Migration from Zimbra FOSS to Carbonio CE

Posted by: @ccelis5215

Hello.

Zextras Suite could be used in order to migrate from Zimbra 8.8 to Carbonio CE ?

Hi ccelis5215,

No, CarbonioCE doesn't have a backup engine to import Zextras Suite backup.

Soon we will publish some guides for migrations to CarbonioCE on the community. 

@paolo Any progress on outlining the migration process?

@paolo Any progress on outlining the migration process?

Good afternoon, is there any certainty about the timeline?

With the release of the Carbonio CE GA is there any guide/how-to for doing this migration?

Hi all

Looking for a migration procedure from Zimbra to Carbonio CE?

Kindly someone suggests me a migration tool or Migration steps.

Hi,

Thank you so much for writing to us.

Currently, we do not have any official migration tool for Carbonio CE. As it is many of our users' concern, our dev team is working on this issue. But as you know developing, integrating, QA testing these tools are very time-consuming and rigorous hence it may take some time to become fully available for our users.

But we have tested that you can use imapsync method to migrate your email data from your Zimbra server to the carbonio server. Please read this blog article, it might be helpful for you.

Imapsync migration method

Please let us know your observation.

Thanks and regards,

Hi all,

We need a migration tool from Zimbra FOSS (8.8.15) to Carbonio CE.

Yes, we are willing to pay for this, as we did with Zimbra.

Thanks in advance.

@ccelis5215 Hey mate, I can help with migration if required. 

Since Zimbra 8.8.15 will be reaching their end-of-life (EOL) at 12/31/2023 I guess a lot of people are looking to migrate their Zimbra to Carbonio CE. 

Is there any documentation on migrating to Carbonio CE yet? Not just migrating mailboxes but also calender, mailbox settings, auto replies etc. If that is possible at all?

Hello @extras321,

Our team is currently crafting multiple articles that will cover the process of migrating from the Zimbra platform to Carbonio CE. Keep an eye on our community blogs to be the first to read them as soon as they are released.

We will provide additional materials related to this subject, such as videos, on our YouTube channel as well.

I used Z2Z - https://github.com/BktechBrazil/Z2Z very effectively on my migrations. Just follow instructions.

I had to make some adjustments like use curl instead of zmmailbox to import mailboxes dumps in Carbonio.

In the import script edited it to don't touch Carbonio COS and to use "zextras" user instead of "zimbra".

On the import dumps matter, for some reason option "-t 0" just doesn't work and Carbonio aborts connection with timeout error. Using curl to import bypasses it.

curl -k -u ${ADMIN}:${PASS} -s -F file=@/path_to_dump/user@domain.com.tgz "https://localhost:6071/service/home/user@domain.com/?fmt=tgz&resolve=skip"

works great.

@anahuac Would you be so kind to share the modified file please? Thank you in advance 🙂
