Conneting to ziggo homedrive with webdav using Ubuntu

Homedrive webdav settingsConnecting to the webdav server of my provider Ziggo is easy. Just use Ubuntu's 'connect to server' function. As you can see from the screenshot you need the following user data:

  • Server name: homedrive.ziggo.nl
  • Directory: user @ home.nl
  • User name: user @ home.nl

It is recommended that you create a bookmark (here: Homedrive). This way you can click the bookmark in Nautilus and enter the given directory.

Renew SSL certificate for Dovecot

For some reason Dovecot started to complain about an expired ssl certificate. Well, actually my mail client thunderbird complained. In order to renew the certificate I used the following commands:
openssl genrsa -out server.key 1024
openssl req -new -x509 -key server.key -out server.pem -days 1826
cp server.key /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
cp server.pem /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem

The important bit while creating the certificate is the common name. Fill in localhost or your server's domain name.
