Zimbra 9 Open Source is not updated

Thanks a lot (for real..!).   Does this mean it will be Zextras that will handle updates for the future?

You might like to know that Zimbra have restarted building the Open Source ZCS, you can find it here: https://www.zimbra.com/try/zimbra-collaboration-open-source/ - I've also posted this on the Zimbra Forums a while back.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. If you follow the link I posted you'll see it's a download for the Open Source versions of ZCS.

Nope, it says:  8.8.15 GA Release  for download.  Can't find the 9 version. 

You're quite right, perhaps I'm being a bit premature!

@matt 

I have the same error after Zimbra update. Your solution worked for me thanks.

Hello everyone,

I'm glad to inform you the new Zimbra 9.0.0 OSE built by Zextras based on patch 28 is now available for download.

• Download the package:  https://www.zextras.com/zextras-build-based-on-zimbra-official-repository/
• Read more about patches and updating: https://community.zextras.com/how-we-solved-the-issue-of-updating-zimbra-9/

Have a nice one!

@arman Thanks for the good work! I am gonna try it and let you know.

@arman Thanks for all the good work. Happy holidays 🍾 🥂 

@arman Just curious. What are the correct update steps? I see from Zimbra several steps but are they included in the Zextras package?

https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Zimbra_Releases/9.0.0/P28

Do I have to?:

zmprov md domain_name zimbraVirtualHostName virtual_hostname

apt-get install zimbra-common-core-jar zimbra-common-core-libs zimbra-mbox-store-libs

Zextras page:

Follow these steps to upgrade your system

So you decide to upgrade your system, That’s the correct call

1. Go ahead and download the latest installer from here
2. Untar the installer, and as root run the “./install.sh”
3. You will be prompted about upgrading the installation, choose Yes, and go-ahead
4. At the end run a yum/apt update to be sure that all the system packages and dependencies are correctly updated

And it’s done! I hope you’re happy with this solution!

You should follow the instructions on the "Zextras page:" You don't need to do anything else, I've already installed it and, as usual, there's no problems.

@phoenix Thanks! Upgrade successfully performed.

Release 9.0.0.ZEXTRAS.20221203.UBUNTU18.64 UBUNTU18_64 FOSS edition.

I've just completed my upgrade from

(9.0.0.ZEXTRAS.20221203.UBUNTU18.64) over (9.0.0.ZEXTRAS.20220402.UBUNTU18.64)

Successfully, as far as my testing show.  Log message of concern:

@martinwiertz So I presume we remove any old references to the Zimbra repos in the apt/sources.list.d/ before doing an update && upgrade or dist-upgrade?
