Open-Xchange Server quick installation script
Purpose
When deploying a lot of Open-Xchange Server installations, either for testing or for production, manual configuration becomes annoying. At Open-Xchange we set up hundreds of installations a week - just for testing. This requires an automated process and universally usable deployment tools. While setting up a test system usually occurs unattended, setting up a productive system requires user interaction. To ease the installation process, even for single installation, we've released this quick installation script to the public.
Supported platforms
The script supports all Linux distributions Open-Xchange supports commercially.
- Debian 4.0 (Etch)
- Debian 5.0 (Lenny)
- SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES10)
- SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (SLES11)
- RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL5)
Contributions
The script is written in bash and does not require any tools installed on the target system. Is structured pretty simple and designed to be extensible for additional Linux distributions to support. Feel free to add support for any distribution you like and send patches.
Download
The script is available through our Subversion repository.
$ svn --password "" --username anonymous co https://svn.open-xchange.com/ox-quickinstall/
Usage
Just run the script within a bash
$ ./ox-quickinstall.sh
Use -u <version> to run in unattended mode. Make sure to configure the unattended mode before since the defaults won't work externally.
$ ./ox-quickinstall.sh -u 6.14
or, depending on the repository
$ ./ox-quickinstall.sh -u 6.14-rev5
