RE: the ldap line about 4-byte utf-8 .. if that's what I think it is, it's also common to the latest version of Nextcoud .. the MariaDB tables for Nextcloud (and, I suspect, kopano) require the 4-byte capability to support emojis. It only applies to those tables and is easier to put in place and it's a one-time conversion - I've got the latest version of Nextcloud living in its own virtual web subdomain running php 7.2 (on a COS7 server using the 7.2 option of the php-engine app).

if i look at the network map, i can see some devices defaulted to their default ip address which really makes me think it is a dhcp or nat problem...

i also have nodejs installed and running. about four weeks ago i wrote a service startup script to start my alarm integration server to smartthings (node), so naturally i was thinking that was the cause. but not so much anymore.

Sometimes I fake out my system so that it thinks there are multiple NICs so that I can use the MultiWAN. I do this if I know that I'm going to add a NIC later.

Set up a bridge and have it be external but don't put any interfaces on it. You can also do that with a VLAN.

I've talked with Tyler and will coordinate with Shad to see if we can get a testing repo as a sort of mirror for the latest updates. That way we can simply push any patches from Kopano that don't break things. I need to get approval from Kopano to do this though because this isn't open source and I cannot simply distribute without their approval. I'll update you Tuesday or after once I have a few days to work through some of the contacting and logistics.

Hi Patrick,

Is there something missing from your post about /etc/kopano/ldap.cfg?

Your post is not particularly good news either as it will take developer control. A developer will have to monitor the app updates, and concoct a suitable upgrade script to tweak the parameters and sort the database out. This is the sort of issue I was alluding to earlier.

FWIW, it is possible to test incoming e-mails a bit. If you give your VM mailserver subdomain, e.g. my domain is howitts.co.uk. My testbox is microserver.howitts.co.uk. Also add this to your main server SMTP Settings > Mail Forwarding. Then you can send test e-mails to your VM e.g test@microserver.howitts.co.uk. If you can sort out your external DNS you can even receive e-mails externally. I would have to add an MX record for microserver.howitts.co.uk pointing to my WAN IP. You can do the same with your VM's poweredbyclear.com DDNS. You may get away without and MX record if you have an A record instead (which the poweredbyclear.com DDNS has)

Also, do you have 2 (or more) NICs. MultiWAN must have two and you need to have valid pipes to the internet. Let us say for example that your two External NICs are eno1 and enp2s0f1, you should have success running the following:

ping -I eno1 8.8.8.8
ping -I enp2s0f1 8.8.8.8

That is a minus capital-'I' as in indigo.

Do you have the external NIC's connected. I think it is looping trying to get the status of the external NIC's and failing.

Thanks for the correction. I have fixed the developer comment.

I'm glad you are getting a good speed - I have 38M down
