Dovecot Baikal Z-Push

Introduction

I was asked by somebody if i could share my configuration for Z-Push, which i am using with Dovecot as the IMAP backend and Baikal Server (v0.2.7, NOT 2.0) as the CardDAV and CalDAV backend.

Some of these configuration settings may be deprecated or renamed in the future, as Z-Push is constantly being improved, but they work fine right now (May 2015), and should give you a general guide how to get it running yourself.

I'll assume you already have working Dovecot and Baikal setups running, so i'll skip those parts and go straight to the Z-Push configurations.

Z-Push

Checkout the master branch of Z-Push from Github and make sure that's it accessible on your webserver. Basically follow the provided installation instructions so that it's theoretically usable, maybe take it for a spin with just the IMAP backend.

Below are only the settings i changed from their defaults, without comments.

config.php

I am using SQL for the State Machine, but FILE should work just as well. Ignore those SQL-related settings if you stick to the default.

define('USE_FULLEMAIL_FOR_LOGIN', true);
define('PRE_AUTHORIZE_USERS', true);
define('PRE_AUTHORIZE_NEW_USERS', true);
define('PRE_AUTHORIZE_NEW_DEVICES', true);
define('STATE_MACHINE', 'SQL');
define('STATE_SQL_DSN', 'mysql:host=localhost;port=3306;dbname=z-push');
define('STATE_SQL_USER', 'z-push');
define('STATE_SQL_PASSWORD', '<password>');
define('LOGLEVEL', LOGLEVEL_WARN);
define('LOGAUTHFAIL', true);
define('LOOSE_PROVISIONING', true);
define('BACKEND_PROVIDER', 'BackendCombined');
