In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the process of installing MailHog from Github on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
First, you need to download the MailHog binary from GitHub. You can do this using the wget command:
$ wget https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog/releases/download/v1.0.0/MailHog_linux_amd64
Next, you need to make the downloaded binary file executable:
$ chmod +x MailHog_linux_amd64
Then, you need to move the binary file to the /usr/local/bin directory:
$ sudo mv MailHog_linux_amd64 /usr/local/bin/mailhog
Now that the binary file is installed, you need to create a systemd service file for MailHog. Create a file named mailhog.service in the /etc/systemd/system/ directory:
$ sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/mailhog.service
Paste the following configuration into this file:
[Unit]
Description=MailHog
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/mailhog
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Save and close the file.
Now, you can start the MailHog service by running the following command:
$ sudo systemctl start mailhog
You can check the status of the MailHog service by running:
$ sudo systemctl status mailhog
If everything is working properly, you should see something similar to the following:
● mailhog.service - MailHog
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/mailhog.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Mon 2021-08-02 08:48:46 EDT; 2s ago
Main PID: 977 (mailhog)
Tasks: 6 (limit: 1119)
Memory: 6.0M
CGroup: /system.slice/mailhog.service
└─977 /usr/local/bin/mailhog
Finally, you can enable the MailHog service to start automatically at boot time by running:
$ sudo systemctl enable mailhog
Congratulations! MailHog is now installed and ready to use on your Fedora CoreOS Latest instance.
