similar to: Dsync replication

I have not seen mention of using dsync for clustering Dovecot in some time on the mailing list, but I believe Timo was going to write a wiki page when v2.2 became more mature. Does this documentation exist yet, or are there any resources on what dsync replication is capable of at this point (looking on the wiki and google didn't reveal much)? Thank in advance.

Hi, I want to set-up two dovecot imap servers, with active-active replicated maildirs. The goal is to have a hosted public server on Internet, and a private server on my LAN to speed-up local connections. So I compiled dovecot 2.0 beta 1 in order to use dsync utility... Actually my config is pretty simple as I just want to setup a proof of concept before going ahead in this way : (Both servers

Hi, I'm trying to configure replication with dsync on Dovecot 2.2.5 (and latest nightly). I did followed the guide at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication But I can get dsync-server working only if my users do not have access to shared mailboxes and / or public mailboxes which is problematic for our setup. dsync-server is trying to create folders in public/ namespace :

I can't get replication to work in Dovecot 2.2.1. I'm getting the following error on the machine where I'm initiating the replication: richatwork dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(richatwork): Error: dsync(local): Remote dsync doesn't use compatible protocol Both the local and remote servers are running identical versions of Dovecot (2.2.1), so I don't understand why I

Good day Guys Just wanted to pick the communities brain and experience(s) for a second. At $CORP where I work. My team has inherited a single server mail solution. We need to look to building a standby / replicated solution. One of the things we were looking at is https://wiki.dovecot.org/Replication We have in excess of +/- 500 mail boxes and using just under 1TB of disk space. That is a

Hi Guys, I would like to question why I see this errors in my logs. Let explain me! Dovecot version: 2.2.9 (on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) I?ve configured our dovecot servers (2 servers) to do the TCP replication with dsync. This is working flawless. 1. Question: In logs I can see this errors on every sync (on the ?slave? server / server without changes which should be updated):

Hi, I have a failover cluster for mail server with: Ubuntu12.04 + DRBD (for block replication) + Ext4 filesystem + Dovecot-2.0.19-2 with Mdbox It works fine with ~50k accounts. My cluster design: http://adminlinux.com.br/cluster_design.txt I plan to test Dovecot Replication with dsync to build an active/active cluster with load balancing. Can anyone direct me to some literature? A tutorial

Dear all I have a few public folders setup and working fine, and one such public folder is 'Public/General'. I'm trying to sort dsync replication out to another server and notice that the system log is full of error messages similar to: dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(username: Error: Can't update subscription Pu blic/General: Invalid mailbox name The replication setup

Hello, Although this issue has been raised in another thread: https://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot at dovecot.org/msg57281.html I decided I should create a new one dedicated on it because that thread includes other issues as well, and the issue in question still remains unresolved although it is an important one (and I am hoping to attract Timo's attention on it, too ;-) ). The

Hi, I'm trying to set up some dsync based replication between two hosts on my network. The current topology is a single server running Postfix with a single dovecot installation with a Maildir per user (only 4 users including myself). No NFS, just local system users on ext4. I am only using system users, ie no virtual users. I am using dovecot deliver to deliver mails into the

In dovecot-2.1 hg you can now test dsync-based replication. Everything isn't finished yet, but it appears to work and I've enabled it for my @dovecot.fi mails. Some issues: - public namespace isn't replicated at all - shared namespace is replicated, but not private mail flags - I've only tested SSH replication setup now, not director replication setup (and director setup

Hello I have configured replication using dsync. It fails with a message Error: Couldn't create lock /home/admin/.dovecot-sync.lock: No such file or directory This directory predictably does not exist - all my users are supposed to be virtual.? I can not find an option to switch this off. At the same time if I try manual replication I get segfault error Mar 30 17:17:24

I am running two servers with Dovecot v2.2.12 on CentOS x86_64 (5.10 and 6.5 respectively) and users are virtual over ldap. I have setup our main internal server (vmail.example.com) with dsync replication according to the first part of http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication. The second one (vmail1.example.com) will be the failover server which we want to be a real-time mirror (but can be

Hi all, I know that I can do a backup using doveadm: doveadm backup -u user ssh backup.server doveadm dsync-server -u user But it's possible to use replicator service to do the same job? Or dsync with replicator can only be used in a two-way environment? Thanks, Muriel

Hi I'm trying to build a cluster of two servers with dsync replication (based on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication). My test setup works fine for very simple tests, I can log in to both servers, copy a message to one of the servers and it successfully apperars in the other account. But, if I try to copy a large amount of messages at once to one of the accounts, my maillogs get flodded with

I am preparing a bit for setting up replication. However when I manually try to dsync an account, the first time I execute this[1] command it seems to be ok. The 2nd time I am getting this error[2]. If I add -1 (one way syncing) the error disappears. Does this mean I will have problems with setting up replication between these two servers? [1] [@ ~]# doveadm sync -n inbox -u testaccount

Please tell me about Dsync replicator. The following are set to enable the "replication" plug-in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf *---mail_plugins = notify replication---* And I made the following file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/30-dsync.conf *---service replicator { process_min_avail = 1} dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l%{login} %{host} doveadm dsync-server

So, even with a particular user only connecting to one node in the pair, you still see the issue? I'm not seeing that in my setup. I only see it when concurrently connecting the same user to two different nodes in the pair.
