AnonAddy is a privacy-focused forwarding service that allows you to create aliases for your email address. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing AnonAddy on Clear Linux Latest.
Before you start with the installation, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to install the necessary dependencies required for AnonAddy. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo swupd bundle-add ruby-basic
This command will download and install the latest version of Ruby on your Clear Linux machine along with its dependencies.
Once you have installed the required dependencies, the next step is to download and install AnonAddy. You can do this by running the following commands in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/anonaddy/anonaddy.git
cd anonaddy/
gem install bundler --no-document
bundle install --without test development
This will download the latest version of AnonAddy from its official Github repository and install all necessary dependencies.
After installing AnonAddy, you need to configure it to work with your domain name. You can do this by editing the config.yml file located in the anonaddy directory using your preferred text editor.
nano /path/to/anonaddy/config/config.yml
Replace path/to/anonaddy with the actual path to your AnonAddy installation directory. In the config.yml file, you need to specify your domain name along with the SMTP settings for your email server.
domain: example.com
smtp:
address: smtp.example.com
port: 587
domain: example.com
username: anonaddy@example.com
password: your_password
Make sure to replace the above settings with your own domain name, SMTP settings, and email address.
After configuring AnonAddy, you can start the service using the following command:
cd /path/to/anonaddy
bundle exec rackup -E production -o 0.0.0.0
Replace path/to/anonaddy with the actual path to your AnonAddy installation directory. This command will start AnonAddy on port 9292.
You can now test if AnonAddy is working by visiting http://your_domain.com:9292 on your web browser. Replace your_domain.com with your actual domain name. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the AnonAddy login page.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install AnonAddy on Clear Linux Latest. Now you can set up your own privacy-focused email forwarding service and keep your personal email address private.
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!
