Hi,

Thank for your feedback. Let me share a simple procedure to change.reset the postgres password:

zextras@mail:~$ su - postgres
postgres@mail:~$ psql
psql (12.17 (Ubuntu 12.17-0ubuntu0.20.04.1))
Type "help" for help.

postgres=#
postgres=# ALTER ROLE carbonio_adm WITH PASSWORD '654321';
postgres=# exit
postgres@mail:~$ exit
logout
root@mail:~#

Though now you can reset service wise password but that's another talk for another day!

Have a great weekend and stay blessed.

Regards,

Sharif

1. Resetting the Postgres password. No idea what the carbonio_adm password was originally set to, but I had to reset it.
   
   
2. Single Server Installation Checklist. Even though this was written for Ubuntu 20.04 and Postgres 12, and I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 and Postgres 16, it still proved very useful and easy to follow.

So, this one can be marked "solved"!

Thanks!

I installed a new virtual machine containing Ubuntu Server 22.04 the other day, giving the main OS 160 GB and the /opt directory specifically 1 TB for email storage. It has 8 CPU and 16 GB of RAM. The SAN contains solid state drives.

I ran this script specifically, following the steps on the page.

It failed out with the error:

service-discover: error: unable to open /etc/zextras/service-discover/cluster-credentials.tar.gpg: cannot find Cluster credential in /etc/zextras/service-discover/cluster-credentials.tar.gpg, please copy the file from the existing server
cannot access to bootstrap token.

I would really suggest that someone on the Zextras team do the same build I did and see what errors appear, and then evaluate how to fix it for future installers. If you really need someone to, I'll do it myself and then send you the screen recording of exactly what I do and you can evaluate what I'm doing wrong, if anything.

Anywho, back on topic:

I googled it, found this page, googled around the broken link, fixed my hosts file, and got my cluster password and the file it needed set. Re-ran the service-discover tool and it failed out on something else, but I got to carbonio-bootstrap and generally got a server up and running. But now I'm wondering "what isn't working that should be?"

My understanding is that I should be able to go to port 10000 on this server (not sure if that's http://127.0.0.1:10000, or http://192.168.xxx.yyy:10000, or http://fqdn.domain.com:10000 or what) and I cannot. The port appears to be open on some oddball 127.78.0.xxx IPs according to "netstat -an | grep 10000", but not on my 192.168.xxx.yyy address nor on anything that would respond via my public http://fqdn.domain.com domain name.

So, how can I determine the health of my new install?

Thanks, in advance!
