In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install SimpleLogin on Alpine Linux. SimpleLogin is an open-source email forwarding, passwordless authentication, and private email service provider.
Before getting started, please make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Firstly, we need to update the apt package manager and install the required packages. Please run the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
sudo apk add curl gnupg nginx certbot certbot-nginx certbot-ssl
Now, we need to add the SimpleLogin repository key to your Alpine Linux system. Please run the following command:
sudo curl -fsSLo /etc/apk/keys/repo.simplelogin.io.key "https://repo.simplelogin.io/public.key"
Next, we need to add the SimpleLogin repository to the Alpine Linux system. Please run the following command:
sudo echo "https://repo.simplelogin.io/alpine/edge/main" >> /etc/apk/repositories
We can now install SimpleLogin by running the following command:
sudo apk add simplelogin
To configure Nginx for SimpleLogin, we need to create a new server block. Please run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/simplelogin.conf
Add the following configuration to the file and save it:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:80;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
}
To obtain an SSL certificate, we need to run the Certbot command. Please run the following command:
sudo certbot --nginx -d example.com
Finally, we can start the SimpleLogin service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start simplelogin
Congratulations! You have now successfully installed SimpleLogin on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now start using the email forwarding, passwordless authentication, and private email service provided by SimpleLogin.
