It's true what you are saying, currently i'm planning some sogo deployments, one with a LDAP (FreeIPA) Backend and one with a postgresql Backend. Currently I'm playing around with postgresql and it isn't really easy with this documentation to bring up SOGo. (But btw. other Groupware Documentations are painful aswell) I mean SOGo is really really good. It's very fast and it works on my VPS that has 512MB Memory even with LDAP installed. (Currently Zimbra needs way more 2GB Memory or above, that makes it painful to use, but easy to install / configure).
I think the problem with the documentation is not the configuration steps, Some things are just missing. I mean when I want to configure SOGo, I wan't to know, how I configure Cyrus with any SOGo Backend aswell and Postfix also with any Backend. I mean I'm confident with Apache and i wouldn't even needed the config file that you deployed with sogo. But I'm a total newbie with ldap / postfix / cyrus and I think many people are new to this feature aswell, since most of the groupware people coming from other enviroments where you didn't need to configure your own imap or mta. Nothing against you sogo guys, since you gave us one of the best, groupware's that are completly free and there aren't good alternatives. I mean kolab3, is really not production ready, zimbra is not really good since the nice features are only in the network edition and it uses way to much ressources, horde is cool and good, but it's old and still uses more than sogo uses. there are plenty of examples why sogo is better, but since you gave us 1 Document with like 60 sites which only includes the options that i could configure about sogo and not a complete document HOW TO INSTALL sogo it's really hard. I mean rename the document from SOGo installation to SOGO Configurable Options and make a new Guide which says Install Sogo which includes nearly every configuration option for real world deployments. -- [email protected] https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
