f you strictly follow the instructions:

README.md

main

# ns8-sogo

This module intends to istall the SOGo groupware : https://www.sogo.nu/

## Install

Instantiate the module with:

    add-module ghcr.io/nethserver/sogo:latest 1

The output of the command will return the instance name.
Output example:

    {"module_id": "sogo1", "image_name": "sogo", "image_url": "ghcr.io/nethserver/sogo:latest"}

## Get the configuration
You can retrieve the configuration with

api-cli run get-configuration --agent module/sogo1

theming doesn’t work.

Instead, SOGo ends up in a restart loop.

The error is here:

The files for the theme custom_theme.js and the logo logo-full.svg to customize the SOGo instance sogo1 need to be located in /home/sogo1/.config/state and owned by user sogo1.

or here:

volume %S/state/sogo-full.svg:/usr/lib/GNUstep/SOGo/WebServerResources/img/sogo-full.svg:Z ${SOGO_SERVER_IMAGE}

At the beginning, it mentions “logo-full.svg”, but later it refers to “sogo-full.svg” is referenced - which is why it doesn’t work.

By adjusting the filename or the corresponding entry, the problem is solved, and SOGo theming works.

Even though this typo caused me a bit of stress, thank you very much for the good instructions!!!

Regards, Yummiweb

I’m going to fix it tomorrow…
It’s logo instead of sogo.

I’ve customized my logo which I like to share with the community
You can download it via this link : LINK

If you follow the instructions for customizing you can place this logo in
/home/sogo1/.config/state/sogo-full.svg

Maybe it can be made as default
