I've been in going through the process of migrating from Zimbra to Carbonio CE this last week or so. I put it off because Zimbra just worked and could see Carbonio was still very much a work in progress. In doing so I've encountered more bugs, major usability issues, bad documentation, and other issues then I have any product in my 25 year career in tech. I really appreciate what Zextras is doing picking up the slack from Zimbra, I realize the effort involved, and I'm willing to live with some issues, but I have to ask:
- When can we expect a stable, tested, release? It's clear RHEL is not actually supported/tested fully. Maybe things are better with Ubuntu? It doesn't seem like it though when you release a version that is supposed to support chat and it doesn't work for anyone on either platform. I REALLY want Carbonio to be successful and survive long term but the community is still seemingly pretty small and these issues are a huge turn off for new users like me.
- Maybe I'm missing it but is there somewhere I can actually submit a bug report or feature request like most other OS projects? I can't find that on github. It's really frustrating that this small forum is the only way I can interact with the project.
To be hounest, looking at your posting date, we are a year ahead and I am begining to make the same conclusion after 3 install attempts.
There is too much going wrong, too much nitted together instead of a simple working modulair setup in which you can choose which parts you don't want to install.
I am killing the Carbonio VM...
As my Zimbra is behind a front-end mailgateway EFA5, there is absolutely no need to say goodbye to my EoL Zimbra 8 OSE.
Hi,
Sorry to hear about your experience.
But we could help you if you could provide the details. Even your feedback with specifics could be valuable.
Regards,

I would be glad to see the auto install script using "options" like when you don't want to use things like "files, chat, video, workflow". That would be nice because I had it all running once only when I did a full install. But I will not spend 24GB of RAM to a virtual solely to replace a Zimbra mailserver.
You can check this FAN Made Script: (Even modify it)

Where you can use the script to install upto tasks/files automatically then for workstream related features you can skip them or use role-wise installation guideline by the documentation.
