Fetching and building code

BlueMind code is published here: https://forge.bluemind.net/stash/projects/BM/repos/bluemind-public. It is a public copy of our internal repository which follows the following guidelines:

• master branch: main development
• dev/XY branches: base branches for future X.Y.Z-W release (for instance dev/35 for BlueMind 3.5.14-2)
• release/X branches: code for BlueMind released versions. The tip of those branches is static: they are effectively used as tags.

To fetch and build the code:

git clone --depth 1 --branch dev/35 https://forge.bluemind.net/stash/scm/bm/bluemind-public.git
cd bluemind-public
mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true

All BlueMind binary artifacts will be installed in your local maven repository.

Dependancies

bm-cyrus

git clone https://forge.blue-mind.net/stash/scm/bm/bm-cyrus-imapd.git
cd bm-cyrus-imapd
./ci/build_cyrus.sh

bm-nginx

git clone https://forge.blue-mind.net/stash/scm/bm/bm-nginx.git
cd bm-nginx
./ci/build_nginx.sh

Environment

Installing packages on a server that meets the prerequisites is not enough to to have a working BlueMind installation. The following steps must additionally be performed (convenience bm-installwizard package included in the installers does just this).

bm.ini configuration file

The file /etc/bm/bm.ini must be created with the following content (to be tuned to your configuration):

[global]
external-url = your-domain.com
external-protocol = https
host = <YOUR SERVER IP>
dbtype = PGSQL
db = bj
user = bj
password = "bj"

Postgresql database

The following instructions are related to postgresql 9.5, to be tuned to your DBMS version.

We propose a configuration that you can adapt to your needs. Replace the following files in /etc/postgresql/9.5/main/:

pg_hba.conf postgresql.conf

The postgresql.conf file must be edited to set the value of max_connections option. The recommended value being: <NB CORES> * 10 + 10

The database corresponding to the builder version may be downloaded at the following address: http://pkg.blue-mind.net/db/

The following commands use the example of the 3.0.29 release, and should be adjusted depending on your postgresql configuration:

sudo -u postgres psql
create user bj with password 'bj';
create database bj;
grant all privileges on database bj to bj;
\q
sudo -u postgres psql bj < 3.0.23.sql

Insert host information in database :

sudo -u postgres psql
insert into host (host_domain_id, host_timeupdate, host_timecreate, host_name, host_ip) values (1, now(), now(), 'bluemind', '<ip_hote>');
insert into hosttag (tag_id, host_id) values ((SELECT id from systemtag where name='bm/core'), 1);
\q

Restart BlueMind :

bmctl restart

Finally, we recommend that you set the value kernel.shmmax=300000 in /etc/sysctl.conf.

nginx configuration

The bm-webmail and bm-client-access files (in /etc/nginx/sites-available folder) must be edited to replace all  "${externalUrl}" occurences with the server external URL (as specified in bm.ini), then symlinked to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled.

Then just restart your nginx server to enjoy your new BlueMind system!
