Hi,

any news on that?
As far as I can see there are already over 4400 packages available in EPEL.

thx

Regards,

It’s Chinese New Year here, national holiday, I have to postpone the CentOS 8 support for 2 weeks. Sorry about this.

Dear all,

Currently we miss 2 required packages in CentOS 8.1, and i need your help to make it happen.

• php-imap

• postfix-pcre. Used by Postfix for PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) support, you can verify it with command "postconf -m". iRedMail uses several PCRE lookup tables. According to RedHat 8 document, postfix-pcre is available, but it doesn't. There's also a bug report in RedHat buzilla, also user report in CentOS forum.

• uwsgi (and all its sub-packages like uwsgi-plugin-python2, uwsgi-logger-syslog). uwsgi is a WSGI server, used to run mlmmjadmin, iRedAdmin(-Pro). Latest Fedora release has uwsgi packages, there's bug report in Red Hat bugzilla (reported few months ago). I sent email to uwsgi (EPEL) package maintainer about 1 month ago, no reply yet. If there's other (Python) WSGI server like "gunicorn" available, we can adopt to gunicorn too, but neither exists.

I need your help to contact package maintainers to help submit the packages. They all were present in RedHat/CentOS official repo of EPEL for RedHat/CentOS 7, it should not be hard to build it on 8.

There were more missed while CentOS 8 was released, e.g. dovecot-pigeonhole (sieve server), postfix-ldap, but they are available now.

Sure we can do it this way, but better install a RPM from CentOS repo and get update with 'yum update'.

CentOS 8 support is done in iRedMail Easy platform, but still need some time to test it.
Downloadable iRedMail installer will catch up later.

iRedMail Easy will support CentOS 8 first, then the downloadable installer.

Dear all,

CentOS 8 support is now available in the latest development edition, you can download from GitHub for testing. All 3 backends are supported: MariaDB, PostgreSQL, OpenLDAP.

Note: it may be still buggy, don’t try it on production yet.

Give the repo a star please, send me cup of coffee too.

I did some tests, but at this moment SOGo still do not support CentOS 8, so calendar is missing.

Zhang did a great job, but I think even him can't do anything until all the pieces of the puzzle are on the table..

Hello,

Yea, I'm facing the same issue.

After installation php, uwsgi and web.py should be installed manually:

# yum install php
# pip2 install web.py==0.40
# pip2 install uwsgi
# reboot

Little update.
Also need to manual:
pip2 install mysqlclient (for iRedAPD connetction to db because of connection errors in log "Missing MySQLdb module")

On Centos 8 after installation through the bash I get:

Package crontabs-1.11-16.20150630git.el8.noarch is already installed.
Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides perl(Digest::SHA1) needed by amavisd-new-2.12.0-1.el8.noarch
  - nothing provides perl(IO::Stringy) needed by amavisd-new-2.12.0-1.el8.noarch
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
<< ERROR >> Installation failed, please check the terminal output.
<< ERROR >> If you're not sure what the problem is, try to get help in iRedMail
<< ERROR >> forum: https://forum.iredmail.org/

I would be able to install perl through the Epel repository, at least a yum install perl lists it.

After I added:
yum config-manager --enable PowerTools

the bash ran through

However it seems as if the firewall rules to allow acces did not get implemented. Searching for those right now.
