modernised version

[eilandert]

I'm trying to update/maintain a modern version of this, with all security holes plugged, hardening and mitigation.
it's on https://github.com/eilandert/vImbadmin

I need testers, if i am 100% convinced it works I'll commit back.

Very nice! I will take a look. This is all the migration I need? What I mean is, what's the path to upgrade from 3.4.1 to your version?

vimbadmin has it's own upgrade system, the migration is included and automaticly. if that doesn't happen there is also a new maintenance tab where you can check/apply new db schema, and if that doesn't happen you can do it by hand with that SQL file :)

Besides that, you can throw away all scripts, vimbadmin can talk directly with dovecot-http via the REST api, examples are in the contrib directory.

note, currently i am tearing out the ZF1 framework (it was retired in 2016) to make the code feature-proof again. everything should work but there might be glitches. I think i'm done with the refactor in a couple of days.

That's great! I'll wait and follow your repo for the ZF1 withdrawal before trying the new Vimbadmin. Thanks!

ZF1 is ripped out.

demo preview is on https://vimbadmin.myguard.nl/
(there is no dovecot so mailbox archiving won't work)

@eilandert I will try it out this evening, myguard.nl is blocked at work. 😆
