Freebsd

Is there any interest in making an official FreeBSD capable installer ?

I see a few users reporting issues that run Modoboa on FreeBSD.

I have done some work on enhancing the installer to support FreeBSD, and it was about 80% working around version 2.0.0 and used that as my base install.

Supporting FreeBSD would be great so we're interested by any PR ;)

Ok, for the brave who follow, for FreeBSD about a dozen packages need to be built from ports, as the required options aren't there in the standard prebuilt package, which makes it a long process. Python packages are best installed using pip, for the same reason.

I'll complete a working version of the installer first with freebsd support added and post a link to it if anyone else wants to test it with build instructions for the port builds, which need to be installed first.

This will take a while, as I'm still finding issues that require packages to be rebuilt, as I didn't add everything at the begining.

Latest tricky one I'm working on is adding automx support to my production build. When I add automx to uwsgi, it breaks the uwsgi, taking out the web interfaces. Looks to be missing a needed build option.

Getting there, but merging changes since my initial working version about 12 months ago keeps breaking things that may be FreeBSD specific.
e.g. latest updated utils.exec_cmd() now hangs, and the added python.get_package_version() fails to work as expected.

Not sure why, but pip doesn't seem to bring in the most recent modoboa-postfix-autoreply, causing further unexpected issues.
