Prerequisites for Running Tests

System Requirements

Modern Linux system with hardware virtualization support (Intel VT-x or AMD-V)
At least 100GB free disk space (for ISOs and VM images)
At least 16GB RAM (recommended for running multiple VMs)
Internet connection for downloading ISOs

Software Requirements

QEMU: sudo apt install qemu-system-x86 qemu-utils
Java 17+
Docker
Git

Automated Setup Requirements

./scripts/iso_manager.sh - Download and verify ISOs
./scripts/qemu_manager.sh - Create and manage VMs
./scripts/test_all_distributions.sh - Execute tests across all distributions

Testing Process

Phase 1: ISO Preparation

# Download all ISOs for supported distributions
./scripts/iso_manager.sh download

# Verify all ISOs
./scripts/iso_manager.sh verify

# List available ISOs
./scripts/iso_manager.sh list

Phase 2: VM Creation

# Create VMs for all supported distributions
# Note: VM creation parameters vary based on distribution requirements

# Ubuntu distributions
./scripts/qemu_manager.sh create ubuntu-22 4096 20G 2
./scripts/qemu_manager.sh create ubuntu-24 4096 20G 2

# Debian distributions  
./scripts/qemu_manager.sh create debian-11 4096 20G 2
./scripts/qemu_manager.sh create debian-12 4096 20G 2

# Fedora distributions
./scripts/qemu_manager.sh create fedora-38 8192 40G 4
./scripts/qemu_manager.sh create fedora-39 8192 40G 4
./scripts/qemu_manager.sh create fedora-40 8192 40G 4
./scripts/qemu_manager.sh create fedora-41 8192 40G 4

# RHEL-based distributions
./scripts/qemu_manager.sh create almalinux-9 8192 40G 4
./scripts/qemu_manager.sh create rocky-9 8192 40G 4
./scripts/qemu_manager.sh create rhel-9 8192 40G 4

# SUSE distribution
./scripts/qemu_manager.sh create opensuse-15 8192 40G 4

Phase 3: OS Installation and Configuration

Each VM will be automatically configured based on the distribution type:

Ubuntu: Uses cloud-init with autoinstall for automated installation
Debian: Uses preseed configuration for automated installation
Fedora/RHEL/AlmaLinux/Rocky: Uses kickstart for automated installation
openSUSE: Uses AutoYaST configuration for automated installation

Phase 4: Mail Server Factory Installation

After OS installation completes in each VM:

Ensure Docker is installed and running in the VM
Configure SSH access for the Mail Server Factory
Run the Mail Server Factory with the appropriate configuration file

Phase 5: Automated Testing

# Test all distributions
./scripts/test_all_distributions.sh all

# Test specific distribution
./scripts/test_all_distributions.sh single Ubuntu_22

# Generate test report
./scripts/test_all_distributions.sh report

Configuration Files

Each distribution has a corresponding configuration file in the Examples/ directory:

Examples/Ubuntu_22.json - Ubuntu 22.04 configuration
Examples/Ubuntu_24.json - Ubuntu 24.04 configuration
Examples/Debian_11.json - Debian 11 configuration
Examples/Debian_12.json - Debian 12 configuration
Examples/RHEL_9.json - RHEL 9 configuration
Examples/AlmaLinux_9.json - AlmaLinux 9 configuration
Examples/Rocky_9.json - Rocky Linux 9 configuration
Examples/Fedora_Server_38.json - Fedora Server 38 configuration
Examples/Fedora_Server_39.json - Fedora Server 39 configuration
Examples/Fedora_Server_40.json - Fedora Server 40 configuration
Examples/Fedora_Server_41.json - Fedora Server 41 configuration
Examples/openSUSE_Leap_15.json - openSUSE Leap 15.6 configuration

Expected Test Results

Mail Server Components

After successful installation, the following components should be operational:

PostgreSQL - Main database server
Dovecot - IMAP/POP3 server
