iRedMail is an open source email server software that allows you to setup and manage a full-featured mail server. In this tutorial, we will go over the iRedMail installation process on Arch Linux.
Before starting the iRedMail installation process, make sure your Arch Linux system is up-to-date with the latest package updates. Run the following command:
pacman -Syu
Install the required packages by running the following command:
pacman -S postfix dovecot mariadb opendkim opendmarc fail2ban wget vim
SELinux and Firewalld are not necessary for the iRedMail installation and may cause issues. Disable them by running the following commands:
systemctl stop firewalld
systemctl disable firewalld
Download the latest version of iRedMail using the following command:
wget https://github.com/iredmail/iRedMail/archive/1.3.2.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded archive using the following command:
tar -zxvf 1.3.2.tar.gz
Run the following command to start the iRedMail installation script:
cd iRedMail-1.3.2/
bash iRedMail.sh
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation process. You will be prompted for information such as domain name, email account details, and MariaDB password.
Once the installation is complete, you should see a message indicating that iRedMail has been successfully installed.
Access the iRedMail web interface by navigating to https://your-server-ip/iredadmin/ in your web browser. You will need to login using the email address and password you provided during the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed iRedMail on Arch Linux. You can now start using your new email server.
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!
