Hi I would like to have an Microsoft Exchange alternative on my Netgear. I was wondering if anyone knows kolab, and if so how to install it on my ReadyNAS. It seems Kolab is the ONLY alternative that is 100% free, and when its free... i love it :)kolab: http://kolab.org/Im kinda new on linux building packages, but i would like to make a package of this at the end with some help of the gurus here.Thanks in advance!

I had a look at Kolab some years ago and just had another look because of your post. As I could see the major problem with Kolab hasn't changed over the years: It is using a lot of heavyweight applications that are not that easy to setup and manage. Time permitting I'll try to have a closer look but don't get your hopes too high.-Stefan

Well thank you for looking into it...What I red on the internet installing is the bigest job... managing on the other hand is easy with the UI.

The real problem there is that Kolab at least partially depends on software that is already present on the ReadyNAS and needs to be upgraded to support Kolab, Upgrading base software always poses the risk of breaking things so it's not just hard to do it but a real bitch ;)-Stefan

im guessing that ***** is bad :)But we could install vmware as base right? and use the second nic as link... I would be happy with a detailed installguide... not that jibberish that i found on the website! :rofl:

I used a word that ends on 'itch' - maybe I should have used PITA :-PProgressed wrote:But we could install vmware as base right?I don't see how adding another layer of complexity should make the task at hand easier ...-Stefan

Do you know if i could extend the internal memory easy? google hasnt much to say about this.

Heven't tried with the Ultra yet. Works fine on my Pro, though. So if you open your Ultra and check what specs the current RAM has I don't see why it shouldn't work using larger modules.

Actually the general process is still the same as outline by Yoh-Dah's original post. The "magic" is in the install.sh which handles all the installation details and where you have to add your stuff.

I have not had time to implement but, recommend trying with the Pro or Ultra series.

1. Setup VBox: Follow my guide post here for x86.
http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=26468&start=360

2. Install CentOS 6.2 or 6.3 as VM

3a. Follow "Quick HOWTO: Kolab 2.4 on CentOS 6.2"
http://kolab.org/howto/quick-howto-kolab-24-centos-62
or
3b. Follow "Quick HOWTO: Kolab 3.0 pre-alpha on CentOS 6.3"
http://kolab.org/blog/grote/2012/07/18/kolab-3.0-pre-alpha-release-and-installation

Looks like OwnCloud will be integrated into Kolab 3.0 by final release.
