How can i update an existing Sogo installation ?

Install the ghcr.io/nethserver/sogo:2.0.3.dev-1 image.
add-module ghcr.io/nethserver/sogo:2.0.3.dev-1

Add an extra module and not updates the existing

stephdl · November 13, 2024, 6:04pm

api-cli run update-module --data '{"module_url":"ghcr.io/nethserver/mymodule:latest","instances":["mymodule1"],"force":true}'

stephdl · November 13, 2024, 6:05pm

please ask for any questions

MadPatrick · November 13, 2024, 6:17pm

I just found it and did the following

api-cli run update-module --data '{"module_url":"ghcr.io/nethserver/sogo:2.0.3-dev.1","instances":["sogo1"],"force":true}'

Only i see no “Go to Web Application” button

SOGo: Template Layers for Custom Configuration

I’ve tested the local configuration and it works

In sogo.conf.local i added the following line:

SOGoUIAdditionalJSFiles = (js/custom_theme.js);

Made a file custom_theme.js with a different theme and placed in the docker directories
After restart i had the different theme

The next question is where to placed this files because I imaging it will be overwritten by an update or so
Can i place this in the templates directory ? and which path must i use ?

stephdl · November 13, 2024, 6:50pm

Yep sorry it is ‘open sogo’

Does it work ?

MadPatrick · November 13, 2024, 6:55pm

Yes. The link works

MadPatrick · November 13, 2024, 7:01pm

Theme looks great Better then green

stephdl · November 13, 2024, 7:29pm

What is the path of the folder where you want to store your js/css trick

MadPatrick · November 13, 2024, 7:33pm

I prefer the template dir

Now i copied into
/home/sogo1/.local/share/containers/storage/vfs/dir/661b62c19e8c22ab77cedae46b49293ec276badc67dd352773c5c48e776c3559/usr/lib/GNUstep/SOGo/WebServerResources/js/theme.js

But that is overwritten by an update and the path changes

Something like this
SOGoUIAdditionalJSFiles = (templates/custom_theme.js);
same dir as the .conf.local files now

But if you have another solutution i fine with it
Or maybe a map that copies the files over the docker after a restart or update

stephdl · November 13, 2024, 7:36pm

Search inside the container what is the path

runagent -m sogo1
podman exec -ti sogo-app bash
find / -iname theme.js

stephdl · November 13, 2024, 7:38pm

Maybe out of the topic but the admin of sogo can change the css of sogo, by default it is administrator then you have in the upper right menu an icon to modify the css

IIRC

MadPatrick · November 13, 2024, 7:40pm

/usr/lib/GNUstep/SOGo/WebServerResources/js/theme.js

But this is not working
SOGoUIAdditionalJSFiles = (/usr/lib/GNUstep/SOGo/WebServerResources/js/custom_theme.js);

MadPatrick · November 13, 2024, 7:44pm

I have seen that, but can not change the css
Only view

stephdl · November 14, 2024, 7:26am

in that case you need to mount a file to your container

inside the sogo-app systemd service add

--volume %S/state/custom_theme.js:/usr/lib/GNUstep/SOGo/WebServerResources/js/custom_theme.js:Z
custom_theme.js must be in the state of the user /home/sogo1/.config/state

few chances that we add it to everybody

then if you want to be persistent to updates, create a custom systemd service

systemctl --user edit sogo-app

MadPatrick · November 16, 2024, 6:37pm

Thanks.
I’ll try it out

I also see cron.conf in the templates for sogo-backup.sh

Is this acutally running ? and where is the backup placed ?

MadPatrick · November 17, 2024, 5:44pm

Thanks

Sorry for asing, but i’m a nono on docker

Is this cronjob running ? or how can i start it

I did the following

runagent -m sogo1
podman exec -ti sogo-app bash
cd /usr/lib/sogo/scripts/
sh sogo-backup.sh

There is a backup created in /etc/sogo/backups
Only the size is the backup is very small.

stephdl · November 17, 2024, 6:21pm

IIRC it is only the backups of the mysql data of the users, for example the
addressbook, the calendar
