Its modular architecture makes it scalable, extensible, and customizable, ensuring organizations full control over their data.
Distributed under AGPL license, WebTop is a transparent and collaborative project: source code, documentation, and installation tools are freely available on GitHub.
In-depth (technical/detailed)
WebTop is a modular framework for web-based applications oriented towards collaboration. It consists of:
- a Core, which exposes internal APIs and fundamental services such as authentication, administration, permission management, user environment configuration;
- auxiliary libraries (general utilities, JavaMail extensions, CalDAV implementations, etc.);
- main collaborative services: Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Cloud;
- synchronization servers: DAV Server (CalDAV / CardDAV), EAS Server (ActiveSync) for mobile devices;
- interfaces and APIs (Java / REST / JavaScript) to extend the system and integrate it with other tools.
Requirements and Installation
WebTop is compatible with Unix/Linux, macOS, and Windows systems, and requires:
- Java environment with servlet server (e.g., Apache Tomcat)
- PostgreSQL database with dedicated extensions (tablefunc, uuid-ossp, rrule_functions)
The configuration includes customizable parameters, “home” directories for data and logs, and the possibility of deployment behind a reverse proxy.
