Zimbra Collaboration v10 includes the Zimbra MTA, the Zimbra LDAP server, and the Zimbra mailbox server. In a single-server installation, all components are installed on one server and require no additional manual configuration.
As of the end of 2023, Zimbra officially no longer produces binary installers for the Open Source Edition. The last version of Zimbra Open Source Edition was Zimbra version 8.8.15.
The process above is certainly not as easy as the patch process directly from the official Zimbra. The patch process from the official Zimbra is simply running the apt update command (Ubuntu) or yum/dnf update (Redhat family). This process can be done when using Zimbra Network Edition.
for those who want to migrate/upgrade from Zimbra OSE to Zimbra NE, here are the installation procedures for Zimbra version 10 (Daffodil) Network Edition.
In this article, I use Rocky Linux 8 / 9 as the OS for Zimbra NE.

# Extract and install Zimbra 10 NE
Before performing the installation process, run the “screen” command first so that the process runs in the background process. If we perform the installation remotely (via SSH for example) and suddenly the connection is lost, the process continues. We simply reconnect to the server and run the “screen -x” command to enter the previous screen session
