Hi !
I followed the howto and got everything installed without errors on my Gentoo 2007.0 box + debian chroot jail for Zimbra (Zimbra 4.5.5).
I might be dumb but what's next ?
How do I access the webui of my server running in its chrooted environnment ?
Do I have to create a vhost ?
I don't know what to do, please, does anyone can help ?
Thanks |

Just access it via web. it starts a webserver so you can point your browser to it
btw I had to symlink libcrypto and libssl from 0.9.8 to 0.9.7 but the packages don't seem to break, so weird case
