DadaMail is a powerful email marketing software that allows you to send newsletters and other marketing emails to your subscribers. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install DadaMail on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, you will need:
DadaMail requires a web server, a database, and PHP to run. We will install the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) before installing DadaMail.
Run the following command to install the LAMP stack on Arch Linux:
sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache mariadb
Once the installation is complete, start the web server and MariaDB service with the following commands:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl start mariadb
Then enable them to start at boot time:
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
To install DadaMail, we will first download the latest version from the official website using wget:
wget https://dadamailproject.com/d/install_dada_mail.pl
After the download is finished, make the script executable using the chmod command:
chmod +x install_dada_mail.pl
Now, we will run the installer script with the following command:
sudo perl install_dada_mail.pl
The installation process will start, and you will be prompted to answer a few questions. Follow the instructions, and the installation should be completed in a few minutes.
After the installation is finished, you will need to configure DadaMail. Navigate to the DadaMail installation directory with the following command:
cd /var/www/html/dada
Then, run the following command to start the configuration wizard:
sudo ./dadacli.pl install_wizard
Follow the instructions in the wizard to configure DadaMail. You will be prompted to enter your database credentials and some other settings.
To test the installation, open a web browser and navigate to http://your-server-ip/dada. You should see the DadaMail login page.
Log in using the email address and password you created during the installation process. After logging in, you should be able to create your mailing lists and start sending newsletters.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed DadaMail on Arch Linux.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
