In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Haraka, an open-source Node.js Mail Server.
Before installing Haraka on your Elementary OS, make sure you have:
To get started, open a terminal on your Elementary OS and execute the following command:
sudo npm install -g Haraka
This command will download and install the latest version of Haraka on your system.
After you have installed Haraka, it's time to configure it. To do this, change the directory to Haraka and run the setup wizard.
cd /usr/lib/node_modules/Haraka
sudo ./bin/haraka -i /etc/Haraka
This command will create a new directory at /etc/Haraka that will contain all of the configuration files for Haraka.
Haraka has several plugins that can be enabled to further enhance its functionality. You can find a full list of available plugins on the Haraka website.
To enable a plugin, use the following command:
sudo Haraka/bin/haraka -c /etc/Haraka -i plugin_name
Replace plugin_name with the name of the plugin you want to enable.
Once you have configured Haraka to your liking, start the Haraka daemon with the following command:
sudo Haraka/bin/haraka -c /etc/Haraka -x
This command will start the Haraka daemon, which will listen for incoming mail traffic on port 25.
In this article, you learned how to install and configure Haraka on your Elementary OS. Haraka is a powerful mail server that can be customized to meet the needs of your organization. If you need more assistance with getting Haraka set up or have any questions, be sure to consult the Haraka documentation.
