Hello SOGo community,
I've been working with the SOGo 6 codebase (both `sogo6-server` and
`SOGo6-UI`) and wanted to share a feature development effort I've
completed. The following repository is packaged with Docker Compose
(Stalwart + OpenLDAP) and implements some roadmap features.
## Repository (a bit hidden in dev branch)
https://github.com/tobias-weiss-ai-xr/sogo6-stalwart-openldap-dockerized/tree/dev
## What Was Built
### Core SOGo 6 Features
- Full mail stack — send, read, folders, search, bulk operations, Sieve
filters
- Calendar — CRUD, events, tasks, reminders, free/busy, external iCal sync
- Contacts — address books, contacts, distribution lists, collected
addresses
- Admin panel — user CRUD (LDAP), domain settings, system settings,
session management
- Multi-language — English, German, French, Spanish (~2,100 strings each)
- Production-ready Dockerfiles — multi-stage, non-root, healthcheck
## Tools Used
This repo was developed with assistance from **Mistral AI** (model
**Mistral Medium 3.5 128B**, accessed via
[hessian.ai](https://hessian.ai) and hosted at TU Darmstadt) for code
generation, debugging, and architectural guidance. Many thanks to both
Mistral AI and hessian.ai for their excellent tools and services.
## Next Steps
I believe the code could serve as a reference implementation or starting
point for the broader SOGo 6 ecosystem. Key areas I'd love feedback on:
1. The SSO implementation (OIDC + SAML) — is this aligned with your
internal plans?
2. The MFA/TOTP login flow — we integrated code verification directly
into the existing `POST /login` endpoint rather than a separate
challenge flow
3. Any interest in upstreaming the sharing infrastructure (calendar +
contact ACL engines)?
Happy to discuss any part of the implementation in more detail, maybe
during the next CoP that I annouce shortly.
Best regards, Tobias Weiß
