This is very useful. However, cloning the repo and working through it
requires much more work than just picking the compose file, defining
the services I want and building.
It's obvious I have to wait for the MariaDB bits to be baked in before I
can attempt to run from your repo.
My current environment:
Exim → SMTP
Dovecot → IMAP and authentication
MariaDB → SOGo profiles, address books, calendars, and user sources
nginx → reverse proxy
So I would have to strip a lot from your compose file to only retain
what I don't already have.
Thank you for feedback.
The compose file is now structured such that users can pick from a list
of backends. For your specific use case this may be
```bash
# Exim + Dovecot + MariaDB — only need SOGo core + MariaDB
docker compose --profile nginx --profile db-mariadb up -d
# Then point SOGo to your existing services via Admin API:
# SOGO_D_IMAP_SERVER = your-dovecot
# SOGO_D_SMTP_SERVER = your-exim
```
I looked at opendesk-edu. Looks promising too. But I got to that point
where I saw Jitsi/BBB/Moodle and kinda felt lost. However, when all
pointed to k8s, I gave up. It's not my cup of tea :-)
Thank you for the kind words. openDesk Edu is about a digital workplace
for universities and other (rather bigger) organizations. Thus, k8s is
the platform to go. However, the point I wanted to make is the
following: openDesk Edu integrates SOGo (6) and positions it as a viable
groupware option - next to OX, grommumio, etc.
Best, Tobias
