Guides & Documentation

Upgrading to 8.5.0 from 8.4.x

Configuration Changes

The JMAP apiserver will require the below configuration changes to allow uploads to storage providers as well as provision users with 3rd party storage access. These entries should edited/added to your /etc/atmail/api/api.conf.

SHARE_URL=https://yourdomain.com/api/download?blobId={blobId}&name={name}&accountId={accountId}&accessToken={accessToken}

### Settings

PROVISION=15

When upgrading from 8.5.0 to 8.4.x please ensure you run the schema upgrade tools:

/usr/bin/apiserver -c /etc/atmail/api/api.conf -console -V --updatedb
cd /usr/share/atmail/dav/; php ./scripts/update.php
cd /usr/share/atmail/mailserver/webui; php ./utilities/db.php

Then restart required services:

systemctl restart apiserver nginx php-fpm

Please be aware of the following schema changes:

Database for apiserver:

alter table AccountSettings change Settings Settings MEDIUMTEXT;
ALTER TABLE GlobalSettings ADD GoogleDrivePickerConfig TEXT NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE GlobalSettings ADD DropboxPickerConfig TEXT NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE GlobalSettings ADD OnedrivePickerConfig TEXT NOT NULL;

To keep dashboard logs visible please ensure the following is set in atmail mail server:

replace into Config enable_dashboard_log (section, keyName, keyValue, keyType) values ('global', 'enable_dashboard_log', '1', 'Bool');

Ensure correct RBAC permissions are set (dashboard_logs_webmaillog_view) on the administration users you wish to provide dashboard logs for.

SkipPasswordValidation has been removed from the API. This functionality has been replaced by IMAPMasterPassword.

StrictContentTypeScanning has been added to the API. This configuration allows very strict content scanning if enabled. Setting this will not allow your users to upload password protected items.

Feature Guides

DAV Authentication to IMAP

DAV can be configured to authenticate against your IMAP service. This enables the combined quota feature. To enable this feature please configure the following in the mail server API:

Services → Dav service : (As seen below)

Once configured, a publishconfig is required to apply the changes.

Combined Quota

Requires DAV Authentication to IMAP

Combined quota can be enabled to share storage quota calculations between My Files and IMAP storage. To enable this feature please configure the following in the mail server API:

Services → Dav service : Enable combined quota → ON

Then configure the mailserver settings for database access.

Screenshot_from_2019-03-11_11-33-48.png

After publishing the combined quota mode will be enabled.

My Files - S3

My files can now be stored on an AWS S3 bucket.

Requirements:

To configure this feature modify the DAV Config file in /etc/atmail/dav/config.php and append the below entries to end of the file. This avoids conflicts with any publishes from the WebAdmin console.

define('ENABLE_STORAGE', true);
define('STORAGE_ENGINE', 'S3');
define('STORAGE_S3_CONFIG', '/etc/atmail/dav/aws.s3.json');
define('STORAGE_S3_BUCKET', '<your s3 bucket>');

Once saved, create your aws.s3.json file that will hold the access credentials in /etc/atmail/dav/aws.s3.json.

{
    "includes": ["_aws"],
    "services": {
        "default_settings": {
            "params": {
                "credentials": {
                    "key": "<s3 key>",
                    "secret": "<s3 secret>"
                },
                "region": "us-east-1"
            }
        }
    }
}

Once saved, restart php-fpm for the configurations to take effect

systemctl restart php-fpm

Dropbox Config →

Google Drive Config →

{"appId": "YOUR_APPID", "devKey": "YOUR_APPLICATION_ID"}

After the apiserver has been restarted this feature will be available to webmail users.

A user can then use this feature via the composer attachment to attach from an external storage provider.
