Installation and Upgrades / Re: Install From A USB Key?

« on: December 06, 2009, 10:45:37 pm »

hy folk
thanks for the tipps in this thread, I found now how to install ebox with an usb flash disk.
1) I suppose it should work as well as describe from xorred above!
2) I first tried to copy content of the (loop mounted) iso to the flash disk, but like that I have the problem that the cdrom is not found from the installer.
3) I wrote my own howto, that is even simpler because not using the graphical boot menu:

# *** howto install an ubuntu iso image with an usb flash disk ***
# general infos:
#   https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html#id2666413
#   http://forum.ebox-platform.com/index.php?topic=1428.0
exit 0

# for those not being root, or feel free to apply 'sudo' at each command :-)
sudo su -

# define device of usb flash disk
DRIVE=sdb
PART=2

# prepare usb flash disk
fdisk /dev/$DRIVE
# create a partition that it looks like:
# /dev/sdb2   *         801        1024      847168    6  FAT16

# create filesystem and install bootloader
mkfs.vfat /dev/$DRIVE$PART
syslinux -s /dev/$DRIVE$PART
install-mbr /dev/$DRIVE # maybe not needed

#  mount and enter usb flash disk
mount /dev/$DRIVE$PART /mnt
cd /mnt

# download an iso image -- e.g. newest ebox
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ebox-platform/ebox_installer-1.3.10-2.iso

# download starter kernel and initrd -- for ebox use the corresponding hardy kernel:
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/vmlinuz
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/initrd.gz

# create config file: (the 'file=...' part is from isolinux/isolinux.cfg in the iso image)
echo "default vmlinuz" > syslinux.cfg
echo "append initrd=initrd.gz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-server.seed" >> syslinux.cfg

# finish
umount /mnt

# while booting from the usb stick, just press Enter at the "boot:" prompt

this howto works fine for me... I hope I have no typo errors in it!

good luck

Installation and Upgrades / Smarthost for each User

« on: October 11, 2009, 03:26:06 pm »

hi ebox-team
I am wondering how the smarthost feature is implemented in ebox-1.2.1:
just one smarthost can be set with just one smpt-user/passwd...

This is not my need, because my smarthost (GMX) is checking the smtp-user against the sender-address, thus I need a smarthost config for each user.

Well, this topic is talking about how to implement smtpauth + fetchmail by hand:
   http://forum.ebox-platform.com/index.php?topic=892.0
but this is quite old an was for ebox-1.0 ... and I am asking for how to do it the actual/future ebox versions?

thanks for replays
Andreas
