Is it possible to install 19.1 without Docker?

My I ask why you want to install without Docker?

The RPM/DEB packages use Docker now, thought you can also use Docker directly with our published docker-compose file.

If you want an installation without Docker, you can use composer, following the instructions for a development install: https://github.com/EGroupware/egroupware#installing-egroupware-development-version
This will also work to follow the 19.1 branch (once it’s created) or the (maintenance-)release tags.

Docker requires the web server to use LVM or BTRFS, neither of which is enabled on my webserver.
My webserver runs inside a VM (on top of Xen, using shared storage directly from SAN/NAS infrastructure)

Using Docker means I will need to make substantial changes to the webserver (adding and enabling docker support and LVM) and underlying infrastructure (iSCSI luns to the webserver + modifications to the backup system) to make this work which I would prefer to avoid if at all possible.

Marking this as solved as answer was provided seperately.
(composer/git still works when correct label is added)
