Roundcube 1.38 add plugin (on Ubuntu 18)

File locations are a bit all over the shop in this version, so this is how it works out. For reference

  • the actual program files are downloaded to /usr/share/roundcube/
  • the config happens in /etc/roundcube
  • the web directory is in /var/lib/roundcube, which contains symlinks to the above locations. This is the one you add to your nginx / apache config.
# Get the plugin and put it in the right place. In this case we're doing Filters plugin
cd /usr/share/roundcube/plugins/
wget https://github.com/6ec123321/filters/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip 
rm master.zip 
mv filters-master/ filters

# Symlink the web directory to the plugin you just downloaded.  
cd /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/
ln -s /usr/share/roundcube/plugins/filters/ 

# Edit the config to add the filters plugin. 
nano /etc/roundcube/config.inc.php 
eg. --->
    $config['plugins'] = array(
    'password',
    'filters',
    );
