SOGo

SOGo is used for accessing your mails via a webbrowser, adding and sharing your contacts or calendars. For a more in-depth documentation on SOGo please visit its own documentation.

Apply custom SOGo theme

mailcow builds after 28 January 2021 can change SOGo's theme by editing data/conf/sogo/custom-theme.js. Please check the AngularJS Material intro and documentation as well as the material style guideline to learn how this works.

You can use the provided custom-theme.js as an example starting point by removing the comments. After you modified data/conf/sogo/custom-theme.js and made changes to your new SOGo theme you need to

1. edit data/conf/sogo/sogo.conf and append/set SOGoUIxDebugEnabled = YES;

2. restart SOGo and Memcached containers by executing the command:

docker compose restart memcached-mailcow sogo-mailcow

docker-compose restart memcached-mailcow sogo-mailcow

3. open SOGo in browser

4. open browser developer console, usually shortcut is F12

5. only if you use Firefox: write by hands in dev console allow pasting and press enter

6. paste java script snipet in dev console: 

copy([].slice.call(document.styleSheets)
  .map(e => e.ownerNode)
  .filter(e => e.hasAttribute('md-theme-style'))
  .map(e => e.textContent)
  .join('\n')
)

7. open text editor and paste data from clipboard (Ctrl+V), you should get minified CSS, save it

8. copy CSS file to mailcow server data/conf/sogo/custom-theme.css

9. edit data/conf/sogo/sogo.conf and set SOGoUIxDebugEnabled = NO;

10. append/create docker-compose.override.yml with: 

version: '2.1'

services:
  sogo-mailcow:
    volumes:
      - ./data/conf/sogo/custom-theme.css:/usr/lib/GNUstep/SOGo/WebServerResources/css/theme-default.css:z

11. Run: 

docker compose up -d

docker-compose up -d

12. Run: 

docker compose restart memcached-mailcow

docker-compose restart memcached-mailcow

Reset to SOGo default theme

1. checkout data/conf/sogo/custom-theme.js by executing git fetch ; git checkout origin/master data/conf/sogo/custom-theme.js data/conf/sogo/custom-theme.js

2. find in data/conf/sogo/custom-theme.js: 

// Apply new palettes to the default theme, remap some of the hues
    $mdThemingProvider.theme('default')
      .primaryPalette('green-cow', {
        'default': '400',  // background color of top toolbars
        'hue-1': '400',
        'hue-2': '600',    // background color of sidebar toolbar
        'hue-3': 'A700'
      })
      .accentPalette('green', {
        'default': '600',  // background color of fab buttons and login screen
        'hue-1': '300',    // background color of center list toolbar
        'hue-2': '300',    // highlight color for selected mail and current day calendar
        'hue-3': 'A700'
      })
      .backgroundPalette('frost-grey');
and replace it with: 
    $mdThemingProvider.theme('default');

3. remove from docker-compose.override.yml volume mount in sogo-mailcow: 

- ./data/conf/sogo/custom-theme.css:/usr/lib/GNUstep/SOGo/WebServerResources/css/theme-default.css:z

4. Run: 

docker compose up -d

docker-compose up -d

5. Run: 

docker compose restart memcached-mailcow

docker-compose restart memcached-mailcow

Change favicon

mailcow builds after 31 January 2021 can change SOGo's favicon by replacing data/conf/sogo/custom-favicon.ico for SOGo and data/web/favicon.png for mailcow UI. Note: You can use .png favicons for SOGo by renaming them to custom-favicon.ico. For both SOGo and mailcow UI favicons you need use one of the standard dimensions: 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, 128x128 and 256x256. After you replaced said file you need to restart SOGo and Memcached containers by executing:

docker compose restart memcached-mailcow sogo-mailcow

docker-compose restart memcached-mailcow sogo-mailcow

mailcow builds after 21 December 2018 can change SOGo's logo by replacing or creating (if missing) data/conf/sogo/sogo-full.svg. After you replaced said file you need to restart SOGo and Memcached containers by executing:

docker compose restart memcached-mailcow sogo-mailcow

docker-compose restart memcached-mailcow sogo-mailcow

Connect domains

Domains are usually isolated from eachother.

You can change that by modifying data/conf/sogo/sogo.conf:

Search... 

   // SOGoDomainsVisibility = (
    //  (domain1.tld, domain5.tld),
    //  (domain3.tld, domain2.tld)
    // );
...and replace it by - for example:

    SOGoDomainsVisibility = (
      (example.org, example.com, example.net)
    );

Restart SOGo:

docker compose restart sogo-mailcow

docker-compose restart sogo-mailcow

Enable password changing

The password change option in SOGo is disabled by default because it:

  • doesn't take into account the password policy set in the mailcow UI
  • doesn't work when the user is logged in into SOGo using the Login to Webmail function in the mailcow UI (Auth Proxy)

If you still want enable this option edit data/conf/sogo/sogo.conf and change SOGoPasswordChangeEnabled to YES. Please do not add a new parameter.

Run this command to activate the changes:

docker compose restart memcached-mailcow sogo-mailcow

docker-compose restart memcached-mailcow sogo-mailcow

Reset TOTP / Disable TOTP

Run the following command from within the mailcow directory:

docker compose exec -u sogo sogo-mailcow sogo-tool user-preferences set defaults user@example.com SOGoTOTPEnabled '{"SOGoTOTPEnabled":0}'

docker-compose exec -u sogo sogo-mailcow sogo-tool user-preferences set defaults user@example.com SOGoTOTPEnabled '{"SOGoTOTPEnabled":0}'
