In this tutorial we will guide you step by step on how to install SPF Toolbox on Debian Latest. SPF Toolbox is a free, web-based tool that assists in creating Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records for your domain. SPF records are a type of DNS record that help protect your email domain from being used by spammers.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
It's important to update your system before installing SPF Toolbox. Run the following command to update your system:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
SPF Toolbox requires several packages to be installed on the system. Use the following command to install these packages:
sudo apt-get install apache2 php php-curl php-gd php-xml git
Clone the SPF Toolbox repository to your web server document root directory using the following command:
cd /var/www/html/ && sudo git clone https://github.com/rohit-kapoor/spftoolbox.git
Create a new virtual host file for SPF Toolbox by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/spftoolbox.conf
Copy and paste the following code into the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/spftoolbox
ServerName yourdomain.com
ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<Directory /var/www/html/spftoolbox/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com with your own domain and subdomain names. Save the changes and exit the text editor.
Enable the virtual host by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite spftoolbox.conf
Restart Apache service to apply the changes:
sudo service apache2 restart
Open your web browser and navigate to http://yourdomain.com. You should see the SPF Toolbox homepage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed SPF Toolbox on Debian Latest. To generate an SPF record for your domain, follow the instructions on the SPF Toolbox website.
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!
