Moreover, if it happens that some package is already installed, it should make no difference during the installation process, becasue those packages are simply skipped, so there's no problem in continuing the installation in those cases.

Thank you very much @stefanodavid !

For the installation, in addition to the official documentation, I use the notes I take during the test installation.

In fact, it would be useful to find a "warning" regarding this change in the official documentation.

Some of these packages are already installed by the installation script, others are not. This creates some confusion:

Hi @trigg3r, which "installation script are you referring to? There is no script, just commands. As mentioned by @Shariful-islam, carbonio-ce was just a metapackage, i.e., a convenient way of pulling all required packages, that is not offered anymore (for a number of reasons, btw.), so please just follow the procedure that appears on the documentation, which is always kept up to date.

Moreover, if it happens that some package is already installed, it should make no difference during the installation process, becasue those packages are simply skipped, so there's no problem in continuing the installation in those cases.

HTH,

Stefano

Basically I followed the official documentation, where, it seems to me, the instruction "apt install carbon-ce" is missing (perhaps this instruction should have arrived via email, as it happened some time ago, but it is not).

So, shortly:

apt install carbonio-ce

apt install service-discover-server \
carbonio-directory-server \
carbonio-proxy \
carbonio-webui carbonio-files-ui \
carbonio-admin-login-ui \
carbonio-mta \
carbonio-appserver carbonio-logger \
carbonio-user-management \
carbonio-files-ce carbonio-files-db \
carbonio-storages-ce \
carbonio-preview-ce \
carbonio-docs-connector-ce carbonio-docs-editor \
postgresql-12

carbonio-bootstrap

and then Step 5, Step 6, Step 7 ...

Hi,

Could you please tell us a little more about the installation process?

Which set of instructions you followed or what did you do to install the Carbonio CE?

Thanks

In the documentation (Step 3: System Upgrade and Package Installation) I read: The installation of Carbonio CE requires to run the command:

apt install service-discover-server \
carbonio-directory-server \
carbonio-proxy \
carbonio-webui carbonio-files-ui \
carbonio-admin-login-ui \
carbonio-mta \
carbonio-appserver carbonio-logger \
carbonio-user-management \
carbonio-files-ce carbonio-files-db \
carbonio-storages-ce \
carbonio-preview-ce \
carbonio-docs-connector-ce carbonio-docs-editor \
postgresql-12

Some of these packages are already installed by the installation script, others are not. This creates some confusion:

• If these packages are required, why are they not installed by the installation script?
• Are the missing ones (eg postgresql-12) essential packages or are they only required in specific cases? (Carbon CE seems to work even without the missing packages)

Thank you.
