Impacted versions

OS Type: CentOS
OS Version: 9
Database Type: installer based

Steps to reproduce

clone repro like instructions
run install like instructions

Current behavior

The process can be long, feel free to take a coffee and come back later ;)
Starting...
Generating new self-signed certificate

Failed to find amavis database schema

Expected behavior

Install the mailserver without errors.

Is there a fix for this please? I evaluated lots of mailservers and this project is nice and lean but unable to install it.

Hi,

Centos 9 is not supported by the installer. Please follow the manual installation process

I found out, centOS 8 is however not an option.
I found git clone https://github.com/Spitfireap/modoboa-installer.git && cd modoboa-installer && git checkout centos9-support perhaps it works, if not i try manual install thank you.

For now, the installer only supports centos 7. You can use the centos9-support of modoba-installer, but this is a work in progress. @tomas-kucera wanted to finish the support integration, but he doesn't have time for now, I guess. It should work, but it requires you to disable SE-Linux.

I'm closing the issue, if you find any bug please continue the discussion here ;)
