Kolab is an unified communication and collaboration system, composed of a server-side daemon which offers storage and synchronization capabilities for contact, calendar, mail and file data. Clients can use several well defined formats like vCard, iCal, XML, IMAP and LDAP to communicate with the Kolab server.

Installation

Kolab server is available in the AUR via the pykolab package.

Configuration

At first, Kolab requires you to use a FQDN (fully qualified domain name), therefore adjust and append:

/etc/hosts
192.168.1.101 kolab.example.org

Write the same domain name into /etc/hostname.

OpenLDAP

sudo setup-kolab ldap

389-ds-base

Dovecot IMAPD

Frontends

Roundcubemail Plugin

Besides the basic Roundcubemail installation and configuration, this roundcubemail-plugins-kolab plugin package is needed for advanced groupware functionality.

Test and start the server

systemctl enable kolabd
systemctl start kolabd
