gromox-mkprivate(8)

📦 version 3.6, in alpine 3.24, opensuse-leap 16.0

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to gromox-mkprivate(8) from the Gromox admin reference ✨ — it’s literally the tool for creating a blank private store. Blank. Private. Store. That’s the whole vibe, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

The summoning ritual is exactly this:

gromox-mkprivate [-Uv] [-T template_dir] [-c config] [-f] username

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -T path — use this to override the built-in data path for folder name translations and prepopulated named properties. Default: /usr/share/gromox 🌸
  • -U — instead of creating the SQLite file, upgrade it. Heads up: -f has no effect when you do this. mkprivate does not coordinate with exmdb_provider(4gx), and data corruption is possible if both try to edit the file at the same time 😭💀. You should let exmdb_provider(4gx) do upgrades instead, via the "exmdb_schema_upgrades" directive, or at the very least stop http(8gx)/exmdb_provider when using mkprivate -U.
  • -c config — read configuration directives from the given file. If this option is not specified, /etc/gromox/mysql_adaptor.cfg will be read for MySQL connection parameters if that file exists 🫶
  • -f — force overwrite when an existing SQLite database is detected for the user. By default, mkprivate will not touch exchange.sqlite3 🙈
  • -v — turn on verbose mode for -U 🦋
  • --create-old — create blank initial database using version 0. This can be used for testing the upgrade procedure 🧚
  • --integrity — perform SQLite integrity check, either standalone or, if -U is also given, as part of an upgrade ⭐
  • -? — display option summary 👑

🗂️ FILES 🗂️

These are the files it cares about, bestie:

  • data_file_path/folder_names.txt: translations for essential folders in a message store 💌
  • data_file_path/propnames.txt: initial set of named properties to add to the new private store 🎀
  • /var/lib/gromox/.../exmdb/exchange.sqlite3: MAPI object database 💾
