<div>=Versioning and Numbering of Open-Xchange Products=<br />
<br />
== Abbreviations ==<br />
<br />
The Open-Xchange versioning will be structured in the following way:<br><br><br />
'''<generation>.<major release>.<minor release> Rev<build number>'''<br><br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"<br />
!align="left" |Abbreviation<br />
!align="left" |Meaning<br />
!align="left" |Comparison<br />
|-<br />
|<generation><br />
|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />
|-<br />
|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<build number><br />
|The Rev-number (Revision) shows the progress of the development in single steps<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6-Revx</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|-<br />
|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) - As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) ended in May 2026.<br />
|May 2026<br />
|-<br />
|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March - As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />
|End of March 2026<br />
|-<br />
|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android - The app was removed from Google Play Store. From this point users will no longer be able to download the app. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Sync app in 2026, both on OX App Suite and on the OX Sync app itself.<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|End of Life CloudAPI v1 - As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) - As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) ended in May 2026.<br />
|May 2026<br />
|-<br />
|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March - As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />
|End of March 2026<br />
|-<br />
|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android - The app was removed from Google Play Store. From this point users will no longer be able to download the app. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Sync app in 2026, both on OX App Suite and on the OX Sync app itself.<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|End of Life CloudAPI v1 - As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Up until now Open-Xchange has provided support for installations of OX App Suite 7.10.x on Debian Jessie. OX App Suite v7.10.x requires OpenJDK 8; OpenJDK 8 is a backport on Debian Jessie and Debian Jessie is currently in LTS (Long Term Support). Recently we have found out that the support for this backport in Debian Jessie has now been discontinued. This means that Debian Jessie no longer supports the required OpenJDK 8. Due to the above situation we regrettably have to inform you that support of OX App Suite v7.10.x and any future version on Debian Jessie must be discontinued from the 2019-03-31.

<br />
The Open-Xchange versioning will be structured in the following way:<br><br><br />
'''<generation>.<major release>.<minor release> Rev<build number>'''<br><br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"<br />
!align="left" |Abbreviation<br />
!align="left" |Meaning<br />
!align="left" |Comparison<br />
|-<br />
|<generation><br />
|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />
|-<br />
|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<build number><br />
|The Rev-number (Revision) shows the progress of the development in single steps<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) - As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) ended in May 2026.<br />
|May 2026<br />
|-<br />
|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March - As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />
|End of March 2026<br />
|-<br />
|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android - The app was removed from Google Play Store.

|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|End of Life CloudAPI v1 - As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) - As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) ended in May 2026.<br />
|May 2026<br />
|-<br />
|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March - As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />
|End of March 2026<br />
|-<br />
|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android - The app was removed from Google Play Store. From this point users will no longer be able to download the app. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Sync app in 2026, both on OX App Suite and on the OX Sync app itself.<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|End of Life CloudAPI v1 - As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Open-Xchange introduced the new OX Drive app v3 for Apple iOS beginning of 2022. This new OX Drive app for Apple iOS, now called "OX Drive by Open-Xchange", is an intelligent file synchronization app for iOS phones and tablets. With this new generation app, Open-Xchange provides a seamless integration into Apple’s app ecosystem and into the system’s own file browser, the Files app. This new OX Drive app replaced the previous OX Drive app v2. We would like to notify you that support for the OX Drive app v2 for Apple iOS will be discontinued from the 3rd of April. With this date, Open-Xchange will remove the app from the Apple App Store. Existing users can continue to use the app but no new users will be able to download it. At the same time Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support it. The new OX Drive app is available at https://apps.apple.com/de/app/ox-drive-by-open-xchange/id1585939206. Existing users of the legacy app can also easily upgrade to the new version by following the "New app available" entry in the navigation panel.<br />

<div>= OX App Suite v7 Requirements - Open-Xchange supported components overview =<br />
<br />
The following table provides an overview about the supported components of OX App Suite v7 and further products. This overview makes no claim to be complete.<br />
<br />
Information about Maintenance expiries of components, versions and browser support, can be found in the [[AppSuite:Versioning_and_Numbering#Maintenance_expires|Maintenance Expires Table]]<br />
<br />
== Hardware Requirements ==<br />
<br />
=== General Assumptions ===<br />
<br />
Open-Xchange App Suite Server (middleware services) is designed to run on physical servers or virtual machines of the same flavor. Cloud environments might be used in terms of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), meaning that all components need to be deployed in a classical manner on virtual machines.<br />
<br />
This means in particular, but not only:<br />
<br />
* Infrastructure is supposed to be "quasi-static". Automatic replacement of broken nodes is fine as long as this is always an exceptional case. Scaling out or reducing number of nodes must always be a conscious task and closely monitored.<br />
* The only supported "Database as a service" solution is AWS RDS for MariaDB as defined by belows compatibility table.<br />
<br />
Especially we expect the virtual hardware to be not over-provisioned. Each VM must have dedicated resources with respect to CPU cores, RAM, IOPS, storage, network bandwidth, network latency, etc.<br />
<br />
Network is expected to be flat, inside one datacenter, no multi-datacenter, no segments. No packet loss, low latency.<br />
<br />
'''Disclaimer: All recommendations below are without guarantee and can differ for specific deployments. For mid- and large-scale setups a detailed deployment planning and sizing tests are mandatory and should be agreed on with OX Professional Services.'''<br />
<br />
=== High Level Design / OS setup ===<br />
<br />
Operate services separately (USM, Document/Image Converters) as described in [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:Running_a_cluster Cluster Setup].<br />
<br />
Clocks between all nodes must be synchronized (e.g. via NTP).<br />
<br />
Open file/max process limits need to be adjusted properly. Based on the used Linux distribution and init system configuration will differ, see Resource Limits for further explanation.<br />
<br />
Platform Architecture: 64 bit versions (x84_64) of the supported [[#Software Requirements | Linux distributions]]<br />
<br />
=== Node Sizing ===<br />
<br />
==== OX App Suite Middleware ====<br />
<br />
* Max. 8 GB heap per JVM + 4 GB system memory for other daemons and the OS (buffers, caches)<br />
* 4 CPU cores (virtual, physical or hyperthreads) for plain HTTP connections. If TLS is terminated on application nodes this might need to be doubled.<br />
* Disk space<br />
** 8 GB for OS and software<br />
** Some services like Document Converter need SWAP partitions (~1 * RAM)<br />
** 2 * system memory of free disk space (i.e. 12 GB RAM => 24 GB free disk space) for file spooling, log files, heap and core dumps<br />
<br />
=== Untested/Unsupported Deployments ===<br />
<br />
* Changes to Garbage Collector settings<br />
* Running in containerized environments (Docker, rkt)<br />
* Elasticity/High velocity of nodes going up and down: Services are sometimes stateful and demand static configuration<br />
* Cloud platform services (PaaS) that promise to replacements for certain supported technologies but have not been verified by OX for these regards<br />
* Multi-site active-active<br />
<br />
== Software Requirements ==<br />
<br />
=== Linux Distributions ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite is available as Linux packages for the following distributions:<br />
<br />

|}<br />
<br />
=== Java ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite Middleware requires OpenJDK headless JRE 8 or 9. Linux distributions might offer only packages for OpenJDK 11 JRE or higher, which are not suitable for OX App Suite. It is in those cases required to install Eclipse Temurin 8 JRE with HotSpot VM (successor of Adoptium). A comprehensive installation guide can be found at https://adoptium.net/de/installation/linux/. The correct JRE package is '''temurin-8-jdk'''.<br />
<br />
=== Databases ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite uses MySQL/MariaDB with the InnoDB storage engine as its primary data store. The following vendors and products are supported.<br />
<br />

<br />
==== Important Notes ====<br />
<br />
* Open-Xchange does not plan to support '''MySQL 8 or higher'''. As MariaDB and MySQL are diverging and cannot be assumed drop-in replacements anymore, Open-Xchange will focus on MariaDB Server and MariaDB Galera Cluster. Future App Suite releases '''> 7.10.x''' might rely on features only available in '''MariaDB'''.<br />
* Open-Xchange supports '''Percona XtraDB Cluster''' for existing customers with initial deployments done using '''App Suite 7.8.x or earlier'''. Those customers can continue to use Percona XtraDB Cluster throughout the 7.10.x release series. Like for MySQL, 7.10.x supports only versions 5.6 and 5.7. It is not planned to support Percona XtraDB Cluster beyond 7.10.x.<br />
<br />
* For some Linux distributions the included MySQL/MariaDB packages are too old to be used with App Suite. It is mandatory then to install a supported version from '''upstream package sources'''. Possible sources are the official vendor repositories of MySQL or MariaDB as well as for example Red Hat Software Collections.<br />
* Required '''MySQL/MariaDB configuration''' configuration differs between '''App Suite 7.8.4 and 7.10.x''' and also between the different database systems in terms of SQL modes. See [[My.cnf]] for details.<br />
* For upgrades from App Suite <= 7.8.2 to >= 7.10.0 a comprehensive '''database upgrade guide''' exists: [[AppSuite:7_10_Database_Migration]]<br />
<br />
== HTTP Reverse Proxy ==<br />
<br />
An HTTP server with reverse proxy and load balancing capabilities is required in front of App Suite application servers. TLS termination, virtual hosts, path-based routing, sticky sessions and X-Forwarded headers are typical required features. OX strongly recommends [https://httpd.apache.org/ Apache httpd 2.x] for that. Configuration examples can be found in the quickinstall guides.<br />
<br />
'''Important:''' For websocket support Apache httpd 2.4.x is needed, 2.2.x does not support the required ws_tunnel module. Websockets are mandatory for OX Documents starting with v7.10.3. Like with JRE and MySQL/MariaDB it might be necessary to use 3rd party packages to get the needed Linux packages. Especially for RHEL6 we recommend using Red Hat Software Collections.<br />
<br />
== Webserver ==<br />
<br />
[https://httpd.apache.org/ Apache httpd 2.x] is required as webserver to serve static App Suite UI content. Configuration examples can be found in the quickinstall guides.<br />
<br />
== File Storage ==<br />
<br />
=== Temporary Data ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite stores temporary files in the local file system, e.g. for spooling of uploaded data. Any file system supported by the installed JRE is suitable.<br />
<br />
=== Persistent Data ===<br />
<br />
Persistent data like OX Drive files, PIM attachments etc. and temporary attachment data need to be stored in a distributed file system as registered filestore that is available from all server nodes. For single-node setups a local file system mount point can be used, small to mid-scale setups can be powered by NFS. For large-scale setups object storages should be considered.<br />
<br />
==== Object Storages ====<br />
<br />
OX App Suite ships with different optional adapters to support object storages.<br />

<div>=Versioning and Numbering of Open-Xchange Products=<br />
<br />
== Abbreviations ==<br />
<br />
The Open-Xchange versioning will be structured in the following way:<br><br><br />
'''<generation>.<major release>.<minor release> Rev<build number>'''<br><br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"<br />
!align="left" |Abbreviation<br />
!align="left" |Meaning<br />
!align="left" |Comparison<br />
|-<br />
|<generation><br />
|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />
|-<br />
|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<build number><br />
|The Rev-number (Revision) shows the progress of the development in single steps<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6-Revx</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|-<br />
|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) - As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) ended in May 2026.<br />
|May 2026<br />
|-<br />
|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March - As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />
|End of March 2026<br />
|-<br />
|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android - The app was removed from Google Play Store. From this point users will no longer be able to download the app. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Sync app in 2026, both on OX App Suite and on the OX Sync app itself.<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|End of Life CloudAPI v1 - As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March - As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />
|End of March 2026<br />

|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android - The app was removed from Google Play Store.

|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|End of Life CloudAPI v1 - As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

<br />
The Open-Xchange versioning will be structured in the following way:<br><br><br />
'''<generation>.<major release>.<minor release> Rev<build number>'''<br><br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"<br />
!align="left" |Abbreviation<br />
!align="left" |Meaning<br />
!align="left" |Comparison<br />
|-<br />
|<generation><br />
|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />
|-<br />
|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<build number><br />
|The Rev-number (Revision) shows the progress of the development in single steps<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) - As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) ended in May 2026.<br />
|May 2026<br />
|-<br />
|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March - As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />
|End of March 2026<br />
|-<br />
|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android - The app was removed from Google Play Store. From this point users will no longer be able to download the app. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Sync app in 2026, both on OX App Suite and on the OX Sync app itself.<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|End of Life CloudAPI v1 - As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) - As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) ended in May 2026.<br />
|May 2026<br />
|-<br />
|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March - As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />
|End of March 2026<br />
|-<br />
|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android - The app was removed from Google Play Store. From this point users will no longer be able to download the app. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Sync app in 2026, both on OX App Suite and on the OX Sync app itself.<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|End of Life CloudAPI v1 - As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

Recently we have found out that the support for this backport in Debian Jessie has now been discontinued. This means that Debian Jessie no longer supports the required OpenJDK 8. Due to the above situation we regrettably have to inform you that support of OX App Suite v7.10.x and any future version on Debian Jessie must be discontinued from the 2019-03-31. Open-Xchange encourages administrators to regularly update to the latest available platform releases. To ensure a stable and up to date environment please note the different versions supported. An overview of the latest supported platform release can be found in the OXpedia at: http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_System_Requirements#Linux_Distributions<br />

!align="left" |Abbreviation<br />

|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />
|-<br />
|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) - As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) ended in May 2026.<br />
|May 2026<br />
|-<br />
|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March - As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />
|End of March 2026<br />
|-<br />
|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android - The app was removed from Google Play Store. From this point users will no longer be able to download the app. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Sync app in 2026, both on OX App Suite and on the OX Sync app itself.<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|End of Life CloudAPI v1 - As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) - As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) ended in May 2026.<br />
|May 2026<br />
|-<br />
|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March - As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />
|End of March 2026<br />
|-<br />
|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android - The app was removed from Google Play Store. From this point users will no longer be able to download the app. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Sync app in 2026, both on OX App Suite and on the OX Sync app itself.<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|End of Life CloudAPI v1 - As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Open-Xchange introduced the new OX Drive app v3 for Apple iOS beginning of 2022. This new OX Drive app for Apple iOS, now called "OX Drive by Open-Xchange", is an intelligent file synchronization app for iOS phones and tablets. With this new generation app, Open-Xchange provides a seamless integration into Apple’s app ecosystem and into the system’s own file browser, the Files app. This new OX Drive app replaced the previous OX Drive app v2. We would like to notify you that support for the OX Drive app v2 for Apple iOS will be discontinued from the 3rd of April. With this date, Open-Xchange will remove the app from the Apple App Store. Existing users can continue to use the app but no new users will be able to download it. At the same time Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support it. The new OX Drive app is available at https://apps.apple.com/de/app/ox-drive-by-open-xchange/id1585939206. Existing users of the legacy app can also easily upgrade to the new version by following the "New app available" entry in the navigation panel.<br />

Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Mail App and the Mobile API Facade component.<br />

|Up until now Open-Xchange has provided support for installations of OX App Suite 7.10.x on Debian Jessie. OX App Suite v7.10.x requires OpenJDK 8; OpenJDK 8 is a backport on Debian Jessie and Debian Jessie is currently in LTS (Long Term Support). Recently we have found out that the support for this backport in Debian Jessie has now been discontinued. This means that Debian Jessie no longer supports the required OpenJDK 8. Due to the above situation we regrettably have to inform you that support of OX App Suite v7.10.x and any future version on Debian Jessie must be discontinued from the 2019-03-31. Open-Xchange encourages administrators to regularly update to the latest available platform releases. To ensure a stable and up to date environment please note the different versions supported. An overview of the latest supported platform release can be found in the OXpedia at: http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_System_Requirements#Linux_Distributions<br />

<br />
== Overview ==<br />
<br />
OX Guard is a fully integrated security add-on to OX App Suite that provides end users with a flexible email and file encryption solution. OX Guard is a highly scalable, multi server, feature rich solution that is so simple-to-use that end users will actually use it. With a single click a user can take control of their security and send secure emails and share encrypted files. This can be done from any device to both OX App Suite and non-OX App Suite users.<br />
<br />
OX Guard uses standard PGP encryption for the encryption of email and files. S/Mime is also supported since version 2.10.7. PGP has been around for a long time, yet has not really caught on with the masses. This is generally blamed on the confusion and complications of managing the keys, understanding trust, PGP format types, and lack of trusted central key repositories. Guard simplifies all of this, making PGP encryption as easy as a one click process, with no keys to keep track of, yet the options of advanced PGP management for those that know how.<br />
<br />
This article will guide you through the installation of Guard and describes the basic configuration and software requirements. As it is intended as a quick walk-through it assumes an existing installation of the operating system including a single server App Suite setup as well as average system administration skills. This guide will also show you how to setup a basic installation with none of the typically used distributed environment settings. The objective of this guide is:<br />
<br />
* To setup a single server installation<br />
* To setup a single Guard instance on an existing Open-Xchange installation, no cluster<br />
* To use the database service on the existing Open-Xchange installation for Guard, no replication<br />
* To provide a basic configuration setup, no mail server configuration<br />
<br />
=== Key Features ===<br />
<br />
* Simple security at the touch of a button<br />
* Provides user based security - Separate from provider<br />
* Supplementary security to Provider based security - Layered<br />
* Powerful features yet simple to use and understand<br />
* Security - Inside and outside of the OX environment<br />
* Email and Drive integration<br />
* Uses proven PGP security<br />
<br />
=== Availability ===<br />
<br />
If an OX App Suite customer would like to evaluate OX Guard integration, the first step is to contact OX Sales. OX Sales will then work on the request and send prices and license/API (for the hosted infrastructure) key details to the customer.<br />
<br />
=== Requirements ===<br />
<br />
Please review [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_System_Requirements#OX_Guard OX Guard Requirements] for a full list of requirements.<br />
<br />
Since OX Guard is a Microservice it can either be added to an existing Open-Xchange installation or it can be deployed on a dedicated environment. The version of Guard installed is dependent on the Appsuite version installed. Please refer to the version matrix below.<br />
<br />
==== Prerequisites ====<br />
<br />
* Open-Xchange REST API<br />
* Grizzly HTTP connector (open-xchange-grizzly)<br />
* A supported Java Virtual Machine (Java 8)<br />
* An Open-Xchange App Suite installation (see version Matrix)<br />
* Please Note: To get access to the latest minor features and bug fixes, you need to have a valid license. The article [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:UpdatingOXPackages Updating OX-Packages] explains how that can be done.<br />
<br />
==== Version Matrix ====<br />
{|<br />
! style="text-align:left;"| Core Version<br />
! Guard Version<br />
|-<br />
|7.10.5<br />
|2.10.5<br />
|-<br />
|7.10.6<br />
|2.10.6<br />
|}<br />
<br />
=== Important Notes ===<br />
<br />
==== Customization ====<br />
<br />
OX Guard version supports branding / theming using the configuration cascade, defining a templateID for a user or context. Check the [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:GuardCustomization OX Guard Customization] article for more details.<br />
<br />
==== Mail Resolver ====<br />
<br />
READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY; BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH GUARD INSTALLATION!<br />
<br />
The Guard installation must be able to determine if an email recipient is a local OX user or if it should be a guest account. The default MailResolver uses the context domain name to do this. On many installations, domains may extend across multiple context and multiple database shards. In these cases, the default MailResolver won't work. In addition, if a custom authentication package is used, the Mail Resolver will likely not work.<br />
<br />
Once Guard is installed, please be sure to test the mail resolver using:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">/opt/open-xchange/sbin/guard test email@domain</source><br />
to see if the mail Resolver works.<br />
<br />
If the test does not work, you will likely need a custom Mail Resolver. Please see [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:GuardMailResolver Mail Resolver] page<br />
<br />
This resolver software ''depends heavily on your local deployment''.<br />
<br />
== Download and Installation ==<br />
<br />
=== General ===<br />
<br />
The installation of the <code>open-xchange-guard-backend-plugin</code> package which is required for Guard and the main <code>open-xchange-guard</code> package in version 2.4.0 or higher will eventually execute database update tasks if installed and activated. Please take this into account.<br />
<br />
There are several components to the Guard service. They can be all installed on the same server as the OX middleware or on a separate server.<br />
<br />
The components required for the OX middleware are: <code>open-xchange-rest</code>, <code>open-xchange-guard-backend-plugin</code> and <code>open-xchange-guard-ui</code>.<br />
<br />
The components required for the OX frontend are: <code>open-xchange-guard-ui-static</code> and optionally <code>open-xchange-guard-help-en-us</code> (or preferred language for help files).<br />
<br />
The components required for the Guard server <code>open-xchange-guard</code> and either <code>open-xchange-guard-file-storage</code> or <code>open-xchange-guard-s3-storage</code> depending on what storage you want to use. The examples below make use of the <code>open-xchange-guard-file-storage</code>. Adjust the commands accordingly to fit your needs. In addition <code>open-xchange</code> and <code>open-xchange-core</code> are required to run OX Guard.<br />

=== Univention Corporate Server ===<br />
<br />
If you have purchased the OX App Suite for UCS, the OX Guard is part of the offering. OX Guard is available in the Univention App Center. Please check the UMC module App Center for the installation of the OX Guard at your already available environment.<br />
<br />
Please note: By default, OX Guard generates the link to the secure content for external recipients on the basis of the local fully qualified domain name (FQDN). If the local FQDN is not reachable from the Internet, it has to be specified manually. This can be done by setting a UCR variable, e.g. via the UMC module &quot;Univention Configuration Registry&quot;. The variable has to contain the external FQDN of the OX Guard system:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">oxguard/cfg/guard.properties/com.openexchange.guard.externalEmailURL=HOSTNAME.DOMAINNAME</source><br />

<br />
== Configuration ==<br />
<br />
The following gives an overview of the most important settings to enable Guard for users on the Open-Xchange installation. Some of those settings have to be modified in order to establish the database and REST API access from the Guard service. All settings relating to the Guard backend component are located in the configuration file <code>guard-core.properties</code> located in <code>/opt/open-xchange/etc</code>. The default configuration should be sufficient for a basic &quot;up-and-running&quot; setup (with the exception of defining the database username and password). Please refer to the inline documentation of the configuration file for more advanced options. Additional information can be found in the [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_Guard_Configuration_2_10 Guard Configuration] article.<br />
<br />
=== Basic Configuration ===<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">$ vim /opt/open-xchange/etc/guard-core.properties</source><br />
Guard database for storing Guard user information, main lookup tables:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">com.openexchange.guard.oxguardDatabaseHostname=localhost</source><br />
Guard database that stores keys for guest users. May be the same as above. New guest shards will be created on this database as needed. If not supplied, will use the <code>oxguardDatabaseHostname</code>:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">com.openexchange.guard.oxguardShardDatabase=localhost</source><br />
Username and Password for the databases above:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">com.openexchange.guard.databaseUsername=openexchange<br />
com.openexchange.guard.databasePassword=db_password</source><br />
Open-Xchange REST API host:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">com.openexchange.guard.restApiHostname=localhost</source><br />
Open-Xchange REST API username and password (need to be defined in the OX backend in the &quot;Configure services&quot; below):<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">com.openexchange.guard.restApiUsername=apiusername<br />
com.openexchange.guard.restApiPassword=apipassword</source><br />
External URL for this Open-Xchange installation. This setting will be used to generate the link to the secure content for external recipients:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">com.openexchange.guard.externalEmailURL=URL_TO_OX</source><br />
=== Middleware Configuration on OX Guard node ===<br />
<br />
If you are installing OX Guard on a node that until yet did not host an Open-Xchange middleware you have to additionally configure some parts of the following properties files:<br />
<br />
* <code>configdb.properties</code>: information about the existing configuration database.<br />
* <code>server.properties</code>: information about the connections have to be set.<br />
* <code>system.properties</code>: at least <code>SERVER_NAME</code> should be set.<br />
<br />
=== Sevices Configuration ===<br />
<br />
==== Apache ====<br />
<br />
Configure the <code>mod_proxy_http</code> module by adding the Guard API.<br />
<br />
Debian GNU/Linux 9.0 and 10.0<br />
<source lang="bash">$ vim /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf</source><br />
<br />
Redhat Enterprise Linux 6/7 or CentOS 6/7<br />
<source lang="bash">$ vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/ox.conf</source><br />
<br />
Add the following section into VirtualHost definition:<br />
<br />
<Directory /var/www/html/guard><br />
Options -Indexes<br />
</Directory><br />
<br />
Debian GNU/Linux 9.0 and 10.0<br />
<source lang="bash">$ vim /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/proxy_http.conf</source><br />
<br />
Redhat Enterprise Linux 6/7 or CentOS 6/7<br />
<source lang="bash">$ vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/proxy_http.conf</source><br />
<br />
<Proxy balancer://oxguard><br />
Order deny,allow<br />
Allow from all<br />
<br />
BalancerMember http://localhost:8009/ timeout=1800 smax=0 ttl=60 retry=60 loadfactor=100 route=OX1<br />
ProxySet stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid scolonpathdelim=ON<br />
SetEnv proxy-initial-not-pooled<br />
SetEnv proxy-sendchunked<br />
</Proxy><br />
<br />
ProxyPass /appsuite/api/oxguard balancer://oxguard/oxguard<br />
ProxyPass /pks balancer://oxguard/pgp<br />
ProxyPass /.well-known/openpgpkey/hu balancer://oxguard/hu<br />
<br />
'''Please Note''': The Guard API settings must be inserted '''''before''''' the existing <code>ProxyPass /appsuite/api</code> parameter.<br />
<br />
'''Also Note''': If you already have a Proxy balancer for the OX backend with the same URL (say http://localhost:8080) then you don't need the second BalancerMember entry, and you can just have the ProxyPass address that balancer instead.<br />
<br />
After the configuration is done, restart the Apache webserver<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">$ apachectl restart</source><br />
<br />
=== Open-Xchange Middleware Configuration ===<br />
<br />
Edit the <code>guard-api.properties</code> configuration file for the OX backend where the guard-backend-plugin was installed. Please remove comments in front of the following settings to the configuration file <code>guard-api.properties</code> on the Open-Xchange backend servers:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">$ vim /opt/open-xchange/etc/guard-api.properties</source><br />
<source lang="bash"># OX Guard general permission, required to activate Guard in the AppSuite UI.<br />
com.openexchange.capability.guard=true<br />
<br />
# Default theme template id for all users that have no custom template id configured.<br />
com.openexchange.guard.templateID=0</source><br />
Configure the API username and password that you assigned to Guard in the <code>server.properties</code> file:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">$ vim /opt/open-xchange/etc/server.properties</source><br />
<source lang="bash"># Specify the user name used for HTTP basic auth by internal REST servlet<br />
com.openexchange.rest.services.basic-auth.login=apiusername<br />
<br />
# Specify the password used for HTTP basic auth by internal REST servlet<br />
com.openexchange.rest.services.basic-auth.password=apipassword</source><br />
Finally, the OX backend needs to know where the Guard server is located. This is used to notify the Guard server of changes in users, and to send emails marked for signature. The URL for the Guard server should include the URL suffix <code>/guardadmin</code>. In the event of a cluster setup, any Guard server can be referenced here, as it is not session specific, though ideally would have a HTTP load balancer/failover URL:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">$ vim /opt/open-xchange/etc/guard-api.properties</source><br />
<source lang="bash"># Specifies the URI to the OX Guard end-point; e.g. http://guard.host.invalid:8081/guardadmin<br />
# Default is empty<br />
com.openexchange.guard.endpoint=http://guardserver:8009/guardadmin</source><br />
Restart the OX backend<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">$ /etc/init.d/open-xchange restart</source><br />
==== SELinux ====<br />
<br />
Running SELinux prohibits your local Open-Xchange backend service to connect to localhost:8009, which is where the Guard backend service listens to. In order to allow localhost connections to 8009 execute the following:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">$ setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1</source><br />
=== Generating the <code>oxguardpass</code> ===<br />
<br />
Once the Guard configuration (database and backend configuration) and the service configuration has been applied, the Guard administration script needs to be executed in order to create the master password file in <code>/opt/open-xchange/etc/oxguardpass</code>. The initiation only needs to be done '''once''' for a multi server setup, for details please see the sections '''Optional''' and/or '''Clustering'''.<br />
<br />
'''Please Note''': If you run a cluster of OX / Guard nodes, only execute this command on '''ONE''' node. Not on all nodes! See [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:GuardCluster OX Guard Clustering] for details.<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">$ /opt/open-xchange/sbin/guard --init</source><br />
'''Please Note''': It is important to understand that the master password file located at <code>/opt/open-xchange/etc/oxguardpass</code> is required to reset user passwords; without them the administrator will not be able to reset user passwords anymore in the future. The file contains the passwords used to encrypt the master database key, as well as passwords used to encrypt protected data in the users table. It must be the same on all Guard servers.<br />
<br />
=== Test Setup ===<br />
<br />
Not required, but it is a good idea to test the Guard setup before enabling for any users. The test function will verify that Guard has a good connection to the OX backend, and that it can resolve email addresses to users.<br />
<br />
To test, use an email address that exists on the OX backend (john@example.com for this example)<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">/opt/open-xchange/sbin/guard --test john@example.com</source><br />
Guard should return information from the OX backend regarding the user associated with &quot;john@example.com&quot;. Problems resolving information for the user should be resolved before using Guard. Check Rest API passwords and settings if errors returned.<br />
<br />
=== Enabling Guard for Users ===<br />
<br />
Guard provides three capabilities for users in the environment as well as a basic &quot;core&quot; level:<br />
<br />
'''PGP'''<br />
<br />
* Guard: <code>com.openexchange.capability.guard</code><br />
* Guard Mail: <code>com.openexchange.capability.guard-mail</code><br />
* Guard Drive: <code>com.openexchange.capability.guard-drive</code><br />
* Guard Docs: <code>com.openexchange.capability.guard-docs</code><br />
<br />
'''S/Mime'''<br />
<br />
* S/Mime: <code>com.openexchange.capability.smime</code><br />
<br />
The &quot;core&quot; Guard enabled a basic read functionality for Guard PGP encrypted emails. We recommend enabling this for all users, as this allows all recipients to read Guard emails sent to them. Great opportunity for upsell. Recipients with only Guard enabled can then do a secure reply to the sender, but they can't start a new email or add recipients.<br />
<br />
'''Guard Mail''', '''Guard Drive''' and '''Guard Docs''' are additional options for users. &quot;Guard Mail&quot; allows users the full functionality of Guard emails. &quot;Guard Drive&quot; allows for encryption and decryption of Drive files and &quot;Guard Docs&quot; allows direct integration of Guard into Documents.<br />
<br />
'''S/Mime''' enables S/Mime functionality for users (as of 2.10.7). May be used alone or with the above Guard capabilities.<br />
<br />
Each of those Guard components is enabled for all users that have the according capability configured. Please note that users need to have the Drive permission set to use Guard Drive. So the users that have Guard Drive enabled must be a subset of those users with OX Drive permission. Since v7.6.0 we enforce this via the default configuration. Those capabilities can be activated for specific user by using the Open-Xchange provisioning scripts:<br />
<br />
==== Guard PGP Mail: ====<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">$ /opt/open-xchange/sbin/changeuser -c 1 -A oxadmin -P admin_password -u testuser --config/com.openexchange.capability.guard-mail=true</source><br />
==== Guard Drive: ====<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">$ /opt/open-xchange/sbin/changeuser -c 1 -A oxadmin -P admin_password -u testuser --config/com.openexchange.capability.guard-drive=true</source><br />
'''Please Note''': Guard Drive requires Guard Mail to be configured for the user as well. In addition, these capabilities may be configured globally by editing the <code>guard-api.properties</code> file on the OX backend.<br />
<br />
=== S/Mime (as of 2.10.7) ===<br />
<br />
See [[AppSuite:OX_Guard_Smime | OX Guard S/Mime]] for more details on S/Mime<br />
<br />
=== External Guest recipients ===<br />
Starting in Guard 2.10.0, when an encrypted email is sent to a user that does not have Guard, a guest account is created for them in appsuite. The recipient uses the Guest account to read the encrypted email. These guest users MUST have guard capabilities. To do this, guard capability must be added to guest accounts.<br />
<code>/opt/open-xchange/etc/share.properties</code><br />
<source lang="bash">com.openexchange.share.guestCapabilityMode=static<br />
com.openexchange.share.staticGuestCapabilities=guard</source><br />
In a distributed system, the Guest accounts should not be considered transient. Guard servers must be able to verify the guest account exists in the session storage services.<br />
<source lang="bash">com.openexchange.share.transientSessions=false</source><br />
<br />
=== Guest Storage ===<br />
When an encrypted email is sent to an external Guest, a copy of the fully encrypted email is stored on the server. This is used to create an inbox of encrypted emails for the guest. By entering in a password, the emails can be decrypted and displayed.<br />
<br />
How these files are stored depend on which package, open-xchange-guard-file-storage or open-xchange-guard-s3-storage, was installed.<br />
<br />
The file retention policy is configured in the guard-core.properties file.<br />
<br />
=== Recipient key detection ===<br />
<br />
==== Local ====<br />
<br />
Guard needs to determine if an email recipients email address is an internal or external (non-ox) user.<br />
<br />
To detect if the recipient is an account on the same OX Guard system there is a mechanism needed to map a recipient mail address to the correct local OX context. The default implementation delivered in the product achieves that by looking up the mail domain (@example.com) within the list of context mappings. That is at least not possible in case of ISPs where different users/contexts use the same mail domain. In case your OX system does not use mail domains in context mappings it is required to deploy an OX OSGi bundle implementing the <code>com.openexchange.mailmapping.MailResolver</code> class or by interfacing Guard with your mail resolver system. Please see [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:GuardMailResolver OX Guard Mail Resolver] for details.<br />
<br />
==== External ====<br />
<br />
Starting with Guard 2.0, Guard will use public PGP Key servers if configured to find PGP Public keys. <br />
<br />
External PGP servers to use can be configured in the guard.properties file on the Guard servers. These can be "trusted" or "untrusted" servers. Trusted servers might be internal servers containing known, trusted keys. Untrusted servers may be public servers that are not necessarily to be trusted (users will have keys marked as trusted or untrusted).<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">com.openexchange.guard.trustedPGPDirectory = hkp://localservice.somewhere:113711</source><br />
<source lang="bash">com.openexchange.guard.untrustedPGPDirectory = hkp://keys.gnupg.net:11371, hkp://pgp.mit.edu:11371</source><br />
<br />
'''Please Note''' PGP key servers by default append the path /pks when the record is obtained from an SRV record. The proxy (also included in Apache config above) routes anything under /pks to the OX Guard PGP server.<br />
<source lang="bash">ProxyPass /pks balancer://oxguard/pgp</source><br />
<br />
Guard keys are also discoverable using the webkey service as specified here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-koch-openpgp-webkey-service-02<br />
This is enabled if you include the <br />
<source lang="bash">ProxyPass /.well-known/openpgpkey/hu balancer://oxguard/hu</source><br />
in the proxy_http.conf as above.<br />
Please note that the well-known request is targeted at the domain part of the mail address. Therefore clients will request for a mail address name@example.com the URI https://example.com/.well-known/openpgpkey/hu/...<br />
<br />
That means that there is the very likely need that some sort of proxying or rewriting from the webserver providing the domain needs to happen. For example for proxying using Apache 2.4 it would roughly look like this:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash"><br />
SSLProxyEngine on<br />
<LocationMatch /.well-known/openpgpkey/><br />
ProxyPass https://ox.example.com/.well-known/openpgpkey/<br />
</LocationMatch><br />
</source><br />
<br />
=== Clustering ===<br />
<br />
You can run multiple OX Guard servers in your environment to ensure high availability or enhance scalability. OX Guard integrates seamlessly into the existing Open-Xchange infrastructure by using the existing interface standards and is therefor transparent to the environment. A couple of things have to be prepared in order to loosely couple OX Guard servers with Open-Xchange servers in a cluster.<br />
<br />
==== MySQL ====<br />
<br />
The MySQL servers need to be configured in order to allow access to the configdb of Open-Xchange. To do so you need to set the following configuration in the MySQL <code>my.cnf</code>:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">bind = 0.0.0.0</source><br />
This allows the Guard backend to bind to the MySQL host which is configured in the <code>guard-core.properties</code> file with <code>com.openexchange.guard.configdbHostname</code>. After the bind for the MySQL instance is configured and the OX Guard backend would be able to connect to the configured host, you have to grant access for the OX Guard service on the MySQL instance to manage the databases. Do so by connecting to the MySQL server via the MySQL client. Authenticate if necessary and execute the following, please note that you have to modify the hostname / IP address of the client who should be able to connect to this database, it should include all possible OX Guard servers:<br />
<br />
<source lang="sql">GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'openexchange'@'oxguard.example.com' IDENTIFIED BY ‘secret’;</source><br />
<br />
==== Apache ====<br />
<br />
OX Guard uses the Open-Xchange REST API to store and fetch data from the Open-Xchange databases. The REST API is a servlet running in the Grizzly container. By default it is not exposed as a servlet through Apache and is only accessibly via port 8009. In order to use Apache's load balancing via <code>mod_proxy</code> we need to add a servlet called &quot;preliminary&quot; to <code>proxy_http.conf</code>, example based on a clustered <code>mod_proxy</code>configuration:<br />
<br />
<Location /preliminary><br />
Order Deny,Allow<br />
Deny from all<br />
# Only allow access from Guard servers within the network. Do not expose this<br />
# location outside of your network. In case you use a load balancing service in front<br />
# of your Apache infrastructure you should make sure that access to /preliminary will<br />
# be blocked from the Internet / outside clients. Examples:<br />
# Allow from 192.168.0.1<br />
# Allow from 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2<br />
# Allow from 192.168.0.<br />
</Location><br />
<br />
ProxyPass /preliminary balancer://oxcluster/preliminary<br />
<br />
<br />
Make sure that the balancer is properly configured in the <code>mod_proxy</code> configuration. Examples on how to do so can be found in our clustering configuration for Open-Xchange AppSuite. Like explained in the example above, please make sure that this location is only available in your internal network, there is no need to expose <code>/preliminary</code> to the public, it is only used by Guard servers to connect to the OX backend. If you have a load balancer in front of the Apache cluster you should consider blocking access to <code>/preliminary</code> from WAN to restrict access to the servlet to internal network services only.<br />
<br />
Now add the OX Guard <code>BalancerMembers</code> to the oxguard balancer configuration (also in <code>proxy_http.conf</code>) to address all your OX Guard nodes in the cluster in this balancer configuration. The configuration has to be applied to all Apache nodes within the cluster.<br />
<br />
If the Apache server is a dedicated server <code>/</code> instance you also have to install the OX Guard UI-Static package on all Apache nodes in the cluster in order to provide static files like images or CSS to the OX Guard client. Example for Debian (the OX Guard repository has to be configured in the package management prior):<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">$ apt-get install open-xchange-guard-ui-static</source><br />
<br />
==== Open-Xchange ====<br />
<br />
Disable the Open-Xchange IPCheck for session verification. This is required because OX Guard will use the users session cookie to connect to the Open-Xchange REST API, but as a different IP address than the OX Guard server has been used during authentication the request would fail if you don't disable the IPCheck:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">$ vim /opt/open-xchange/etc/server.properties</source><br />
and set:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">com.openexchange.IPCheck=false</source><br />
The OX Guard UI package has to be installed on all Open-Xchange backend nodes as well, example for Debian (the OX Guard repository has to be configured in the package management prior):<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">$ apt-get install open-xchange-guard-ui</source><br />
Restart the Open-Xchange service afterwards.<br />
<br />
==== OX Guard ====<br />
<br />
For details in clustering Guard servers, please see [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:GuardCluster OX Guard Clustering]. It is '''critical''' that all Guard servers have the same <code>oxguardpass</code> file. Please see the clustering link for details. Do not run <code>/opt/open-xchange/sbin/guard --init</code> on more than one server.<br />
<br />
After all the services like MySQL, Apache and Open-Xchange have been configured you need to update the OX Guard backend configuration to point to the correct API endpoints. Set the REST API endpoint to an Apache server by setting the following value in <code>/opt/open-xchange/etc/guard-core.properties</code>:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">com.openexchange.guard.restApiHostname=apache.example.com</source><br />
Per default Guard will try to connect to port 8009 to this host, but as we configured the REST API to be proxies thorugh the servlet <code>/preliminary</code> on every Apache we now also need to change the target port for the REST API. You can do so by adding the following line into <code>/opt/open-xchange/etc/guard-core.properties</code>:<br />
<br />
<source lang="bash">com.openexchange.guard.oxBackendPort=80</source><br />
Please also change all settings in regards to MySQL like <code>com.openexchange.guard.configdbHostname</code>, <code>com.openexchange.guard.oxguardDatabaseHostname</code>, <code>com.openexchange.guard.databaseUsername</code> or <code>om.openexchange.guard.databasePassword</code>.<br />
<br />
Afterwards restart the OX Guard service and check the log file if the OX Guard backend is able to connect to the configured REST API.<br />
<br />
=== Multi Node ===<br />
<br />
If you have multiple OX and Guard installations, please see the following documentation [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_Guard_Modular OX Guard Modular Setup].<br />
<br />
=== Mail Filter Integration (2.10.4+) ===<br />
<br />
To add additional mail filter tests (verify PGP signature, or encrypt incoming), please see<br />
[[AppSuite:OX_Guard_MailFilter | MailFilter Integration]]<br />
<br />
== Support API ==<br />
<br />
The OX Guard Support API enables administrative access to various functions for maintaining OX Guard from a client in a role as a support employee. A client has to do a BASIC AUTH authentication in order to access the API. Username and password can be configured in the guard-core.properties file using the following settings:<br />
<br />
# Specify the username and password for accessing the Support API of Guard<br />
com.openexchange.guard.supportApiUsername=<br />
com.openexchange.guard.supportApiPassword=<br />
<br />
In contrast to the rest of the OX Guard requests, the OX Guard support API requests are accessible using: /guardsupport. This distinction allows more flexible configuration since the support API should not always be accessible from everywhere. <br />
<br />
'''Warning''': Exposing the support API to the internet could be huge security risk. Only add to Apache if you know what you are doing.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Reset password ===<br />
<br />
<code>POST /guardsupport/?action=reset_password</code><br />
<br />
Performs a password reset and sends a new random generated password to a specified email address by the user or a default address if the user did not specify an email address. (''Since Guard 2.0'')<br />
<br />
Parameters:<br />
<br />
* <code>email</code> – The email address of the user to reset the password for<br />
* <code>default</code> (optional) – The email address to send the new password to, if the user did not specify a secondary email address<br />
<br />
Response:<br />
PRIMARY if the reset was sent to the primary email address. SECONDARY if the reset email was sent to the secondary email address that the user specified<br />
<br />
=== Expose key ===<br />
<br />
<code>POST /guardsupport/?action=expose_key</code><br />
<br />
Marks a deleted user key temporary as “exposed” and creates a unique URL for downloading the exposed key. Automatic resetting of exposed keys to &quot;not exposed&quot; is scheduled once a day and resets all exposed keys which have been exposed before X hours, where X can be configured using com.openexchange.guard.exposedKeyDurationInHours in the guard.properties files. (''Since Guard 2.0'')<br />
<br />
Parameters:<br />
<br />
* <code>email</code> – The email address of the user to expose the deleted keys for<br />
* <code>cid</code> – The context id<br />
<br />
Response: A URL pointing to the downloadable exposed keys.<br />
<br />
=== Delete user ===<br />
<br />
<code>POST /guardsupport/?action=delete_user</code><br />
<br />
Deletes all keys related to a certain user. The keys are backed up and can be exposed using the “expose_key” call. (''Since Guard 2.0'')<br />
<br />
Parameters:<br />
<br />
* <code>user_id</code> – The user's id<br />
* <code>cid</code> - The context id<br />
<br />
=== Upgrade User (Release 2.10 and later) ===<br />
<br />
<code>POST /guardsupport/?action=upgrade_guest</code><br />
<br />
Upgrades a Guest account. This action copies all of the keys from the Guest account to a full OX account, assuming that user has Guard capabilities.<br />
<br />
Parameters:<br />
<br />
* <code>email</code> - The email address of the Guest user<br />
* <code>user_id</code> – The user's new id<br />
* <code>cid</code> - The user's new context id<br />
<br />
== Customisation ==<br />
<br />
Guard's templates are customisable at the user and context level. Please see [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:GuardCustomization Customisation] for details.<br />
<br />
== Entropy ==<br />
<br />
Guard requires entropy (randomness) to generate the private/public keys that are used. Depending on the server and it's environment, this may become a problem. Please see [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:GuardEntropy Entropy] for a possible solution.</div>Khgrashttps://wiki.open-xchange.com/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_System_Requirements&diff=29068AppSuite:OX System Requirements2026-05-12T10:02:55Z<p>Khgras: /* Linux Distributions */</p>
<hr />
<div>= OX App Suite v7 Requirements - Open-Xchange supported components overview =<br />
<br />
The following table provides an overview about the supported components of OX App Suite v7 and further products. This overview makes no claim to be complete.<br />
<br />
Information about Maintenance expiries of components, versions and browser support, can be found in the [[AppSuite:Versioning_and_Numbering#Maintenance_expires|Maintenance Expires Table]]<br />
<br />
== Hardware Requirements ==<br />
<br />
=== General Assumptions ===<br />
<br />
Open-Xchange App Suite Server (middleware services) is designed to run on physical servers or virtual machines of the same flavor. Cloud environments might be used in terms of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), meaning that all components need to be deployed in a classical manner on virtual machines.<br />
<br />
This means in particular, but not only:<br />
<br />
* Infrastructure is supposed to be "quasi-static". Automatic replacement of broken nodes is fine as long as this is always an exceptional case. Scaling out or reducing number of nodes must always be a conscious task and closely monitored.<br />
* The only supported "Database as a service" solution is AWS RDS for MariaDB as defined by belows compatibility table.<br />
<br />
Especially we expect the virtual hardware to be not over-provisioned. Each VM must have dedicated resources with respect to CPU cores, RAM, IOPS, storage, network bandwidth, network latency, etc.<br />
<br />
Network is expected to be flat, inside one datacenter, no multi-datacenter, no segments. No packet loss, low latency.<br />
<br />
'''Disclaimer: All recommendations below are without guarantee and can differ for specific deployments. For mid- and large-scale setups a detailed deployment planning and sizing tests are mandatory and should be agreed on with OX Professional Services.'''<br />
<br />
=== High Level Design / OS setup ===<br />
<br />
Operate services separately (USM, Document/Image Converters) as described in [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:Running_a_cluster Cluster Setup].<br />
<br />
Clocks between all nodes must be synchronized (e.g. via NTP).<br />
<br />
Open file/max process limits need to be adjusted properly. Based on the used Linux distribution and init system configuration will differ, see Resource Limits for further explanation.<br />
<br />
Platform Architecture: 64 bit versions (x84_64) of the supported [[#Software Requirements | Linux distributions]]<br />
<br />
=== Node Sizing ===<br />
<br />
==== OX App Suite Middleware ====<br />
<br />
* Max. 8 GB heap per JVM + 4 GB system memory for other daemons and the OS (buffers, caches)<br />
* 4 CPU cores (virtual, physical or hyperthreads) for plain HTTP connections. If TLS is terminated on application nodes this might need to be doubled.<br />
* Disk space<br />
** 8 GB for OS and software<br />
** Some services like Document Converter need SWAP partitions (~1 * RAM)<br />
** 2 * system memory of free disk space (i.e. 12 GB RAM => 24 GB free disk space) for file spooling, log files, heap and core dumps<br />
<br />
=== Untested/Unsupported Deployments ===<br />
<br />
* Changes to Garbage Collector settings<br />
* Running in containerized environments (Docker, rkt)<br />
* Elasticity/High velocity of nodes going up and down: Services are sometimes stateful and demand static configuration<br />
* Cloud platform services (PaaS) that promise to replacements for certain supported technologies but have not been verified by OX for these regards<br />
* Multi-site active-active<br />
<br />
== Software Requirements ==<br />
<br />
=== Linux Distributions ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite is available as Linux packages for the following distributions:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" id="ganz_oben"<br />
|'''Distribution'''<br />
|'''Versions'''<br />
|'''Remarks'''<br />
|- <br />
|&nbsp;<br />

|-<br />
| Univention Corporate Server<br />
| v5.2<br />
|<br />
|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
=== Java ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite Middleware requires OpenJDK headless JRE 8 or 9. Linux distributions might offer only packages for OpenJDK 11 JRE or higher, which are not suitable for OX App Suite. It is in those cases required to install Eclipse Temurin 8 JRE with HotSpot VM (successor of Adoptium). A comprehensive installation guide can be found at https://adoptium.net/de/installation/linux/. The correct JRE package is '''temurin-8-jdk'''.<br />
<br />
=== Databases ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite uses MySQL/MariaDB with the InnoDB storage engine as its primary data store. The following vendors and products are supported.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" id="ganz_oben"<br />

<br />
==== Important Notes ====<br />
<br />
* Open-Xchange does not plan to support '''MySQL 8 or higher'''. As MariaDB and MySQL are diverging and cannot be assumed drop-in replacements anymore, Open-Xchange will focus on MariaDB Server and MariaDB Galera Cluster. Future App Suite releases '''> 7.10.x''' might rely on features only available in '''MariaDB'''.<br />
* Open-Xchange supports '''Percona XtraDB Cluster''' for existing customers with initial deployments done using '''App Suite 7.8.x or earlier'''. Those customers can continue to use Percona XtraDB Cluster throughout the 7.10.x release series. Like for MySQL, 7.10.x supports only versions 5.6 and 5.7. It is not planned to support Percona XtraDB Cluster beyond 7.10.x.<br />
<br />
* For some Linux distributions the included MySQL/MariaDB packages are too old to be used with App Suite. It is mandatory then to install a supported version from '''upstream package sources'''. Possible sources are the official vendor repositories of MySQL or MariaDB as well as for example Red Hat Software Collections.<br />
* Required '''MySQL/MariaDB configuration''' configuration differs between '''App Suite 7.8.4 and 7.10.x''' and also between the different database systems in terms of SQL modes. See [[My.cnf]] for details.<br />
* For upgrades from App Suite <= 7.8.2 to >= 7.10.0 a comprehensive '''database upgrade guide''' exists: [[AppSuite:7_10_Database_Migration]]<br />
<br />
== HTTP Reverse Proxy ==<br />
<br />
An HTTP server with reverse proxy and load balancing capabilities is required in front of App Suite application servers. TLS termination, virtual hosts, path-based routing, sticky sessions and X-Forwarded headers are typical required features. OX strongly recommends [https://httpd.apache.org/ Apache httpd 2.x] for that. Configuration examples can be found in the quickinstall guides.<br />
<br />
'''Important:''' For websocket support Apache httpd 2.4.x is needed, 2.2.x does not support the required ws_tunnel module. Websockets are mandatory for OX Documents starting with v7.10.3. Like with JRE and MySQL/MariaDB it might be necessary to use 3rd party packages to get the needed Linux packages. Especially for RHEL6 we recommend using Red Hat Software Collections.<br />
<br />
== Webserver ==<br />
<br />
[https://httpd.apache.org/ Apache httpd 2.x] is required as webserver to serve static App Suite UI content. Configuration examples can be found in the quickinstall guides.<br />
<br />
== File Storage ==<br />
<br />
=== Temporary Data ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite stores temporary files in the local file system, e.g. for spooling of uploaded data. Any file system supported by the installed JRE is suitable.<br />
<br />
=== Persistent Data ===<br />
<br />
Persistent data like OX Drive files, PIM attachments etc. and temporary attachment data need to be stored in a distributed file system as registered filestore that is available from all server nodes. For single-node setups a local file system mount point can be used, small to mid-scale setups can be powered by NFS. For large-scale setups object storages should be considered.<br />
<br />
==== Object Storages ====<br />
<br />
OX App Suite ships with different optional adapters to support object storages.<br />

<div><div class="title">Updating OX App Suite packages</div><br />
<br />
''Synopsys'': This article describes how to update OX App Suite packages from one service pack to another.<br />
<br />
== Warnings ==<br />
<br />
Before we begin, here are several things that you should keep in mind:<br />
* If you are '''updating a cluster, please do it one node after the other'''. Turn the node off, update, turn it on again, make sure it works in the cluster. Have a look here, too: [[Running_a_cluster#Upgrading_a_single_Node|Upgrading a single node]]<br />
* If you don't have a cluster of OX nodes, then your complete installation needs to be taken down temporarily.<br />
* Please '''update the backend before the frontend'''.<br />
* Please '''do not restart Open-Xchange during the database update'''. A database update can happen after installing minor or major updates. As soon as the first user tries to log in to the system or if any provisioning action is done, this update starts.<br />
<br />
== How to get updates? ==<br />
<br />
OX App Suite updates can be accessed by customers with a valid license.<br />
<br />
In addition, you need to configure the [[OXReportClient]].<br />
<br />
= Updating OX App Suite Packages =<br />
<br />
<br />
== Installing Updates ==<br />
<br />
A new service pack usually introduces new packages and requires configuration changes. To get all required new packages and configuration changes, the following '''must''' be done when installing updates.<br />
<br />
(Please, keep the [[#Warning|warning about backend updates before frontend updates]] in mind)<br />
<br />
=== On Debian based distributions ===<br />

<br />
Then run<br />
<br />
$ apt-get update<br />
$ apt-get dist-upgrade<br />
<br />
Important: In case you are asked in the process if you would like to replace a configuration with the default delivered in the updated package please DO NOT replace but KEEP your existing configuration. In case something needs to be changed mandatorily this will be handled and modified by scripts which run after package installation automatically.<br />
<br />
If you want to see, what apt-get is going to do without actually doing it, you can run:<br />
<br />
$ apt-get dist-upgrade -s<br />

= Updating OX App Suite Packages for older versions =<br />
<br />
<br />
== Installing Updates ==<br />
<br />
A new service pack usually introduces new packages and requires configuration changes. To get all required new packages and configuration changes, the following '''must''' be done when installing updates.<br />
<br />
(Please, keep the [[#Warning|warning about frontend updates before backend updates]] in mind)<br />
<br />
=== On Debian based distributions ===<br />
<br />
If you want to update an older version of Open-Xchange App Suite to the latest maintenance release, add the following entry to <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/open-xchange.list</tt>. Replace VERSION with the version you are using (e.g. 7.10.3). See [[AppSuite:Version_Support_Commitment]] for the currently supported versions. Also, make sure that your repository configuration points at the versioned base installation repositories (instead of using the <tt>stable</tt> symlink.)<br />
<br />

deb http://CUSTOMERID:PASSWORD@software.open-xchange.com/products/appsuite/VERSION/backend/updates/DebianStretch /<br />
<br />
Then run<br />
<br />
$ apt-get update<br />
$ apt-get dist-upgrade<br />
<br />
If you want to see, what apt-get is going to do without actually doing it, you can run:<br />
<br />
$ apt-get dist-upgrade -s<br />
<br />
After the new packages are installed, the open-xchange process needs a restart:<br />
<br />
<pre>$ /etc/init.d/open-xchange restart</pre><br />
<br />
=== On RPM based distributions ===<br />
<br />
<!-- ==== RHEL6/CentOS6 (valid until v7.10.3) ====<br />

= Updating UI plugins =<br />
<br />
If you update only UI plugins without simultaneously upgrading the core UI packages to a new version, you need to perform an additional step after the update to make the changes visible to users.<br />
<br />
The package <tt>open-xchange-appsuite</tt> contains a timestamp which is different in each version. The JavaScript UI in every user's browser will reload all cached code and data whenever this value changes. Since this value does not change when updating only plugin packages, the value must be changed manually with the following command:<br />
<br />
$ /opt/open-xchange/sbin/touch-appsuite --timestamp=20170101.123400<br />
<br />
If you only have one OX node, the parameter <code>--timestamp</code> can be omitted. It defaults to the current UTC time anyway.<br />
<br />
When updating a cluster, the command must use the same timestamp value on every node. Otherwise, browsers will clear their cache and re-download the entire UI code every time load balancer sends them to a different node (i.e. on almost every login). This is also why the timestamps can't be updated automatically: a node doesn't know which value other nodes will pick, which of them are part of the same update, etc.<br />
<br />
The quickest way to obtain a value for the timestamp parameter is to run the command with the parameter <code>-h</code>. It will then print a help message with the current time as an example. For automation, you can use the output of<br />
<br />
date -u +%Y%m%d.%H%M%S<br />
<br />
Again: this value must be computed once, and then the same value must be used on every node in the cluster.<br />
<br />
This step can be performed on each node separately after each node has been updated, or on all nodes at once after all nodes have been updated. If Apache has its own set of dedicated nodes, the <tt>touch-appsuite</tt> call must be performed on the web server nodes, after all corresponding <tt><plugin>-static</tt> packages have been updated.<br />

<div>= OX Document Viewer =<br />
<br />
== Product Description ==<br />
<br />
The OX Document Viewer delivers plugin-free document viewing capabilities for Microsoft Office (.docx, .doc, .rtf, .pptx, .ppt, .xlsx, xls) and OpenDocument (.odt, .ods, .odp, .odg) file types as well as for the Portable Document Format (.pdf).<br />
It extends OX App Suite with content thumbnails and preview capabilities.<br />
<br />
== Requirements ==<br />
<br />
OX Document Viewer requires a 64bit system. 32bit systems are not supported.<br />
<br />
See the [[AppSuite:OX_System_Requirements|Open-Xchange software requirements page]] for details.<br />
<br />
The OX Document Viewer deployment consists of two functional modules, that need to be installed separately: the '''readerengine''' component and the '''Document Viewer''' component.<br />

== Configuration ==<br />
To enable document viewing for OX Drive the associated permission has to be set.<br />
<br />
The default setting for all users is changed in the file '''permissions.properties''' in the directory ''/opt/open-xchange/etc''.<br />
<br />
After installation the functionality is disabled:<br />
<pre><br />
# Default permissions for all users<br />
permissions=<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
The following line enables the functionality:<br />
<pre><br />
# Default permissions for all users<br />
permissions=document_preview<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
If there are already some permissions in this file, add ''document_preview'' separated with a comma.<br />
<br />
Further settings for the underlying readerengine are located in the file '''documentconverter.properties''' located in the directory "/opt/open-xchange/etc" as described below.<br />
<br />
Note: Document conversion service and OX App Suite backend may be run on different nodes. See the configuration item ''com.openexchange.documentconverter.RemoteBaseUrl'' for details.<br />
<br />
{{AppSuite:ReaderEngineConfig}}<br />
<br />
<br />
== Caches ==<br />
<br />
Conversion results are cached as images for thumbnail/preview/viewer. There are caches in the backend filestore and at each documentconverter involved.<br />
<br />
=== Caching Strategy ===<br />
<br />
Starting with the 7.4.1 release the .../documentconverter/readerengine.cache directory is persistent and kept alive between OX backend shutdowns/startups.<br />
<br />
In addition a backend configured as a remote document converton service this service is able to act as a remote cache server. Similar to setting the 'RemoteBaseURL' within the documentconverter properties of the 'client' backends wrt. the documentconverter functionality, it is now possible to set RemoteCacheURLs. The lookup of converter results happens as follows:<br />
<br />
* the lookup of a cache entry is based upon the unique checksum of the source file as well as some conversion properties (e.g. target format, target size etc.)<br />
<br />
* if a converter backend is not able to find a cache entry within its runtime structures, the local - now persistent - readerengine.cache directory is looked up for a cache entry to be recreated from filesystem<br />
<br />
* if there's still no cache entry available and one or more RemoteCacheURLs are set, each given CacheURL Host is tried to retrieve a valid cache entry from<br />
<br />
* if a remote cache entry is found, this entry is added to the local cache of the requesting converter<br />
<br />
* if no remote cache entry can be found, the conversion is done locally, a cache entry is created locally (persistent) and also transferred to the first entry of the RemoteCacheURLs, acting as a master cache server in this case <br />
<br />
<br />
=== Cleaning Caches ===<br />
<br />
In case you want to clean the caches follow these two steps.<br />
<br />
Use the command line tool for each affected context:<br />
<br />
/opt/open-xchange/sbin/clearpreviewcache -c <CONTEXT ID><br />
<br />
Furthermore remove the content of the documentconverter cache directory manually at each conversion node. Before cleaning/removing the documentconverter cache directory, the OX backend node running the documentconverter, should be shut down in order to properly recreate the runtime information for the local cache. The local documentconverter cache location is defined by the following configuration property:<br />
<br />
/opt/open-xchange/etc/documentconverter.properties<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
# The directory, containing the cache for persistent, huge job data at runtime<br />
# Default value: "/var/spool/open-xchange/documentconverter/readerengine.cache"<br />
com.openexchange.documentconverter.cacheDir=/var/spool/open-xchange/documentconverter/readerengine.cache<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
After the cleanup of both caches new conversions will be triggered for<br />
thumbnails, previews and viewer images.</div>Khgrashttps://wiki.open-xchange.com/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:Versioning_and_Numbering&diff=29065AppSuite:Versioning and Numbering2026-05-07T12:56:57Z<p>Khgras: /* Maintenance expired (Archive) */</p>

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March - As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />
|End of March 2026<br />

|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android - The app was removed from Google Play Store.

|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|End of Life CloudAPI v1 - As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

<br />
The Open-Xchange versioning will be structured in the following way:<br><br><br />
'''<generation>.<major release>.<minor release> Rev<build number>'''<br><br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"<br />
!align="left" |Abbreviation<br />
!align="left" |Meaning<br />
!align="left" |Comparison<br />
|-<br />
|<generation><br />
|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />
|-<br />
|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<build number><br />
|The Rev-number (Revision) shows the progress of the development in single steps<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />

|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android - The app was removed from Google Play Store. From this point users will no longer be able to download the app. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Sync app in 2026, both on OX App Suite and on the OX Sync app itself.<br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1 - As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />
|End of December 2025<br />

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March<br />
|As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />
|End of March 2026<br />
|-<br />
|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android<br />
|Will be discontinued in Q1 / Q2 2026. The app will be removed from Google Play Store Q1 / Q2 2026. From this point users will no longer be able to download the app. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Sync app as Q1 / Q2 2026, both on OX App Suite and on the OX Sync app itself.<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />
|End of December 2025<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Open-Xchange introduced the new OX Drive app v3 for Apple iOS beginning of 2022. This new OX Drive app for Apple iOS, now called "OX Drive by Open-Xchange", is an intelligent file synchronization app for iOS phones and tablets. With this new generation app, Open-Xchange provides a seamless integration into Apple’s app ecosystem and into the system’s own file browser, the Files app. This new OX Drive app replaced the previous OX Drive app v2. We would like to notify you that support for the OX Drive app v2 for Apple iOS will be discontinued from the 3rd of April. With this date, Open-Xchange will remove the app from the Apple App Store. Existing users can continue to use the app but no new users will be able to download it. At the same time Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support it. The new OX Drive app is available at https://apps.apple.com/de/app/ox-drive-by-open-xchange/id1585939206. Existing users of the legacy app can also easily upgrade to the new version by following the "New app available" entry in the navigation panel.<br />

Our second-generation product, OX App Suite, launched five years ago in early 2013, and as a consequence we have decided to discontinue support of Open-Xchange Server 6 and end all maintenance activities.<br>Please note: Open-Xchange Server 6 packages will still be available on our software repositories and will work with the middleware version v7.8.4. but we will not provide any support and maintenance activities.

|Since 2019-03-31<br />
|-<br />
|Up until now Open-Xchange has provided support for installations of OX App Suite 7.10.x on Debian Jessie. OX App Suite v7.10.x requires OpenJDK 8; OpenJDK 8 is a backport on Debian Jessie and Debian Jessie is currently in LTS (Long Term Support). Recently we have found out that the support for this backport in Debian Jessie has now been discontinued. This means that Debian Jessie no longer supports the required OpenJDK 8. Due to the above situation we regrettably have to inform you that support of OX App Suite v7.10.x and any future version on Debian Jessie must be discontinued from the 2019-03-31. Open-Xchange encourages administrators to regularly update to the latest available platform releases. To ensure a stable and up to date environment please note the different versions supported.

<br />
{{VersionFrom|7.8.1}}<br />
<br />
With version 7.10.5 we introduced a new wizard.<br />
This config is still valid since the old wizard can still be enabled via setting.<br />
See https://documentation.open-xchange.com/7.10.5/ui/configuration/settings-list-of.html#onboarding for details on the new wizard. <br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
= Configuration guide for Open-Xchange Client Onboarding =<br />
<br />
With Open-Xchange Server v7.8.1 a new module is added allowing users to integrate several different clients and devices with Open-Xchange; such as providing a link to a commercial App Store to install certain apps on mobile devices.<br />
<br />
By default, Open-Xchange ships with several built-in providers; thereof<br />
<br />
* CalDAV<br />
* CardDAV<br />
* OX Drive App<br />
* Microsoft ActiveSync<br />
* Mail (IMAP/SMTP)<br />
* Generic Mobile App provider<br />
<br />
Those providers allow accessing and/or synchronizing with certain data held by Open-Xchange on a supported device.<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
<br />
To install the Client Onboarding module, the package open-xchange-client-onboarding needs to be installed.<br />
<br />
Moreover the property <code>"com.openexchange.client.onboarding.enabled"</code>; in installed file <code>/opt/open-xchange/etc/client-onboarding.properties</code> needs to be set to <code>"true"</code> (default). So getting rid off the entire client on-boarding module simply requires setting the mentioned property to <code>"false"</code> (and executing <code>/opt/open-xchange/sbin/reloadconfiguration</code> command-line tool).<br />
<br />
== Onboarding scenarios ==<br />
<br />
The way to specify what and how a certain device is able to get “on-boarded” is mainly determined by so called scenarios. A scenario describes what gets deployed using which providers that contribute their onboarding possibilities and how it is made accessible to the client’s device.<br />
<br />
A scenario consists of the following configuration attributes/options<br />
<br />
* A unique scenario identifier<br />
* A flag determining if scenario is enabled or not. If set to 'false' the scenario will not be available, useful for testing/enabling the scenario later on<br />
* A scenario type, which is one of &quot;plist&quot;, &quot;manual&quot;, or &quot;link&quot;<br />
** &quot;plist&quot; for generating a PLIST configuration file for iOS and OSX devices,<br />
** &quot;manual&quot; for a description for the user for a manual set-up/configuration<br />
** &quot;link&quot; for a link/URL to either Apple App Store / Google Play Store or to downloadable executable<br />
* The &quot;link&quot; attribute, which is only considered it type is set to &quot;link&quot;. That attribute consists of the sub-attributes &quot;url&quot; and &quot;type&quot;.<br />
** &quot;url&quot; provides the actual link/URL to Apple App Store, Apple Mac Store Google Play Store or to downloadable executable. For specifying a property that provides the actual link, please use special &quot;property&quot; scheme; e.g. &quot;property://com.openexchange.client.onboarding.app.mylink&quot;<br />
** &quot;type&quot; indicates if &quot;url&quot; holds a link for either Apple App Store, Apple Mac Store or Google Play Store. Must only be specified in case &quot;url&quot; points either of those commercial stores. Supported values are &quot;appstore&quot;, &quot;macstore&quot; and &quot;playstore&quot;<br />
* The identifiers for the providers, which contribute to the scenario;<br /><br />
please check command-line tool <code>/opt/open-xchange/sbin/listonboardingproviders</code> to check, which ones are available<br />
* The identifiers for alternative scenarios. This is typically used to provide alternative manual setup possibility.<br />
* The comma-separated names of Font Awesome icons that are supposed to be displayed for the scenario<br /><br />
(only the ones from v4.4.0 are currently supported)<br />
* The translatable display name; check <code>/opt/open-xchange/sbin/parsei18nyaml</code> command-line tool to generate a .pot file from translatable texts<br />
* The translatable description; check <code>/opt/open-xchange/sbin/parsei18nyaml</code> command-line tool to generate a .pot file from translatable texts<br />
<br />
== Onboarding providers ==<br />
<br />
As described in the previous section, a scenario specifies what providers contribute to it. A provider represents a certain App or (synchronization) protocol that a device can install, download and/or communicate with.<br />
<br />
Moreover a provider specifies what Onboarding types are supported (&quot;plist&quot;, &quot;manual&quot;, and/or &quot;link&quot;). Hence, once a provider is chosen to contribute to a certain scenario, the supported on-boarding type needs to match the one of the scenario itself. E.g. a scenario, which indicates to be of type &quot;link&quot;, will always fail if the associated provider signals to support types &quot;plist&quot; and &quot;manual&quot;.<br />
<br />
To check what providers are available on your system, please execute the <code>/opt/open-xchange/sbin/listonboardingproviders</code> command-line tool, which outputs something like:<br />
<br />
[[File:onboarding_1.png]]<br />
<br />
Each provider might require one or more capabilities/permissions to be available for the requesting user. If capabilities/permissions are not satisfied, the associated scenario cannot be applied, but will be displayed to the user for upsell opportunities.<br />
<br />
=== Generic Onboarding provider for Apps ===<br />
<br />
Identifier: <code>app</code><br />
<br />
The generic onboarding provider for apps allows specifying custom scenarios of type &quot;link&quot; for arbitrary links/URLs pointing to Apple App Store, Apple Mac Store Google Play Store or to downloadable executable. The link can be set directly or via a property.<br />
<br />
This provider requires no capability/permission.<br />
<br />
An exemplary section in the <code>/opt/open-xchange/etc/client-onboarding-scenarios.yml</code> YAML file might look like (check &quot;Configuring Onboarding scenarios&quot; chapter for more details):<br />
<br />
[[File:onboarding_2.png]]<br />
<br />
=== CalDAV/CardDAV ===<br />
<br />
Identifiers: <code>caldav</code> &amp; <code>carddav</code><br />
<br />
In order for a scenario (having CalDAV/CardDAV in its provider listing) to be executable by a user, the &quot;caldav&quot; capability and &quot;carddav&quot; capability respectively are required.<br />
<br />
Moreover, the appropriate *DAV end-points are supposed to be configured through property <code>com.openexchange.client.onboarding.caldav.url</code> in <code>client-onboarding-caldav.properties</code> file and property <code>com.openexchange.client.onboarding.carddav.url</code> in <code>client-onboarding-carddav.properties</code> file.<br />
<br />
=== Drive/Mail Apps ===<br />
<br />
Identifiers: <code>driveapp</code> &amp; <code>mailapp</code><br />
<br />
Open-Xchange ships with built-in providers for Drive App and Mail App. The Drive-associated providers do require the &quot;drive&quot; capability and the Mail App requires the &quot;mobile_mail_app&quot; one.<br />
<br />
The appropriate links to the apps in the corresponding stores are configured in associated .properties files:<br />
<br />
* <code>client-onboarding-driveapp.properties</code><br />
* <code>client-onboarding-mailapp.properties</code><br />
<br />
By default the links to the official apps are set, but may be changed to ones for branded versions.<br />
<br />
=== Drive Windows Client ===<br />
<br />
Identifier: <code>drivewindowsclient</code><br />
<br />
The provider for the windows Drive Client. Requires the &quot;drive&quot; capability, but has no configuration options. However, this provider requires the &quot;open-xchange-drive-client-windows&quot; and the orderly configured binaries (e.g. through installing appropriate package according to the brand).<br />
<br />
Please check [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_Drive#OX_Drive_for_Windows ''this''] documentation for more details.<br />
<br />
=== Mail (IMAP/SMTP) ===<br />
<br />
Identifier: <code>mail</code><br />
<br />
The provider for deploying the IMAP/STMP account on target device using native/stock mail app. All IMAP/SMTP related settings are settable in file 'client-onboarding-mail.properties'.<br />
<br />
=== Microsoft ActiveSync (EAS) ===<br />
<br />
Identifier: <code>eas</code><br />
<br />
Configures the ActiveSync account on target device. Allows specifying the EAS end-point through <code>com.openexchange.client.onboarding.eas.url</code> property in 'client-onboarding-eas.properties'.<br />
<br />
== Configuring Onboarding scenarios ==<br />
<br />
Onboarding scenarios are configured through the <code>/opt/open-xchange/etc/client-onboarding-scenarios.yml</code> YAML file. Each scenario starts with its own &quot;section&quot; in that YAML file by typing its unique identifier. All further attributes as outlined in chapter &quot;Onboarding scenarios&quot; are nested below that identifier.<br />
<br />
=== Easily enabling/disabling scenarios ===<br />
<br />
By default, Open-Xchange ships with a set of pre-defined scenarios that might apply to the most common installations. Each scenario can easily be enabled/disabled through its &quot;enabled&quot; Boolean attribute in the <code>/opt/open-xchange/etc/client-onboarding-scenarios.yml</code> YAML file. Executing <code>/opt/open-xchange/sbin/reloadconfiguration</code> command-line tool applies the changes without the need for restart.<br />
<br />
=== Translatable strings ===<br />
<br />
Those attributes ending with &quot;_t10e&quot; refer to localizable strings and are placed into &quot;client-onboarding-scenarios.pot&quot; file. Once such attributes ending with &quot;_t10e&quot; are changed/customized and/or added, the appropriate &quot;client-onboarding-scenarios.pot&quot; file needs to be re-created in order to get translated. For generating that &quot;client-onboarding-scenarios.pot&quot; file, please execute the /opt/open-xchange/sbin/parsei18nyaml command-line tool. That .pot file needs then be turned to the .po files for the individual languages.<br />
<br />
Thus changing any of the attributes ending with &quot;_t10e&quot; requires (provided that appropriate .po files are available in <code>/opt/open-xchange/i18n</code> directory) either a restart or executing <code>/opt/open-xchange/sbin/reloadconfiguration</code> command-line tool together with stop/start of the &quot;com.openexchange.i18n&quot; bundle.<br />
<br />
=== Scenarios' scope and order ===<br />
<br />
While the previously mentioned &quot;enabled&quot; attribute offers some kind of generic on/off switch, the properties outlined in this section allow defining the device-scope for a scenario and in which order/precedence they are offered to the client. Scope in terms of<br />
<br />
* For what devices (from the set of those specified by providers) are what scenarios in which order available and<br />
* For which users they are available<br />
<br />
As explained above, each scenario specifies one or more type-compatible providers associated with it. In turn, each provider determines to which devices the scenario applies. In order to further control, which device and which users are allowed to access a certain scenario, there are appropriate options available in file <code>/opt/open-xchange/etc/client-onboarding.properties</code>. Every option is fully [http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=ConfigCascade ''config-cascade''] aware and therefore can be controlled on a global, per context set, per context and per user basis.<br />
<br />
Thus, to make a scenario available for certain devices (as dictated by scenario’s providers) and for users as well, the scenario identifier needs to be added to the appropriate properties ending with &quot;.scenarios&quot; (for devices) and added to the &quot;com.openexchange.client.onboarding.enabledScenarios&quot; property (for user) as well.<br />
<br />
The following properties accept a comma-separated list of scenario identifiers. The order of listed scenarios reflects the order in which they are offered to the client<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
com.openexchange.client.onboarding.apple.mac.scenarios<br /><br />
com.openexchange.client.onboarding.apple.ipad.scenarios<br /><br />
com.openexchange.client.onboarding.apple.iphone.scenarios<br /><br />
com.openexchange.client.onboarding.android.tablet.scenarios<br /><br />
com.openexchange.client.onboarding.android.phone.scenarios<br /><br />
com.openexchange.client.onboarding.windows.desktop.scenarios<br />
<br />
com.openexchange.client.onboarding.enabledScenarios<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<blockquote><br />
com.openexchange.client.onboarding.apple.iphone.scenarios=mailappinstall, driveappinstall, eassync, mailsync, davsync<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
This exemplary setting specifies that Drive App, EAS, Native Mail (IMAP/SMTP) and CalDAV/CardDAV are available in given order for iPhone devices.<br />
<br />
Once a scenario is made accessible through configuration it is visible to users trying to perform a client onboarding using one of associated devices. However, whether a user is effectively allowed to execute that scenario is determined by the required capabilities of the denoted providers; if not allowed it gets displayed as an upsell opportunity.<br />
<br />
=== Configuring actions ===<br />
<br />
The type for a scenario determines what actions are associated with it to &quot;''transport''&quot; the onboarding information to the client. The types &quot;manual&quot; and &quot;link&quot; only show static information like displaying a link. In contrast the type &quot;plist&quot; allows several actions to transport the configuration profile onto the client. Thereof<br />
<br />
* E-Mail<br />
* SMS<br />
<br />
In order to utilize the &quot;E-Mail&quot; action, a special transport must be configured for system-composed E-Mails [http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:Sharing_and_Guest_Mode#Share_Notifications ''as it is for using the sharing functionality'']. This transport is configured in noreply.properties. All properties therein are config-cascade capable, so their values can be sensitive to the current user or context.<br />
<br />
Using the SMS action requires an according implementation being available. OX App Suite comes with an optional sipgate implementation. Please check [http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:SMS_Sipgate ''this documentation''] how to setup App Suite accordingly.<br />
<br />
==== Implementing your own SMS gateway ====<br />
<br />
To use an SMS gateway other than sipgate, you can provide your own implementation. Therefore the Java interface <code>com.openexchange.sms.SMSServiceSPI</code> needs to be implemented and published as an OSGi service. For parsing phone numbers provided by users <code>com.openexchange.sms.PhoneNumberParserService</code> can be used. That one is also available as an OSGi service and can be tracked accordingly. You can have a look at bundle <code>com.openexchange.sms.sipgate</code> as implementation reference.<br />
<br />
'''Important:''' You must not install the <code>open-xchange-sms-sipgate</code> package if you provide your own implementation.<br />
<br />
==== PLIST-signing ====<br />
Scenarios of type &quot;plist&quot; require having PLIST-signing enabled. Otherwise the device will show a warning when importing a received PLIST configuration profile. Please follow the instructions as outlined in [http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:PList_signing ''this article''] how to enable and configure signing for PLIST files.<br />
<br />
== Adding custom scenarios ==<br />
<br />
The first thing to do, is to add an appropriate scenario configuration to the 'client-onboarding-scenarios.yml' file; e.g.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
mygoogleapp:<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;enabled: true<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;type: link<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;link:<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;url: http://play.google.com/store/apps?id=mygoogleapp.invalid<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;type: playstore<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;image: http://my.fine.host/image001.png<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;providers: [app]<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;alternatives: []<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;icon: fa-cloud<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;displayName_t10e: &quot;My App for synchronizing files&quot;<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;description_t10e: &quot;Synchronize your files with our Drive application.&quot;<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
The next step is to make that scenario accessible through adapting 'client-onboarding.properties' file. Hence, the scenario identifier needs to be added to the devices, to which it applies (Android devices in this case):<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
com.openexchange.client.onboarding.android.tablet.scenarios=..., mygoogleapp<br /><br />
com.openexchange.client.onboarding.android.phone.scenarios=..., mygoogleapp<br />
</blockquote><br />
Furthermore, that scenario needs to be made accessible to users as well:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
com.openexchange.client.onboarding.enabledScenarios=..., mygoogleapp<br />
</blockquote><br />
At last, a .pot file is supposed to be generated from the translatable strings using /opt/open-xchange/sbin/parsei18nyaml command-line tool to yield the .po files for the individual languages.<br />
<br />
Provided that target users do hold appropriate capabilities, they are allowed to execute that scenario. In the example above the &quot;app&quot; provider is specified, which does no require any capabilities. Hence, that scenario is available.<br />
<br />
== HowTos ==<br />
<br />
=== How can I quickly setup a default/test configuration ? ===<br />
<br />
# Install open-xchange-client-onboarding package<br />
# Edit <code>/opt/open-xchange/etc/client-onboarding.properties</code> and set <code>com.openexchange.client.onboarding.enabled</code> to <code>true</code> <br />
# Edit <code>noreply.properties</code> to enable autoconfig sending via email. PS: Have a fully working smtp login available like “noreply@yourdomain.tld”<br />
# Edit client-onboarding-scenarios.yml and set “enable” for : “driveappinstall” , “davsync” “davmanual” “mailsync” “mailmanual” to <code>true</code> <br />
# Now set the correct caldav/carddav server FQDNs in the corresponding files for your setup<br />
#*<code>client-onboarding-caldav.properties</code> <br />
#*<code>client-onboarding-carddav.properties</code><br />
# Restart OX process<br />
# Login to AppSuite. Click on Settings - Connect your device<br />
# Verify that you have following onboarding options available: <br />
#* windows -> imap/smtp details<br />
#* android/fon+tablet -> imap/smtp details<br />
#* android/fon+tablet -> drive app <br />
#* apple -> iphone -> imap/smtp config button<br />
#* apple -> iphone -> imap/smtp details for experts<br />
#* apple -> iphone -> calendar/addressbok -> config button<br />
#* apple -> iphone -> calendar/addressbok -> details for dav setup<br />
#* apple -> iphone -> drive app<br />
#* apple -> ipad -> imap/smtp config send email<br />
#* apple -> ipad -> imap/smtp config button<br />
#* apple -> ipad -> imap/smtp details for experts<br />
#* apple -> ipad -> calendar/addressbook config send email<br />
#* apple -> ipad -> calendar/addressbook config button<br />
#* apple -> ipad -> calendar/addressbook details for experts<br />
#* apple -> ipad -> drive app<br />
<br />
=== How can I quickly disable a certain scenario ===<br />
<br />
Simply enter the 'client-onboarding-scenarios.yml' file and go to the section specifying the target scenario. Switch the 'enabled' flag to &quot;false&quot; and execute /opt/open-xchange/sbin/reloadconfiguration command-line tool.<br />
<br />
E.g. to disable the OX Drive App:<br />
<br />
[[File:onboarding_3.png]]<br />
<br />
=== How can I disable the outdated ui parts like 'Downloads'? ===<br />
<br />
The wizard replaces and extends the functionality of the old Download Section in settings and the corresponding widgets. We recommend to disable these outdated parts:<br />
# widget: get ox drive<br />
# widget: update<br />
# settings entry: downloads<br />
<br />
'''Remove settings section 'Downloads' '''<br />
<br />
Edit ''/opt/open-xchange/etc/settings/appsuite.properties'' and add or change the value to true:<br />
* ''io.ox/core//settings/downloadsDisabled''<br />
<br />
'''Remove widgets'''<br />
<br />
To remove the both related portal widget/tiles please refer to the<br />
[[AppSuite:Configuring_portal_plugins#Disabling_a_tile_completely | portal plugins wiki page ]]<br />
<br />
* ''io.ox/portal/widget/oxdriveclients''<br />
* ''io.ox/portal/widget/updater''<br />
<br />
=== How can I add my own App? ===<br />
<br />
Provided that the App is accessible by a link (pointing to a commercial App Store or to a downloadable executable/installer), the generic &quot;app&quot; is the suitable provider to choose.<br />
<br />
Hence, an appropriate section is supposed to be added to the 'client-onboarding-scenarios.yml' file having a unique name and &quot;provider&quot; attribute set to &quot;[app]&quot;:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
mygoogleapp:<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;enabled: true<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;type: link<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;link:<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;url: http://play.google.com/store/apps?id=mygoogleapp.invalid<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;type: playstore<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;image: http://my.fine.host/image001.png<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;providers: [app]<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;alternatives: []<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;icon: fa-cloud<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;displayName_t10e: &quot;My App for synchronizing files&quot;<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;description_t10e: &quot;Synchronize your files with our Drive application.&quot;<br />
</blockquote><br />
The attribute &quot;type&quot; needs to be set to &quot;link&quot;.<br />
<br />
The attribute &quot;link&quot; should be configured with:<br />
<br />
* &quot;url&quot; sub-attribute containing the actual link pointing to the URL location<br />
* &quot;type&quot; sub-attribute specifying of what type that link is: either &quot;appstore&quot;, &quot;macappstore&quot;, &quot;playstore&quot; or &quot;common&quot;. The type &quot;common&quot; is supposed to be used for links that do not point to a commercial App Store, but to a downloadable executable/installer file.<br />
* &quot;image&quot; sub-attribute containing the link pointing to the App's image. Supported with v7.8.4<br />
<br />
The &quot;icon&quot; attribute is supposed to contain a comma-separated list of Font Awesome icons (only the ones from v4.4.0 are currently supported) that represent the App; e.g.<br />
<br />
* &quot;fa-cloud&quot; for Drive/file-related nature<br />
* &quot;fa-calendar, fa-users&quot; for Calendar and Address Book synchronization<br />
* &quot;fa-envelope-o&quot; for Mail nature<br />
<br />
Next, the translatable display name and description should be set through setting the attributes &quot;displayName_t10e&quot; and &quot;description_t10e&quot;. As described previously, executing the /opt/open-xchange/sbin/parsei18nyaml command-line tool yields an appropriate .pot file, which can then be used for generating the individual .po file for the different translations.<br />
<br />
Finally, the 'client-onboarding.properties' file needs to be modified to specify the &quot;scope&quot; for that new scenario. Add the scenario’s unique name to the appropriate device properties and add it to &quot;com.openexchange.client.onboarding.enabledScenarios&quot; property as well.<br />
<br />
After executing /opt/open-xchange/sbin/reloadconfiguration command-line tool the new client onboarding scenario is available for the selected users/devices.<br />
<br />
=== How can I upsell my own app? ===<br />
<br />
Having the same prerequisites/steps as for &quot;How can I add my own App?&quot; the scenario description in the 'client-onboarding-scenarios.yml' file simply needs to be extended by the desired capabilities, which are supposed to be used for managing the upsell.<br />
<br />
Example<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
mygoogleapp:<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;enabled: true<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;type: link<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;link:<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;url: http://play.google.com/store/apps?id=mygoogleapp.invalid<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;type: playstore<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;'''capabilities: &quot;mygoogleapp_capability&quot;'''<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;providers: [app]<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;alternatives: []<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;icon: fa-cloud<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;displayName_t10e: &quot;My App for synchronizing files&quot;<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;description_t10e: &quot;Synchronize your files with our Drive application.&quot;<br />
</blockquote><br />
The special &quot;capabilities&quot; attribute is only supported for scenarios of type &quot;link&quot; with the special &quot;app&quot; provider.<br />
<br />
With such a &quot;capabilities&quot; attribute only users, which have the &quot;mygoogleapp_capability&quot; capability are allowed to get the link. For those who don’t, the upsell opportunity will be displayed; e.g.<br />

<div>= OX App Suite v7 Requirements - Open-Xchange supported components overview =<br />
<br />
The following table provides an overview about the supported components of OX App Suite v7 and further products. This overview makes no claim to be complete.<br />
<br />
Information about Maintenance expiries of components, versions and browser support, can be found in the [[AppSuite:Versioning_and_Numbering#Maintenance_expires|Maintenance Expires Table]]<br />
<br />
== Hardware Requirements ==<br />
<br />
=== General Assumptions ===<br />
<br />
Open-Xchange App Suite Server (middleware services) is designed to run on physical servers or virtual machines of the same flavor. Cloud environments might be used in terms of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), meaning that all components need to be deployed in a classical manner on virtual machines.<br />
<br />
This means in particular, but not only:<br />
<br />
* Infrastructure is supposed to be "quasi-static". Automatic replacement of broken nodes is fine as long as this is always an exceptional case. Scaling out or reducing number of nodes must always be a conscious task and closely monitored.<br />
* The only supported "Database as a service" solution is AWS RDS for MariaDB as defined by belows compatibility table.<br />
<br />
Especially we expect the virtual hardware to be not over-provisioned. Each VM must have dedicated resources with respect to CPU cores, RAM, IOPS, storage, network bandwidth, network latency, etc.<br />
<br />
Network is expected to be flat, inside one datacenter, no multi-datacenter, no segments. No packet loss, low latency.<br />
<br />
'''Disclaimer: All recommendations below are without guarantee and can differ for specific deployments. For mid- and large-scale setups a detailed deployment planning and sizing tests are mandatory and should be agreed on with OX Professional Services.'''<br />
<br />
=== High Level Design / OS setup ===<br />
<br />
Operate services separately (USM, Document/Image Converters) as described in [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:Running_a_cluster Cluster Setup].<br />
<br />
Clocks between all nodes must be synchronized (e.g. via NTP).<br />
<br />
Open file/max process limits need to be adjusted properly. Based on the used Linux distribution and init system configuration will differ, see Resource Limits for further explanation.<br />
<br />
Platform Architecture: 64 bit versions (x84_64) of the supported [[#Software Requirements | Linux distributions]]<br />
<br />
=== Node Sizing ===<br />
<br />
==== OX App Suite Middleware ====<br />
<br />
* Max. 8 GB heap per JVM + 4 GB system memory for other daemons and the OS (buffers, caches)<br />
* 4 CPU cores (virtual, physical or hyperthreads) for plain HTTP connections. If TLS is terminated on application nodes this might need to be doubled.<br />
* Disk space<br />
** 8 GB for OS and software<br />
** Some services like Document Converter need SWAP partitions (~1 * RAM)<br />
** 2 * system memory of free disk space (i.e. 12 GB RAM => 24 GB free disk space) for file spooling, log files, heap and core dumps<br />
<br />
=== Untested/Unsupported Deployments ===<br />
<br />
* Changes to Garbage Collector settings<br />
* Running in containerized environments (Docker, rkt)<br />
* Elasticity/High velocity of nodes going up and down: Services are sometimes stateful and demand static configuration<br />
* Cloud platform services (PaaS) that promise to replacements for certain supported technologies but have not been verified by OX for these regards<br />
* Multi-site active-active<br />
<br />
== Software Requirements ==<br />
<br />
=== Linux Distributions ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite is available as Linux packages for the following distributions:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" id="ganz_oben"<br />
|'''Distribution'''<br />
|'''Versions'''<br />
|'''Remarks'''<br />
|- <br />
|&nbsp;<br />
|&nbsp;<br />
|&nbsp;<br />
|-<br />
| Red Hat Enterprise Linux<br />
| RHEL v7, RHEL v8<br />

|<br />
|-<br />
| Univention Corporate Server<br />
| v5.2<br />
|<br />
|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
=== Java ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite Middleware requires OpenJDK headless JRE 8 or 9. Linux distributions might offer only packages for OpenJDK 11 JRE or higher, which are not suitable for OX App Suite. It is in those cases required to install Eclipse Temurin 8 JRE with HotSpot VM (successor of Adoptium). A comprehensive installation guide can be found at https://adoptium.net/de/installation/linux/. The correct JRE package is '''temurin-8-jdk'''.<br />
<br />
=== Databases ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite uses MySQL/MariaDB with the InnoDB storage engine as its primary data store. The following vendors and products are supported.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" id="ganz_oben"<br />
|'''Vendor'''<br />

<br />
==== Important Notes ====<br />
<br />
* Open-Xchange does not plan to support '''MySQL 8 or higher'''. As MariaDB and MySQL are diverging and cannot be assumed drop-in replacements anymore, Open-Xchange will focus on MariaDB Server and MariaDB Galera Cluster. Future App Suite releases '''> 7.10.x''' might rely on features only available in '''MariaDB'''.<br />
* Open-Xchange supports '''Percona XtraDB Cluster''' for existing customers with initial deployments done using '''App Suite 7.8.x or earlier'''. Those customers can continue to use Percona XtraDB Cluster throughout the 7.10.x release series. Like for MySQL, 7.10.x supports only versions 5.6 and 5.7. It is not planned to support Percona XtraDB Cluster beyond 7.10.x.<br />
<br />
* For some Linux distributions the included MySQL/MariaDB packages are too old to be used with App Suite. It is mandatory then to install a supported version from '''upstream package sources'''. Possible sources are the official vendor repositories of MySQL or MariaDB as well as for example Red Hat Software Collections.<br />
* Required '''MySQL/MariaDB configuration''' configuration differs between '''App Suite 7.8.4 and 7.10.x''' and also between the different database systems in terms of SQL modes. See [[My.cnf]] for details.<br />
* For upgrades from App Suite <= 7.8.2 to >= 7.10.0 a comprehensive '''database upgrade guide''' exists: [[AppSuite:7_10_Database_Migration]]<br />
<br />
== HTTP Reverse Proxy ==<br />
<br />
An HTTP server with reverse proxy and load balancing capabilities is required in front of App Suite application servers. TLS termination, virtual hosts, path-based routing, sticky sessions and X-Forwarded headers are typical required features. OX strongly recommends [https://httpd.apache.org/ Apache httpd 2.x] for that. Configuration examples can be found in the quickinstall guides.<br />
<br />
'''Important:''' For websocket support Apache httpd 2.4.x is needed, 2.2.x does not support the required ws_tunnel module. Websockets are mandatory for OX Documents starting with v7.10.3. Like with JRE and MySQL/MariaDB it might be necessary to use 3rd party packages to get the needed Linux packages. Especially for RHEL6 we recommend using Red Hat Software Collections.<br />
<br />
== Webserver ==<br />
<br />
[https://httpd.apache.org/ Apache httpd 2.x] is required as webserver to serve static App Suite UI content. Configuration examples can be found in the quickinstall guides.<br />
<br />
== File Storage ==<br />
<br />
=== Temporary Data ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite stores temporary files in the local file system, e.g. for spooling of uploaded data. Any file system supported by the installed JRE is suitable.<br />
<br />
=== Persistent Data ===<br />
<br />
Persistent data like OX Drive files, PIM attachments etc. and temporary attachment data need to be stored in a distributed file system as registered filestore that is available from all server nodes. For single-node setups a local file system mount point can be used, small to mid-scale setups can be powered by NFS. For large-scale setups object storages should be considered.<br />
<br />
==== Object Storages ====<br />
<br />
OX App Suite ships with different optional adapters to support object storages.<br />

<hr />
<div>= Tutorial: High Available OX App Suite Setup for up to 1 Milion users =<br />
<br />
'''This article describes what you need for a typical OX App Suite Setup for up to 1.000.000 Users, which is fully clustered, high available and scaling very flexible.'''<br />
<br />
It contains everything you need to:<br />
* Understand the design of the OX App Suite setup including additional services<br />
* Install the whole system based on the relevant articles<br />
* Find pointers to the next steps of integration<br />
<br />
<br />
= System Design =<br />
<br />
[[Image:AppSuite-1M.png|1000px]]<br />
<br />
The system is designed to provide maximum functionality and availability with a minimum of necessary hardware. If the services on one OX server fail, this is transparently handled by the load balancer. If one MySQL server fails, it is sufficient to take over the IP address on the other MySQL server in the cluster to stay fully in operation.<br />
<br />
== General recommendations ==<br />
<br />
* A virtualisation enviroment is recommended<br />
* Many machines with less memory (16 GB) are preferred to fewer machines with big memory<br />
* The picture above shows a valid setup for a webmail only system. Further features like the Business Mobility Connector or OX Documentes require more ressources.<br />
<br />
== Infrastructure Components not delivered by OX ==<br />
<br />
* An email system providing IMAP and SMTP<br />
* A control panel for creation and administration of users<br />
* A Load Balancer in front of the OX servers (optional, recommended)<br />
<br />
= Overview Installation Steps =<br />
<br />
'''To deploy the described OX setup, the following steps need to be done. '''<br />
<br />
<br />
== Mandatory Steps ==<br />
# Initialize and configure MySQL database servers<br />
# Install and configure OX on all servers<br />
<br />
== Steps depending on your environment ==<br />
# Implement Load Balancer<br />
# Connect Control Panel<br />
# Connect Email System<br />
<br />
== Recommended Optional Next Steps ==<br />
# Automated Frontend Tests (see [[Automated_GUI_Tests|here]])<br />
# Upsell Plugin (see [[AppSuite:Upsell|here]] and [[AppSuite:Upsell_tools|here]])<br />
# Automatic FailOver<br />
# Theming (see [https://documentation.open-xchange.com/latest/ui/theming.html here])<br />
<br />
= Mandatory Installation Steps - Instructions & Recommendations =<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The following steps need to be done in every case to get OX up and running:'''<br />
<br />
== Initialize and configure MySQL database on both servers ==<br />
<br />
MySQL will be configured as Master-Master configuration to ensure data consistency on both servers.<br />
If one machine fails, the other machine will take over all functionality.<br />
<br />
[[OXLoadBalancingClustering_Database|Database setup for clustered environments]]<br />
<br />
== Install and configure OX on both servers ==<br />
<br />
OX will be installed on minimum two servers. It will be configured to '''write''' to the '''first''' MySQL database and to '''read''' from the '''second''' MySQL database in one cluster. This will distribute the load during normal operation as smooth as possible. During FailOver the IP address of the failed MySQL server will be taken over to the working server, the system stays operable.<br />
<br />
[[AppSuite:OXLoadBalancingClustering_OXConfiguration|Open-Xchange setup and configuration for clustered environments]]<br />
<br />
The NFS server will be mounted on all machines and registered as filestore.<br />
<br />
[[OXLoadBalancingClustering_Filestore|Filestore setup for clustered environments]]<br />
<br />
When multiple Open-Xchange Servers are configured within a cluster Session and Loadbalancing needs to be set up.<br />
<br />
[[OXLoadBalancingClustering_SessionLoadbalancing|Session and Loadbalancing for clustered environments]]<br />
<br />
[[OXLoadBalancingClustering_NetworkConfiguration|Network configuration for clustered environments]]<br />
<br />
You also should install and configure the OXtender for Business Mobility:<br />
<br />
[[OXtender_for_Business_Mobility| exchange active sync configuration for Open-Xchange]]<br />
<br />
= Installation Steps depending on your environment - Instructions & Recommendations =<br />
<br />
'''The following components need to be implemented in your environment.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
== Implement Load Balancer ==<br />
<br />
A load balancer in front of the OX servers is necessary for this deployment size. It needs to handle the requests if one OX server fails.<br />
<br />
If you already have a hardware load balancing solution in place, this can be used. OX is known to work with the standard load balancing solutions from BigIP, Barracuda, Foundry, ...<br />
<br />
If you do not have a load balancing solution already in place, we recommend to use [http://www.keepalived.org/ Keepalived] as reliable and cost effective solution.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
{{OX_HE_Tutorial_Auth}}<br />
<br />
== Connect Email System ==<br />
<br />
Every email system providing IMAP and SMTP can be used as backend to OX. Best experiences are made with the widespread Linux based IMAP servers [http://dovecot.org/ Dovecot], [http://www.cyrusimap.org/ Cyrus] or [http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/ Courier]. <br />
<br />
Other IMAP servers need to be tested thoroughly before going into production.<br />
<br />
There are several possibilities to implement the Email system:<br />
<br />
# You already have an email system available: Nothing needs to be done, it just needs to be configured<br />
# You use Parallels Automation (POA): Nothing special needs to be done, everything you need is contained in the APS package<br />
# You want to setup a new Email system: It is recommended to use Dovecot, as this is very stable, fast, feature rich and easy to scale<br />

<div>=Versioning and Numbering of Open-Xchange Products=<br />
<br />
== Abbreviations ==<br />
<br />
The Open-Xchange versioning will be structured in the following way:<br><br><br />
'''<generation>.<major release>.<minor release> Rev<build number>'''<br><br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"<br />
!align="left" |Abbreviation<br />
!align="left" |Meaning<br />
!align="left" |Comparison<br />
|-<br />
|<generation><br />
|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />
|-<br />
|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<build number><br />
|The Rev-number (Revision) shows the progress of the development in single steps<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6-Revx</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|-<br />
|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March<br />
|As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />
|-<br />
|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end<br />
|As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end with a Public Patch set to be released in April 2026. We encourage administrators to upgrade to the latest operating system version.

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

<div>= OX App Suite v7 Requirements - Open-Xchange supported components overview =<br />
<br />
The following table provides an overview about the supported components of OX App Suite v7 and further products. This overview makes no claim to be complete.<br />
<br />
Information about Maintenance expiries of components, versions and browser support, can be found in the [[AppSuite:Versioning_and_Numbering#Maintenance_expires|Maintenance Expires Table]]<br />
<br />
== Hardware Requirements ==<br />
<br />
=== General Assumptions ===<br />
<br />
Open-Xchange App Suite Server (middleware services) is designed to run on physical servers or virtual machines of the same flavor. Cloud environments might be used in terms of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), meaning that all components need to be deployed in a classical manner on virtual machines.<br />
<br />
This means in particular, but not only:<br />
<br />
* Infrastructure is supposed to be "quasi-static". Automatic replacement of broken nodes is fine as long as this is always an exceptional case. Scaling out or reducing number of nodes must always be a conscious task and closely monitored.<br />
* The only supported "Database as a service" solution is AWS RDS for MariaDB as defined by belows compatibility table.<br />
<br />
Especially we expect the virtual hardware to be not over-provisioned. Each VM must have dedicated resources with respect to CPU cores, RAM, IOPS, storage, network bandwidth, network latency, etc.<br />
<br />
Network is expected to be flat, inside one datacenter, no multi-datacenter, no segments. No packet loss, low latency.<br />
<br />
'''Disclaimer: All recommendations below are without guarantee and can differ for specific deployments. For mid- and large-scale setups a detailed deployment planning and sizing tests are mandatory and should be agreed on with OX Professional Services.'''<br />
<br />
=== High Level Design / OS setup ===<br />
<br />
Operate services separately (USM, Document/Image Converters) as described in [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:Running_a_cluster Cluster Setup].<br />
<br />
Clocks between all nodes must be synchronized (e.g. via NTP).<br />
<br />
Open file/max process limits need to be adjusted properly. Based on the used Linux distribution and init system configuration will differ, see Resource Limits for further explanation.<br />
<br />
Platform Architecture: 64 bit versions (x84_64) of the supported [[#Software Requirements | Linux distributions]]<br />
<br />
=== Node Sizing ===<br />
<br />
==== OX App Suite Middleware ====<br />
<br />
* Max. 8 GB heap per JVM + 4 GB system memory for other daemons and the OS (buffers, caches)<br />
* 4 CPU cores (virtual, physical or hyperthreads) for plain HTTP connections. If TLS is terminated on application nodes this might need to be doubled.<br />
* Disk space<br />
** 8 GB for OS and software<br />
** Some services like Document Converter need SWAP partitions (~1 * RAM)<br />
** 2 * system memory of free disk space (i.e. 12 GB RAM => 24 GB free disk space) for file spooling, log files, heap and core dumps<br />
<br />
=== Untested/Unsupported Deployments ===<br />
<br />
* Changes to Garbage Collector settings<br />
* Running in containerized environments (Docker, rkt)<br />
* Elasticity/High velocity of nodes going up and down: Services are sometimes stateful and demand static configuration<br />
* Cloud platform services (PaaS) that promise to replacements for certain supported technologies but have not been verified by OX for these regards<br />
* Multi-site active-active<br />
<br />
== Software Requirements ==<br />
<br />
=== Linux Distributions ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite is available as Linux packages for the following distributions:<br />
<br />

|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
=== Java ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite Middleware requires OpenJDK headless JRE 8 or 9. Linux distributions might offer only packages for OpenJDK 11 JRE or higher, which are not suitable for OX App Suite. It is in those cases required to install Eclipse Temurin 8 JRE with HotSpot VM (successor of Adoptium). A comprehensive installation guide can be found at https://adoptium.net/de/installation/linux/. The correct JRE package is '''temurin-8-jdk'''.<br />
<br />
=== Databases ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite uses MySQL/MariaDB with the InnoDB storage engine as its primary data store. The following vendors and products are supported.<br />

<br />
==== Important Notes ====<br />
<br />
* Open-Xchange does not plan to support '''MySQL 8 or higher'''. As MariaDB and MySQL are diverging and cannot be assumed drop-in replacements anymore, Open-Xchange will focus on MariaDB Server and MariaDB Galera Cluster. Future App Suite releases '''> 7.10.x''' might rely on features only available in '''MariaDB'''.<br />
* Open-Xchange supports '''Percona XtraDB Cluster''' for existing customers with initial deployments done using '''App Suite 7.8.x or earlier'''. Those customers can continue to use Percona XtraDB Cluster throughout the 7.10.x release series. Like for MySQL, 7.10.x supports only versions 5.6 and 5.7. It is not planned to support Percona XtraDB Cluster beyond 7.10.x.<br />
<br />
* For some Linux distributions the included MySQL/MariaDB packages are too old to be used with App Suite. It is mandatory then to install a supported version from '''upstream package sources'''. Possible sources are the official vendor repositories of MySQL or MariaDB as well as for example Red Hat Software Collections.<br />
* Required '''MySQL/MariaDB configuration''' configuration differs between '''App Suite 7.8.4 and 7.10.x''' and also between the different database systems in terms of SQL modes. See [[My.cnf]] for details.<br />
* For upgrades from App Suite <= 7.8.2 to >= 7.10.0 a comprehensive '''database upgrade guide''' exists: [[AppSuite:7_10_Database_Migration]]<br />
<br />
== HTTP Reverse Proxy ==<br />
<br />
An HTTP server with reverse proxy and load balancing capabilities is required in front of App Suite application servers. TLS termination, virtual hosts, path-based routing, sticky sessions and X-Forwarded headers are typical required features. OX strongly recommends [https://httpd.apache.org/ Apache httpd 2.x] for that. Configuration examples can be found in the quickinstall guides.<br />
<br />
'''Important:''' For websocket support Apache httpd 2.4.x is needed, 2.2.x does not support the required ws_tunnel module. Websockets are mandatory for OX Documents starting with v7.10.3. Like with JRE and MySQL/MariaDB it might be necessary to use 3rd party packages to get the needed Linux packages. Especially for RHEL6 we recommend using Red Hat Software Collections.<br />
<br />
== Webserver ==<br />
<br />
[https://httpd.apache.org/ Apache httpd 2.x] is required as webserver to serve static App Suite UI content. Configuration examples can be found in the quickinstall guides.<br />
<br />
== File Storage ==<br />
<br />
=== Temporary Data ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite stores temporary files in the local file system, e.g. for spooling of uploaded data. Any file system supported by the installed JRE is suitable.<br />
<br />
=== Persistent Data ===<br />
<br />
Persistent data like OX Drive files, PIM attachments etc. and temporary attachment data need to be stored in a distributed file system as registered filestore that is available from all server nodes. For single-node setups a local file system mount point can be used, small to mid-scale setups can be powered by NFS. For large-scale setups object storages should be considered.<br />
<br />
==== Object Storages ====<br />
<br />
OX App Suite ships with different optional adapters to support object storages.<br />

<div>=Versioning and Numbering of Open-Xchange Products=<br />
<br />
== Abbreviations ==<br />
<br />
The Open-Xchange versioning will be structured in the following way:<br><br><br />
'''<generation>.<major release>.<minor release> Rev<build number>'''<br><br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"<br />
!align="left" |Abbreviation<br />
!align="left" |Meaning<br />
!align="left" |Comparison<br />
|-<br />
|<generation><br />
|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />
|-<br />
|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<build number><br />
|The Rev-number (Revision) shows the progress of the development in single steps<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6-Revx</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|-<br />
|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end<br />
|As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end with a Public Patch set to be released in April 2026. We encourage administrators to upgrade to the latest operating system version.

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|With the v7.8.0 release, Open-Xchange will discontinue support for the Random Token login method (sometimes also called Easy Login). Specifically, this means that the "login?action=redirect" call (see http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=HTTP_API#Redirect) will be removed. Furthermore, the "com.openexchange.ajax.login.randomToken" setting will be removed from the "login.properties" file, and the "login?action=login" call will never contain the "random" token. We strongly encourage users of the Random Token login method to change their custom login implementations and use one of the supported methods.<br />

== Abbreviations ==<br />
<br />
The Open-Xchange versioning will be structured in the following way:<br><br><br />
'''<generation>.<major release>.<minor release> Rev<build number>'''<br><br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"<br />
!align="left" |Abbreviation<br />
!align="left" |Meaning<br />
!align="left" |Comparison<br />
|-<br />
|<generation><br />
|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />
|-<br />
|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<build number><br />
|The Rev-number (Revision) shows the progress of the development in single steps<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6-Revx</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />

|<br />
|<br />
|-<br />
|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

<div>=Versioning and Numbering of Open-Xchange Products=<br />
<br />
== Abbreviations ==<br />
<br />
The Open-Xchange versioning will be structured in the following way:<br><br><br />
'''<generation>.<major release>.<minor release> Rev<build number>'''<br><br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"<br />
!align="left" |Abbreviation<br />
!align="left" |Meaning<br />
!align="left" |Comparison<br />
|-<br />
|<generation><br />
|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />
|-<br />
|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<build number><br />
|The Rev-number (Revision) shows the progress of the development in single steps<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6-Revx</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|-<br />
|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March<br />
|As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end<br />
|As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end with a Public Patch set to be released in April 2026. We encourage administrators to upgrade to the latest operating system version. For further information about all supported platforms and databases, please refer to the requirements page: https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_System_Requirements<br />

|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android<br />

From this point users will no longer be able to download the app. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Sync app as Q1 / Q2 2026, both on OX App Suite and on the OX Sync app itself.<br />

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Open-Xchange introduced the new OX Drive app v3 for Apple iOS beginning of 2022. This new OX Drive app for Apple iOS, now called "OX Drive by Open-Xchange", is an intelligent file synchronization app for iOS phones and tablets. With this new generation app, Open-Xchange provides a seamless integration into Apple’s app ecosystem and into the system’s own file browser, the Files app. This new OX Drive app replaced the previous OX Drive app v2. We would like to notify you that support for the OX Drive app v2 for Apple iOS will be discontinued from the 3rd of April. With this date, Open-Xchange will remove the app from the Apple App Store. Existing users can continue to use the app but no new users will be able to download it. At the same time Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support it. The new OX Drive app is available at https://apps.apple.com/de/app/ox-drive-by-open-xchange/id1585939206. Existing users of the legacy app can also easily upgrade to the new version by following the "New app available" entry in the navigation panel.<br />

|We would like to notify you that the OX Mail App for iOS and Android will be discontinued on the 3rd of April. With this date, Open-Xchange will remove the apps from the stores. However, existing users can continue to use the OX Mail App as long as the Mobile API Facade component is running. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Mail App and the Mobile API Facade component.<br />

|In the past, Open-Xchange provided documentation and support for operating OX App Suite in the Amazon Web Services environment. In addition, parts of the Amazon Web Services service portfolio was also supported. We would like to notify you that support for the following Amazon Web Services products will be discontinued after release v7.10.5 of OX App Suite. For the duration of the support & maintenance period for release v7.10.5 nothing will change: Amazon Linux 2 & AWS RDS for MySQL and MariaDB<br />

|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March.

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end<br />
|As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end with a Public Patch set to be released in April 2026. We encourage administrators to upgrade to the latest operating system version. For further information about all supported platforms and databases, please refer to the requirements page: https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_System_Requirements<br />

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

== Abbreviations ==<br />
<br />
The Open-Xchange versioning will be structured in the following way:<br><br><br />
'''<generation>.<major release>.<minor release> Rev<build number>'''<br><br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"<br />
!align="left" |Abbreviation<br />
!align="left" |Meaning<br />
!align="left" |Comparison<br />
|-<br />
|<generation><br />
|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />
|-<br />
|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<build number><br />
|The Rev-number (Revision) shows the progress of the development in single steps<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March<br />
|As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end<br />
|As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end with a Public Patch set to be released in April 2026. We encourage administrators to upgrade to the latest operating system version. For further information about all supported platforms and databases, please refer to the requirements page: https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_System_Requirements<br />

|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android<br />
|Will be discontinued in Q1 / Q2 2026. The app will be removed from Google Play Store Q1 / Q2 2026. From this point users will no longer be able to download the app. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Sync app as Q1 / Q2 2026, both on OX App Suite and on the OX Sync app itself.<br />

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Open-Xchange introduced the new OX Drive app v3 for Apple iOS beginning of 2022. This new OX Drive app for Apple iOS, now called "OX Drive by Open-Xchange", is an intelligent file synchronization app for iOS phones and tablets. With this new generation app, Open-Xchange provides a seamless integration into Apple’s app ecosystem and into the system’s own file browser, the Files app. This new OX Drive app replaced the previous OX Drive app v2. We would like to notify you that support for the OX Drive app v2 for Apple iOS will be discontinued from the 3rd of April. With this date, Open-Xchange will remove the app from the Apple App Store. Existing users can continue to use the app but no new users will be able to download it. At the same time Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support it. The new OX Drive app is available at https://apps.apple.com/de/app/ox-drive-by-open-xchange/id1585939206. Existing users of the legacy app can also easily upgrade to the new version by following the "New app available" entry in the navigation panel.<br />

|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end<br />

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end<br />
|As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end with a Public Patch set to be released in April 2026. We encourage administrators to upgrade to the latest operating system version.

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Since OX App Suite v7.4.0: 2013-09-26<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the currently available "showruntimestats" monitoring function (which fetches runtime information from the Java virtual machine and about the Open-Xchange Groupware backend). With OX App Suite v7.4.0, there is a new monitoring function using Jolokia for Open-Xchange. From v7.4.0 onwards, this is located inside the Open-Xchange Bundle and configured by jolokia.properties. Further information can be found at http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=Jolokia<br />
|Since OX App Suite v7.4.0: 2013-09-26<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange provided a new LDAP Contact Storage Integration Bundle. Open-Xchange discontinued support for the old bundle with OX App Suite v7.2.1. Further configuration information is available at the Open-Xchange Knowledgebase under: http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=ContactStorageLDAP<br />
|Since OX App Suite v7.2.1: 2013-05-27<br />

<br />
== Abbreviations ==<br />
<br />
The Open-Xchange versioning will be structured in the following way:<br><br><br />
'''<generation>.<major release>.<minor release> Rev<build number>'''<br><br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"<br />
!align="left" |Abbreviation<br />
!align="left" |Meaning<br />
!align="left" |Comparison<br />
|-<br />
|<generation><br />
|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />
|-<br />
|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<build number><br />
|The Rev-number (Revision) shows the progress of the development in single steps<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6-Revx</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|-<br />
|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March<br />
|As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />
|-<br />
|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end<br />
|As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end with a Public Patch set to be released in April 2026. We encourage administrators to upgrade to the latest operating system version. For further information about all supported platforms and databases, please refer to the requirements page: https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_System_Requirements<br />

|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android<br />
|Will be discontinued in Q1 / Q2 2026. The app will be removed from Google Play Store Q1 / Q2 2026. From this point users will no longer be able to download the app. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Sync app as Q1 / Q2 2026, both on OX App Suite and on the OX Sync app itself.<br />

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Open-Xchange introduced the new OX Drive app v3 for Apple iOS beginning of 2022. This new OX Drive app for Apple iOS, now called "OX Drive by Open-Xchange", is an intelligent file synchronization app for iOS phones and tablets. With this new generation app, Open-Xchange provides a seamless integration into Apple’s app ecosystem and into the system’s own file browser, the Files app. This new OX Drive app replaced the previous OX Drive app v2. We would like to notify you that support for the OX Drive app v2 for Apple iOS will be discontinued from the 3rd of April. With this date, Open-Xchange will remove the app from the Apple App Store. Existing users can continue to use the app but no new users will be able to download it. At the same time Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support it. The new OX Drive app is available at https://apps.apple.com/de/app/ox-drive-by-open-xchange/id1585939206. Existing users of the legacy app can also easily upgrade to the new version by following the "New app available" entry in the navigation panel.<br />

|We would like to notify you that the OX Mail App for iOS and Android will be discontinued on the 3rd of April. With this date, Open-Xchange will remove the apps from the stores. However, existing users can continue to use the OX Mail App as long as the Mobile API Facade component is running. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Mail App and the Mobile API Facade component.<br />

|In the past, Open-Xchange provided documentation and support for operating OX App Suite in the Amazon Web Services environment. In addition, parts of the Amazon Web Services service portfolio was also supported. We would like to notify you that support for the following Amazon Web Services products will be discontinued after release v7.10.5 of OX App Suite. For the duration of the support & maintenance period for release v7.10.5 nothing will change: Amazon Linux 2 & AWS RDS for MySQL and MariaDB<br />

|Open-Xchange is pleased to announce that eM Client now has support for OX App Suite built into the standard eM Client product. As a consequence, Open-Xchange will discontinue the special "eM Client for OX App Suite" version. Support & maintenance for this version will end 31st of December 2020. We know that making product changes can sometimes be challenging, so we have teamed up with eM Client to make this change as easy as possible. Please visit https://www.emclient.com/emclient-for-ox to learn about the upgrade path and license options. By switching to the official eM Client product, you will benefit from increased update cycles and remove problems related to specific license checks.<br />

|In accordance with the supported platform policy, Open-Xchange announces the discontinuation of support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (SLES 12), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and CentOS 6 with the next upcoming release of OX App Suite, planned for the next release. Additionally, Open-Xchange announces the discontinuation of support for Kerberos.<br />
|Since OX App Suite v7.10.4<br />
|-<br />

|We would like to notify you that support for the following products will be discontinued from the 31st. March 2019. Open-Xchange Server 6, OX Hosting Edition, OX Server Edition, OX Mobile Web Interface and OX Notifier.<br>Open-Xchange Server 6, OX Hosting Edition and OX Server Edition, was the first generation of scalable email and collaboration software produced by Open-Xchange for hosted environments. Our second-generation product, OX App Suite, launched five years ago in early 2013, and as a consequence we have decided to discontinue support of Open-Xchange Server 6 and end all maintenance activities.<br>Please note: Open-Xchange Server 6 packages will still be available on our software repositories and will work with the middleware version v7.8.4. but we will not provide any support and maintenance activities.

|Up until now Open-Xchange has provided support for installations of OX App Suite 7.10.x on Debian Jessie. OX App Suite v7.10.x requires OpenJDK 8; OpenJDK 8 is a backport on Debian Jessie and Debian Jessie is currently in LTS (Long Term Support). Recently we have found out that the support for this backport in Debian Jessie has now been discontinued. This means that Debian Jessie no longer supports the required OpenJDK 8. Due to the above situation we regrettably have to inform you that support of OX App Suite v7.10.x and any future version on Debian Jessie must be discontinued from the 2019-03-31. Open-Xchange encourages administrators to regularly update to the latest available platform releases. To ensure a stable and up to date environment please note the different versions supported. An overview of the latest supported platform release can be found in the OXpedia at: http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_System_Requirements#Linux_Distributions<br />

|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />

|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end<br />
|As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end with a Public Patch set to be released in April 2026. We encourage administrators to upgrade to the latest operating system version.

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end<br />
|As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end with a Public Patch set to be released in April 2026. We encourage administrators to upgrade to the latest operating system version.

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Debian 7 (Wheezy) was released by the Debian project on May 4th 2013. Both OX App Suite and Open-Xchange Server 6 support Debian 7 with OpenJDK 7 and MySQL 5.5 with this release of OX App Suite. Please note that the combination Debian 7 / OpenJDK 6 or Sun Java 6 will not be supported as a platform by Open-Xchange.<br />

== Abbreviations ==<br />
<br />
The Open-Xchange versioning will be structured in the following way:<br><br><br />
'''<generation>.<major release>.<minor release> Rev<build number>'''<br><br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"<br />
!align="left" |Abbreviation<br />
!align="left" |Meaning<br />
!align="left" |Comparison<br />
|-<br />
|<generation><br />
|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />
|-<br />
|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<build number><br />
|The Rev-number (Revision) shows the progress of the development in single steps<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end<br />
|As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end with a Public Patch set to be released in April 2026. We encourage administrators to upgrade to the latest operating system version. For further information about all supported platforms and databases, please refer to the requirements page: https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_System_Requirements<br />

|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android<br />
|Will be discontinued in Q1 / Q2 2026. The app will be removed from Google Play Store Q1 / Q2 2026.

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Open-Xchange introduced the new OX Drive app v3 for Apple iOS beginning of 2022. This new OX Drive app for Apple iOS, now called "OX Drive by Open-Xchange", is an intelligent file synchronization app for iOS phones and tablets. With this new generation app, Open-Xchange provides a seamless integration into Apple’s app ecosystem and into the system’s own file browser, the Files app. This new OX Drive app replaced the previous OX Drive app v2. We would like to notify you that support for the OX Drive app v2 for Apple iOS will be discontinued from the 3rd of April. With this date, Open-Xchange will remove the app from the Apple App Store. Existing users can continue to use the app but no new users will be able to download it. At the same time Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support it. The new OX Drive app is available at https://apps.apple.com/de/app/ox-drive-by-open-xchange/id1585939206. Existing users of the legacy app can also easily upgrade to the new version by following the "New app available" entry in the navigation panel.<br />

|We would like to notify you that the OX Mail App for iOS and Android will be discontinued on the 3rd of April. With this date, Open-Xchange will remove the apps from the stores. However, existing users can continue to use the OX Mail App as long as the Mobile API Facade component is running. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Mail App and the Mobile API Facade component.<br />

Open-Xchange wants to allow extended upgrade time to OX App Suite v7.10.x for its customers. Please note, after 2020-06-30, Open-Xchange won't provide any new patches for OX App Suite v7.8.4 version.

|Since 2019-03-31<br />
|-<br />
|Up until now Open-Xchange has provided support for installations of OX App Suite 7.10.x on Debian Jessie. OX App Suite v7.10.x requires OpenJDK 8; OpenJDK 8 is a backport on Debian Jessie and Debian Jessie is currently in LTS (Long Term Support). Recently we have found out that the support for this backport in Debian Jessie has now been discontinued. This means that Debian Jessie no longer supports the required OpenJDK 8. Due to the above situation we regrettably have to inform you that support of OX App Suite v7.10.x and any future version on Debian Jessie must be discontinued from the 2019-03-31. Open-Xchange encourages administrators to regularly update to the latest available platform releases. To ensure a stable and up to date environment please note the different versions supported. An overview of the latest supported platform release can be found in the OXpedia at: http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_System_Requirements#Linux_Distributions<br />

<div>= OX App Suite v7 Requirements - Open-Xchange supported components overview =<br />
<br />
The following table provides an overview about the supported components of OX App Suite v7 and further products. This overview makes no claim to be complete.<br />
<br />
Information about Maintenance expiries of components, versions and browser support, can be found in the [[AppSuite:Versioning_and_Numbering#Maintenance_expires|Maintenance Expires Table]]<br />
<br />
== Hardware Requirements ==<br />
<br />
=== General Assumptions ===<br />
<br />
Open-Xchange App Suite Server (middleware services) is designed to run on physical servers or virtual machines of the same flavor. Cloud environments might be used in terms of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), meaning that all components need to be deployed in a classical manner on virtual machines.<br />
<br />
This means in particular, but not only:<br />
<br />
* Infrastructure is supposed to be "quasi-static". Automatic replacement of broken nodes is fine as long as this is always an exceptional case. Scaling out or reducing number of nodes must always be a conscious task and closely monitored.<br />
* The only supported "Database as a service" solution is AWS RDS for MariaDB as defined by belows compatibility table.<br />
<br />
Especially we expect the virtual hardware to be not over-provisioned. Each VM must have dedicated resources with respect to CPU cores, RAM, IOPS, storage, network bandwidth, network latency, etc.<br />
<br />
Network is expected to be flat, inside one datacenter, no multi-datacenter, no segments. No packet loss, low latency.<br />
<br />
'''Disclaimer: All recommendations below are without guarantee and can differ for specific deployments. For mid- and large-scale setups a detailed deployment planning and sizing tests are mandatory and should be agreed on with OX Professional Services.'''<br />
<br />
=== High Level Design / OS setup ===<br />
<br />
Operate services separately (USM, Document/Image Converters) as described in [https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:Running_a_cluster Cluster Setup].<br />
<br />
Clocks between all nodes must be synchronized (e.g. via NTP).<br />
<br />
Open file/max process limits need to be adjusted properly. Based on the used Linux distribution and init system configuration will differ, see Resource Limits for further explanation.<br />
<br />
Platform Architecture: 64 bit versions (x84_64) of the supported [[#Software Requirements | Linux distributions]]<br />
<br />
=== Node Sizing ===<br />
<br />
==== OX App Suite Middleware ====<br />
<br />
* Max. 8 GB heap per JVM + 4 GB system memory for other daemons and the OS (buffers, caches)<br />
* 4 CPU cores (virtual, physical or hyperthreads) for plain HTTP connections. If TLS is terminated on application nodes this might need to be doubled.<br />
* Disk space<br />
** 8 GB for OS and software<br />
** Some services like Document Converter need SWAP partitions (~1 * RAM)<br />
** 2 * system memory of free disk space (i.e. 12 GB RAM => 24 GB free disk space) for file spooling, log files, heap and core dumps<br />
<br />
=== Untested/Unsupported Deployments ===<br />
<br />
* Changes to Garbage Collector settings<br />
* Running in containerized environments (Docker, rkt)<br />
* Elasticity/High velocity of nodes going up and down: Services are sometimes stateful and demand static configuration<br />
* Cloud platform services (PaaS) that promise to replacements for certain supported technologies but have not been verified by OX for these regards<br />
* Multi-site active-active<br />
<br />
== Software Requirements ==<br />
<br />
=== Linux Distributions ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite is available as Linux packages for the following distributions:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" id="ganz_oben"<br />

| Univention Corporate Server<br />
| v5.2<br />
|<br />
|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
=== Java ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite Middleware requires OpenJDK headless JRE 8 or 9. Linux distributions might offer only packages for OpenJDK 11 JRE or higher, which are not suitable for OX App Suite. It is in those cases required to install Eclipse Temurin 8 JRE with HotSpot VM (successor of Adoptium). A comprehensive installation guide can be found at https://adoptium.net/de/installation/linux/. The correct JRE package is '''temurin-8-jdk'''.<br />
<br />
=== Databases ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite uses MySQL/MariaDB with the InnoDB storage engine as its primary data store. The following vendors and products are supported.<br />
<br />

<br />
==== Important Notes ====<br />
<br />
* Open-Xchange does not plan to support '''MySQL 8 or higher'''. As MariaDB and MySQL are diverging and cannot be assumed drop-in replacements anymore, Open-Xchange will focus on MariaDB Server and MariaDB Galera Cluster. Future App Suite releases '''> 7.10.x''' might rely on features only available in '''MariaDB'''.<br />
* Open-Xchange supports '''Percona XtraDB Cluster''' for existing customers with initial deployments done using '''App Suite 7.8.x or earlier'''. Those customers can continue to use Percona XtraDB Cluster throughout the 7.10.x release series. Like for MySQL, 7.10.x supports only versions 5.6 and 5.7. It is not planned to support Percona XtraDB Cluster beyond 7.10.x.<br />
<br />
* For some Linux distributions the included MySQL/MariaDB packages are too old to be used with App Suite. It is mandatory then to install a supported version from '''upstream package sources'''. Possible sources are the official vendor repositories of MySQL or MariaDB as well as for example Red Hat Software Collections.<br />
* Required '''MySQL/MariaDB configuration''' configuration differs between '''App Suite 7.8.4 and 7.10.x''' and also between the different database systems in terms of SQL modes. See [[My.cnf]] for details.<br />
* For upgrades from App Suite <= 7.8.2 to >= 7.10.0 a comprehensive '''database upgrade guide''' exists: [[AppSuite:7_10_Database_Migration]]<br />
<br />
== HTTP Reverse Proxy ==<br />
<br />
An HTTP server with reverse proxy and load balancing capabilities is required in front of App Suite application servers. TLS termination, virtual hosts, path-based routing, sticky sessions and X-Forwarded headers are typical required features. OX strongly recommends [https://httpd.apache.org/ Apache httpd 2.x] for that. Configuration examples can be found in the quickinstall guides.<br />
<br />
'''Important:''' For websocket support Apache httpd 2.4.x is needed, 2.2.x does not support the required ws_tunnel module. Websockets are mandatory for OX Documents starting with v7.10.3. Like with JRE and MySQL/MariaDB it might be necessary to use 3rd party packages to get the needed Linux packages. Especially for RHEL6 we recommend using Red Hat Software Collections.<br />
<br />
== Webserver ==<br />
<br />
[https://httpd.apache.org/ Apache httpd 2.x] is required as webserver to serve static App Suite UI content. Configuration examples can be found in the quickinstall guides.<br />
<br />
== File Storage ==<br />
<br />
=== Temporary Data ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite stores temporary files in the local file system, e.g. for spooling of uploaded data. Any file system supported by the installed JRE is suitable.<br />
<br />
=== Persistent Data ===<br />
<br />
Persistent data like OX Drive files, PIM attachments etc. and temporary attachment data need to be stored in a distributed file system as registered filestore that is available from all server nodes. For single-node setups a local file system mount point can be used, small to mid-scale setups can be powered by NFS. For large-scale setups object storages should be considered.<br />
<br />
==== Object Storages ====<br />
<br />
OX App Suite ships with different optional adapters to support object storages.<br />

== Software Requirements ==<br />
<br />
=== Linux Distributions ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite is available as Linux packages for the following distributions:<br />

|<br />
|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
=== Java ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite Middleware requires OpenJDK headless JRE 8 or 9. Linux distributions might offer only packages for OpenJDK 11 JRE or higher, which are not suitable for OX App Suite. It is in those cases required to install Eclipse Temurin 8 JRE with HotSpot VM (successor of Adoptium). A comprehensive installation guide can be found at https://adoptium.net/de/installation/linux/. The correct JRE package is '''temurin-8-jdk'''.<br />
<br />
=== Databases ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite uses MySQL/MariaDB with the InnoDB storage engine as its primary data store. The following vendors and products are supported.<br />
<br />

<br />
==== Important Notes ====<br />
<br />
* Open-Xchange does not plan to support '''MySQL 8 or higher'''. As MariaDB and MySQL are diverging and cannot be assumed drop-in replacements anymore, Open-Xchange will focus on MariaDB Server and MariaDB Galera Cluster. Future App Suite releases '''> 7.10.x''' might rely on features only available in '''MariaDB'''.<br />
* Open-Xchange supports '''Percona XtraDB Cluster''' for existing customers with initial deployments done using '''App Suite 7.8.x or earlier'''. Those customers can continue to use Percona XtraDB Cluster throughout the 7.10.x release series. Like for MySQL, 7.10.x supports only versions 5.6 and 5.7. It is not planned to support Percona XtraDB Cluster beyond 7.10.x.<br />
<br />
* For some Linux distributions the included MySQL/MariaDB packages are too old to be used with App Suite. It is mandatory then to install a supported version from '''upstream package sources'''. Possible sources are the official vendor repositories of MySQL or MariaDB as well as for example Red Hat Software Collections.<br />
* Required '''MySQL/MariaDB configuration''' configuration differs between '''App Suite 7.8.4 and 7.10.x''' and also between the different database systems in terms of SQL modes. See [[My.cnf]] for details.<br />
* For upgrades from App Suite <= 7.8.2 to >= 7.10.0 a comprehensive '''database upgrade guide''' exists: [[AppSuite:7_10_Database_Migration]]<br />
<br />
== HTTP Reverse Proxy ==<br />
<br />
An HTTP server with reverse proxy and load balancing capabilities is required in front of App Suite application servers. TLS termination, virtual hosts, path-based routing, sticky sessions and X-Forwarded headers are typical required features. OX strongly recommends [https://httpd.apache.org/ Apache httpd 2.x] for that. Configuration examples can be found in the quickinstall guides.<br />
<br />
'''Important:''' For websocket support Apache httpd 2.4.x is needed, 2.2.x does not support the required ws_tunnel module. Websockets are mandatory for OX Documents starting with v7.10.3. Like with JRE and MySQL/MariaDB it might be necessary to use 3rd party packages to get the needed Linux packages. Especially for RHEL6 we recommend using Red Hat Software Collections.<br />
<br />
== Webserver ==<br />
<br />
[https://httpd.apache.org/ Apache httpd 2.x] is required as webserver to serve static App Suite UI content. Configuration examples can be found in the quickinstall guides.<br />
<br />
== File Storage ==<br />
<br />
=== Temporary Data ===<br />
<br />
OX App Suite stores temporary files in the local file system, e.g. for spooling of uploaded data. Any file system supported by the installed JRE is suitable.<br />
<br />
=== Persistent Data ===<br />
<br />
Persistent data like OX Drive files, PIM attachments etc. and temporary attachment data need to be stored in a distributed file system as registered filestore that is available from all server nodes. For single-node setups a local file system mount point can be used, small to mid-scale setups can be powered by NFS. For large-scale setups object storages should be considered.<br />
<br />
==== Object Storages ====<br />
<br />
OX App Suite ships with different optional adapters to support object storages.<br />

<div>=Versioning and Numbering of Open-Xchange Products=<br />
<br />
== Abbreviations ==<br />
<br />
The Open-Xchange versioning will be structured in the following way:<br><br><br />
'''<generation>.<major release>.<minor release> Rev<build number>'''<br><br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"<br />
!align="left" |Abbreviation<br />
!align="left" |Meaning<br />
!align="left" |Comparison<br />
|-<br />
|<generation><br />
|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />
|-<br />
|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<build number><br />
|The Rev-number (Revision) shows the progress of the development in single steps<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6-Revx</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|-<br />
|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025.

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end<br />
|As part of our supported platform policy, and to ensure a stable and continuously updated environment, Open-Xchange support for Debian Buster (Debian 10) will end with a Public Patch set to be released in April 2026. We encourage administrators to upgrade to the latest operating system version. For further information about all supported platforms and databases, please refer to the requirements page: https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_System_Requirements<br />

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />

|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|Support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March<br />
|As mentioned in the blog post (https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/11/ingress-nginx-retirement/), upstream support for Ingress NGINX will cease at the end of March, and the project will be retired. Please note, our support for Ingress NGINX in OX App Suite v8 will also be discontinued at the same time.<br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Open-Xchange introduced the new OX Drive app v3 for Apple iOS beginning of 2022.

With this new generation app, Open-Xchange provides a seamless integration into Apple’s app ecosystem and into the system’s own file browser, the Files app. This new OX Drive app replaced the previous OX Drive app v2.

Existing users can continue to use the app but no new users will be able to download it. At the same time Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support it. The new OX Drive app is available at https://apps.apple.com/de/app/ox-drive-by-open-xchange/id1585939206. Existing users of the legacy app can also easily upgrade to the new version by following the "New app available" entry in the navigation panel.<br />

== Abbreviations ==<br />
<br />
The Open-Xchange versioning will be structured in the following way:<br><br><br />
'''<generation>.<major release>.<minor release> Rev<build number>'''<br><br />
<br />

!align="left" |Abbreviation<br />
!align="left" |Meaning<br />
!align="left" |Comparison<br />
|-<br />
|<generation><br />
|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />
|-<br />
|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10.6</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<build number><br />
|The Rev-number (Revision) shows the progress of the development in single steps<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|End of Life CloudAPI v1<br />
|As previously announced in April and October 2025, please be aware that CloudAPI v1 was discontinued at the end of 2025. However, we have decided to extend the availability on the platform until March 31st, 2026. It is important to note that after this date, CloudAPI v1 will be unavailable, and no further connections to these endpoints will be possible. Any actions against the v1 API will fail. To ensure uninterrupted service and benefit from features such as enhanced error handling, please transition to CloudAPI v2 until end of March. You can find detailed migration instructions in our guide here: https://confluence-public.open-xchange.com/display/OASC/Migration+Guide+from+CloudAPI+v1+to+v2<br />

|OX Sync app v1.5.7 for Android<br />
|Will be discontinued in Q1 / Q2 2026. The app will be removed from Google Play Store Q1 / Q2 2026. From this point users will no longer be able to download the app. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Sync app as Q1 / Q2 2026, both on OX App Suite and on the OX Sync app itself.<br />

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Open-Xchange introduced the new OX Drive app v3 for Apple iOS beginning of 2022. This new OX Drive app for Apple iOS, now called "OX Drive by Open-Xchange", is an intelligent file synchronization app for iOS phones and tablets. With this new generation app, Open-Xchange provides a seamless integration into Apple’s app ecosystem and into the system’s own file browser, the Files app. This new OX Drive app replaced the previous OX Drive app v2. We would like to notify you that support for the OX Drive app v2 for Apple iOS will be discontinued from the 3rd of April. With this date, Open-Xchange will remove the app from the Apple App Store. Existing users can continue to use the app but no new users will be able to download it. At the same time Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support it. The new OX Drive app is available at https://apps.apple.com/de/app/ox-drive-by-open-xchange/id1585939206. Existing users of the legacy app can also easily upgrade to the new version by following the "New app available" entry in the navigation panel.<br />

|We would like to notify you that the OX Mail App for iOS and Android will be discontinued on the 3rd of April. With this date, Open-Xchange will remove the apps from the stores. However, existing users can continue to use the OX Mail App as long as the Mobile API Facade component is running. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Mail App and the Mobile API Facade component.<br />

|The first number is the product generation number. A new generation may contain new architecture, different technology and many more.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite 7</font><font color="#FF0000"></font><br />
|-<br />
|<major release><br />
|The second version number (major release) indicates significant program changes in terms of added functionality. Major changes to design and enhancements of APIs are possible. All APIs shall be backward compatible, which means, that mainly new functions can be added. If Open-Xchange releases a new major release this will be an even number, unstable interim releases have odd numbers.<br />
|<font color="#008000">OX App Suite v7.10</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font><br />

|<minor release><br />
|The third version number (minor releases) indicates an update with consolidated bug fixes and non-intrusive feature enhancements. APIs and database will not be changed if this can be avoided. All changes must be backward compatible.<br />

|Public Patch Release / Patch Release<br />
|A Public Patch Release enables Open-Xchange to publish a feature together with a patch. This in turn enables Open-Xchange to react more flexibly to time requests for certain features, thus relieving minor releases and making it possible to shift them. Delivering a feature with a Public Patch Release requires:<br />
* It can be implemented without far-reaching side effects. This is especially true for features that are implemented as plug-ins. To a limited extend, features affecting a limited sub set of core functionality can be included. Technical pragmatism is fine to reach the goal (e.g., copy & paste of functionality instead of abstraction into a service). This pragmatism has to be leveled out though as soon as the feature is ported into a more flexible branch. <br />
*It can be deactivated and is deactivated by default. If a customer installs a Public Patch Release, the familiar feature set does not change. Only if explicitly activating the enhanced features, will they be available to the end user.<br />
*If features require changes to the data base schema or configuration files, they have to be developed in such a way that they do not impair the running system.<br />
*Side-effects of Public Patch Releases are evaluated by the respective developers. Together with the QA team, they make a test plan for checking for those side effects and other effects. <br />

|Open-Xchange discontinued support for the OX Mail App and the OX Mobile API Facade. In that announcement it was mentioned that users would still be able to continue using the OX Mail App as long as the OX Mobile API Facade remained running. As of the end of July 2024 this will no longer be the case because the OX Mobile API Facade will be completely removed from the software stack.<br>The reason for removing the OX Mobile API Facade is that after Google shutdown Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), and their move to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Push Notifications for OX Mail App also stopped. As Push Notifications are a vital part of the OX Mail App, Open-Xchange made the decision and removed the OX Mobile API Facade completely from the software stack in the Public Patch, end of July 2024. <br />
|End of July 2024<br />
|-<br />
|Open-Xchange rolled out HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for its web services at open-xchange.com on 2023-06-01. This mechanism will further improve the security of connections and mitigates potential downgrade attacks. It enforces that HTTP clients use HTTPS rather than the unencrypted and unauthenticated version of this protocol. We further intend to use HSTS-preloading, which means clients will use HTTPS straight away and will not attempt to use HTTP.<br />

|Open-Xchange introduced the new OX Drive app v3 for Apple iOS beginning of 2022. This new OX Drive app for Apple iOS, now called "OX Drive by Open-Xchange", is an intelligent file synchronization app for iOS phones and tablets. With this new generation app, Open-Xchange provides a seamless integration into Apple’s app ecosystem and into the system’s own file browser, the Files app. This new OX Drive app replaced the previous OX Drive app v2. We would like to notify you that support for the OX Drive app v2 for Apple iOS will be discontinued from the 3rd of April. With this date, Open-Xchange will remove the app from the Apple App Store. Existing users can continue to use the app but no new users will be able to download it. At the same time Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support it. The new OX Drive app is available at https://apps.apple.com/de/app/ox-drive-by-open-xchange/id1585939206. Existing users of the legacy app can also easily upgrade to the new version by following the "New app available" entry in the navigation panel.<br />

|We would like to notify you that the OX Mail App for iOS and Android will be discontinued on the 3rd of April. With this date, Open-Xchange will remove the apps from the stores. However, existing users can continue to use the OX Mail App as long as the Mobile API Facade component is running. Please be aware that Open-Xchange will also stop providing further updates and support for the OX Mail App and the Mobile API Facade component.<br />

|Up until now Open-Xchange has provided support for installations of OX App Suite 7.10.x on Debian Jessie.

Recently we have found out that the support for this backport in Debian Jessie has now been discontinued. This means that Debian Jessie no longer supports the required OpenJDK 8. Due to the above situation we regrettably have to inform you that support of OX App Suite v7.10.x and any future version on Debian Jessie must be discontinued from the 2019-03-31. Open-Xchange encourages administrators to regularly update to the latest available platform releases. To ensure a stable and up to date environment please note the different versions supported.
