[SOGo] Testbed setups
I have been meaning to setup a testbed for our SOGo installation ever since we finally moved from testing to production. Basically our setup consists of SOGo on it's own virtual machine. It pulls LDAP from our primary OpenLDAP server, mail is accessed from our primary mail server, MySQL is accessed on our primary MySQL server, and we have a separate machine setup for mobile mail using the modified z-push which ties back into SOGo for the calendar/contacts. My question is this: is there anyone that has a fully functional testbed setup that mirrors their production setup in every way? If so how did you do it? Totally separate MySQL server or just a separate database? I am not really concerned about the LDAP or mail but mostly MySQL since that is where everything is kept for the calendars and such. What I would like to do is have a fully functional duplicate SOGo server that we can test updates on before rolling out to production. This means like duplicating the MySQL database and making sure preferences are the same in both places for like calendar colors, signature, etc. I am not concerned with entries input on the testbed translating to the production since all we will input on the testbed is exactly that, testing data. However it will need to be able to have all the data input on production available to be manipulated in the testbed. Hope this makes sense. -- Donny B. -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists

I just use Proxmox to virtualise the whole sogo server in KVM or openvz, then create a snapshot and run with that. Its then identical in every way ... Depends on the scale of your operation really i guess ... Julian -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists

So basically both machines would have access to the same database at the same time. That is why I was thinking about doing a separate MySQL database or server for testing. But then it gets into how to replicate it. Donny B. -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
