In a typical Multi-Server, each of the services represented by the red boxes (Core Components) should be installed on a dedicated node, whereas all the other (i.e., the Optional Components in the orange boxes) can be combined and installed on any node, even on a dedicated one. This contrasts with Single-Server, where all packages are installed on the same node. Instead of using a separate node, User Management might be put on the AppServer node. We demonstrate how to build up a cluster of six nodes and merge the various responsibilities played by Carbonio CE in the Multi-Server Installation scenario we use as an example. One or more software packages can be installed on the Carbonio CE to add a Role, which is a capability that is regarded as atomic.
Dependencies are represented in Fig. 1 by the boxes stacked on top of each other. In other words, the Proxy Node must have all *-UI packages installed, which contain the files required to allow users to see the Module.
The Postgres/DB-Connection role serves as an example of a specific situation. Although Carbonio CE may be set up to connect to a Postgres database directly, it is advised to set up a middleware (PgPool-II) in order to be independent of the underlying database or databases and be able to grow without having to set up numerous Postgres instances or even a Postgres cluster.
Core Elements
- both internal and exterior clients must be able to resolve their hostname.
- they have setup the DNS server with proper FQDN, PTR, MX, and A records.
- They may be reached via the Internet.
Alternative Parts
- Files-CE. gives users the ability to exchange and save documents. Additionally, Files-ui, Files-db, and Storages-CE play a part in this function by providing user interface files for Files-CE and scripts that initialise the Carbonio Files database and connections to it, respectively.
- DB-connection. This function has the job of enabling communication between Carbonio CE and the database, which is provided by the packages carbonio-files-db and carbonio–mailbox-db. The administration of the DB instance(s) would be more adaptable and scalable with the usage of Pgpool-II.
- Create thumbnail pictures of documents with the Preview-CE role.
- Docs-CE. features collaborative editing and is made up of docs-connection-CE, docs-editor, and docs-core.
- User Control. It registers user characteristics (such as which AppServer a user is logged in on) and user status (logged in or out).
- The admin panel. The main administrative hub where Carbonio CE Supported Mail Protocols configuration parameters are managed
There are several protocols that Carbonio CE supports.
- POP3, POP3S
- The secure protocols of SMTP SPTMS (SMTP over TLS/SSL) and SSMTP
- The secure protocol of IMAP IMAP over SSL, or IMAPS
