Switch base distribution to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus #758

Closed almereyda closed 6 years ago

almereyda commented 8 years ago

The preflight issues a hard check for the used Ubuntu distribution.

With 16.04 arriving within a month and already having a beta.

Are there plans to start a new branch xx for Xenial Xerus to prepare for the upcoming migrations?

Häppy Hacking!

madera17 commented 6 years ago

@jirislav Thank you for the info. Unfortunately when attempting to upgrade 'git checkout v0.24-ubuntu16' after running 'setup/start.sh' it ends as described by @bavicj with the last line -

Installing solr version 6.6.0`

Setup appears not to complete.

jirislav commented 6 years ago

@madera17 Oh, I'm sorry for that inconvenience with the Solr :(

I plan to move the NextAnt + Solr upgrades to a separate module, which you will have the possibility to choose whether you want to install it or not, so that the main installation routine setup/start.sh stays focused on preparing clean mailserver solution.

Memphizzz commented 6 years ago

@jirislav would you be able to replicate these changes on a 18.04 installation a few months from now? If so, wouldn't this be a good point to have MIAB switch to 18.04 as @JoshData suggested almost 2 years ago?

jirislav commented 6 years ago

@Memphizzz I actually think it is already compatible with 18.04 :) .. I just have to try it out & fix problems that appear

Memphizzz commented 6 years ago

@jirislav Sounds good but keep in mind, 18.04 ain't released yet. The feature freeze didn't happen yet, so stuff might still change until the first of March.

ppKrauss commented 6 years ago

About install with Ubuntu 16 LTS 64-bit, some news? Can I use in it? ... Another option is to use a minimal hardware (ex. DigitalOcean droplet of 512Mb RAM 20 Gb HD and 1vCPU) with Ubuntu 14... There are some "minimal configuration" tips here? (no at README or site).

ilyaevseev commented 6 years ago

Really???

Mail-in-a-Box only supports being installed on Ubuntu 14.04, sorry. You are running:

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

We can't write scripts that run on every possible setup, sorry.
jirislav commented 6 years ago

@ilyaevseev really what?

cybercode commented 6 years ago

According to the ubuntu CVE on the meltdown exploit, 14.x won't be updated because it is EOL. It is of course possible there will be a backport, but... Any plans to address this issue?

yodax commented 6 years ago

Do you have a link to that statement?

This shows it at pending. This doesn't mention 14.04 as not supported. 14.04 isn't EOL as far as I know.

cybercode commented 6 years ago

Sorry, think i mis-read this page: https://people.canonical.com/%7Eubuntu-security/cve/2017/CVE-2017-5754.html, see the second entry below...

Folks, please open a new issue to talk about a new security issue.

patricmutwiri commented 6 years ago

Do we have mail-in-a-box for ubuntu 16.04?

Memphizzz commented 6 years ago

@patricmutwiri No, but as @jirislav pointed out, we might get a version for 18.04 once its released.

patricmutwiri commented 6 years ago

Let me just head to iRedmail

nikolay commented 6 years ago

There are a lot of 404s via apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. Any suggestion on the sources.list and sources.list.d contents?

nomandera commented 6 years ago

No 404s here. Suggest you create a dedicated ticket unrelated to this one.

JoshData commented 6 years ago

Closing in favor of #1358.

CHazz commented 6 years ago

Ugh has it been two years already?

I'm tempted to wait two more years and switch at what would presumably be 18.04 LTS....

any news ? 14.04 is ,,, little retro :) maybe 20.04 ? no sorry bad joke ..

JoshData commented 6 years ago

See #1358.
