Presentation

BlueMind 4.0 allows, in addition to the distribution of user emails, to distribute all user data on several servers which now contain a database in addition to cyrus.

Thus, when the administrator chooses to place a user's data on a server, it is no longer only his or her messages that will be placed on that server, but also all of that user's data that will be placed in that server's database (contacts, appointments, settings, etc.).

Installation

Prerequisites

Have 2 machines installed and up to date in a supported OS:

  • main machine that will receive BlueMind
  • secondary machine which will be used as a server to store user data

It is possible to spread the data over several storage servers, it will be sufficient to repeat the preparation of the storage server on each of them.

This can be done before or after the installation of the main server, the order is not important.

Procedure

Preparing the storage server

On the secondary server, intended to receive the data :

  1. drop the subscription in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bm.list

  2. install the package bm-mailbox-role :

    aptitude install bm-mailbox-role

    The following message may appear depending on the packages already installed or not on your system:

    root@shard:~# aptitude install bm-mailbox-role
