Linux Solutions is my site which provides solutions for Linux :)
Seriously though, this site originally started a short while after I started my Linux journey. Back in 2005, I started to learn and use Linux on an every-day basis. Initially starting with Mandrake 10.0, before switching and using various other distros up to the present-day including Arch, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu. I have RHCSA and RHCE certifications.
This site then came about for me to share my knowledge with others, various written How-To's, etc, etc. However, during the last year or two, I took that site down since a lot of the content was based on things done over 10 years ago. So I wanted to look at creating a replacement, but hadn't any ideas of what to do. At least until now!
Over the last year or so, I've been creating and maintaining my Zimbra Build Helper script, which allows you to quickly and effortlessly build Zimbra OSE edition using the Zimbra Build repositories. This was because Zimbra stopped providing OSE builds for the Zimbra Community when 9.0.0 was released. After attempting to build it myself, found that it would be a good idea to collate all the information, and then script it all to take care of the entire process with minimal input from the end-user. I figured this would be far better than just creating a How-To for people to follow - mainly because otherwise it'll end up in another situation like most - out-of-date.
In addition to this, I thought it would also be a good idea to provide those builds for the Zimbra Community to download and utilise, if they didn't want to build Zimbra themselves utilising my scripts. It gives the best of both worlds - keep things simple, and also provide something that can help others build it themselves.
I will look to expand this site further in the future with more and more ideas or helpful things I can put together to help others and make things easier for them. Until then, enjoy the site, and what I have put together so far!

The Zimbra OSE Builds can now be downloaded from their new location - TechFiles.online Zimbra OSE Builds as they have been removed from this site. This is because I'm planning to do something else with my Linux blog and purchased a new domain where I'll be publishing the Zimbra Builds as well as other builds that I have been starting to do (eg: DEB/RPM builds) so it made more sense to find a new home/site for them with my new domain. You can find the script on my Github profile from the menu above or by clicking here to go directly to the project repository if you are wishing to build Zimbra yourself.
The Zimbra Build Script is provided as-is. I cannot be held responsible for any adverse affects it may cause. Every care and effort has been taken to ensure the script builds Zimbra as intended by Zimbra themselves. If you have any issues with the build script, please open an issue on the Zimbra Build script project repository from the link provided above, or by visiting my Github profile.
The Zimbra OSE builds are provided as-is. I cannot be held responsible for any adverse affects they may cause. You use them at your own risk! If you do not wish to utilise my builds, please feel free to use the script to build your own, or by following Zimbra's build instructions here. The build process relies on what Zimbra provides, so if the patches are not provided in Zimbra's build repositories, then these builds will also not have them. I cannot be held responsible for any vulnerabilities that may exist in Zimbra. If Zimbra provides patches to their build repository, then these builds should also include these patches.
Builds will normally be updated once per quarter.
