Question Roundcube 1.5

[Achim Drees]

The April Question:
news about Roundcube 1.5.x?

 

[Maarten]

You do understand that the development team has a lot of issues they're working on, right? Asking every other week when it's ready really won't make a difference. It's a tricky update that needs to be carefully prepared so it works on all supported operating systems without breaking anything:

Besides the above issues, there is also the bugfixes, major updates, translations, extensions, preparations for future updates as shown in the 2022 Roadmap:

Plesk at CloudFest 2022

Last week, we finally saw the long-awaited return of CloudFest to its original and physical form at the wonderful Europa Park in Germany. In between the rollercoasters left and right, it was a thrilling ride to be able to go from booth to booth in person again. At last, the Plesk team was firmly...

Is there any best practices/step-by-step for upgrading Roundcube manually (Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS / Plesk 18)? Thx!

Is there any best practices/step-by-step for upgrading Roundcube manually (Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS / Plesk 18)? Thx!

1. Important, otherwise it won't send mails after update
make a backup of
usr/share/psa-roundcube/config/config.inc.php
and
usr/share/psa-roundcube/config/defaults.inc.php

2.
cd /tmp/
mkdir roundcube
cd roundcube/
wget https://github.com/roundcube/roundc...d/1.6-rc/roundcubemail-1.6-rc-complete.tar.gz
tar xvf roundcubemail-1.6-rc-complete.tar.gz
rm roundcubemail-1.6-rc-complete.tar.gz
cd roundcubemail-1.6-rc/
bin/installto.sh /usr/share/psa-roundcube

3. copy your backup of config.inc.php and defaults.inc.php back to usr/share/psa-roundcube/config/

Bonus Tip: in the /usr/share/psa-roundcube/plugins are lot of unused plugins by the plesk default config, you activate them by editing your config.inc.php file
mine looks like:
$config['plugins'] = ['filesystem_attachments', 'Enigma', 'jqueryui', 'managesieve','markasjunk','password','zipdownload'];

I use rspamd instead of SpamAssassin which feels 20 years more advanced. there is a tutorial a user posted in this forum.

PS.: this is for the latest roundcoube 1.6.rc, the other not so bleeding-edge releases are found on their github

@herrMartin Any post-upgrade issues or side effects?

 

[Andreas Mause]

There should be a howto wiki to make a default plesk installion more modern. tweaks and software.
there is a lot of stuff which is far better and more modern than the commercial extensions for plesk.
I mean roundcube, even with the included (in plesk not activated) plugins is much more functional.
especially how to get rid of the super outdated spamassassin and install rspamd. Maybe someone with much more knowlage can do a special installscript for plesk installations.
maybe someone might even have a nice solution / script to install clamav with windows defintions. Because in reality this would be helpful.

 

[herrMartin]

btw. haven't tried after the last two updates, but is autodiscover finally working?

 

[Andreas Mause]

@herrMartin Update done! Hope it will not overwritten by Plesk ...

If so, fortunately, it is just a 1-min task to get it back.

RoundCube 1.5.3 relased....

 

[herrMartin]

and plesk still ignores the packet update lock in their latest obsidian update. rc was again downgraded to 1.4.... took me 2 min agai to update it to the latest version

 

[DracoBlue]

version 1.5 came out in 2021. still no update released ... it's already in development 1.6 beta. when will plesk finally update the roundcube?

btw 1.6 rc is working great here since it came out

 

[petrosvw]

I'm running 1.6 with good results for some time now.

Same steps as above needed (copy configs, install roundcube and replace the config with the one you copied.)
Only difference is in the smtp and imap settings as described here: Roundcube 1.6.0 released

Plesk Support 1.6 relased! Please update roundcube!!
