Hi @dmitry

I see differences in the instructions for Ubuntu and RHEL, carbonio-preview-ce is missing.

My bad. I checked the list of packages between Ubuntu and RHEL twice, but did not realise carbonio-preview-ce was missing on RHEL8. I'll add it right now, thanks for reporting this.

Hi,

Thank you for writing to us.

I see differences in the instructions for Ubuntu and RHEL, carbonio-preview-ce is missing. Do I need to install it additionally? Only the command "dnf install carbonio-preview-ce" or additional steps? Don't I need "carbonio-docs-connector-db"?

about this one:

We are updating the official documentation page. What you can do is execute the followings:

# dnf install carbonio-preview-ce

# pending-setups

No, it is only available in Carbonio not in CE.

P.S.: When will Chats be added to CE?

We are continuously working to make the platform a complete one. But we hope you can understand how rigorous the process is? So we would request you to be with us and we will share you an update as soon as we have any.

Found another error in the logs:

Running scriptlet: carbonio-policyd-2.0.14-3.el8.x86_64 65/89
chown: cannot access '/opt/zextras/data/cbpolicyd': No such file or directory

You are testing the installation on Oracle Linux which is not currently the officially supported OS for Carbonio CE.

Carbonio CE is available for 64-bit CPUs only and can be installed on top of the below-mentioned distributions:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
RHEL 8

But testing on other OS may need all dependencies to be satisfied which is currently undefined. This may include adding third-party repositories or manually installing software packages.

So we would request you to install Carbonio CE on either Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or RHEL8 following our official documentation.

Thanks and regards,

Sharif

😊

I installed Carbonio CE on Oracle Linux 8 following the RHEL instructions https://docs.zextras.com/carbonio-ce/html/single-server-installation.html.
Additionally I had to disable ipv6 and add codeready_builder "dnf config-manager --set-enabled ol8_codeready_builder". In the test installation I was getting a request error, so I additionally installed "dnf install python3-requests" after "dnf install service-discover-server".
Carbonio CE works, but there is no document preview in the files section and in email messages. Also the document editor does not work.
