HyperKitty is an open-source mailing list archiver developed by the Mailman project. It allows users to easily browse, search, and manage archived emails in a web interface. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install HyperKitty on Clear Linux Latest.
Before installing HyperKitty, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your Clear Linux system:
HyperKitty depends on several Python libraries, so you need to install them first. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-postgresql devpkg-python3-devel devpkg-python3-setuptools
This command installs PostgreSQL, Python3, Python3-devel, and Python3-setuptools bundles.
Now that we have installed the required dependencies, we can proceed with installing HyperKitty. We will be using pip to install it.
Run the following command to install HyperKitty:
sudo pip install hyperkitty
After installing HyperKitty, we need to configure it to work with Mailman Core.
Open the /etc/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg file and make the following changes:
[general]
...
# HyperKitty URL
url = http://localhost:8000/
# Mailman Core REST API URL
mailman_rest_api_url = http://localhost:8001/3.0/
...
[storage]
...
# PostgreSQL database settings
sqlalchemy.url = postgresql+psycopg2://<username>:<password>@localhost/hyperkitty
Make sure to replace <username> and <password> with your PostgreSQL username and password.
Next, we have to create a PostgreSQL database for HyperKitty. Run the following command to create a new database:
sudo -u postgres createdb -O <username> hyperkitty
Again, make sure to replace <username> with your PostgreSQL username.
We're almost done. Now, we can start the HyperKitty server and test our installation.
Run the following command to start the HyperKitty server on port 8000:
hyperkitty-server -b 0.0.0.0:8000 &
That's it! You can now access HyperKitty by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install HyperKitty on Clear Linux Latest. With HyperKitty, you can easily manage archived emails in a web interface. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below.
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!
