This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Mailcow on Fedora CoreOS. Mailcow is a feature-rich, open-source mail server software that can be used for both personal and business use.
Before installing any software packages on Fedora CoreOS, you need to update and upgrade the system to its latest version.
sudo dnf update -y && sudo dnf upgrade -y
Mailcow requires some dependencies to be installed on your system. You can install them using the following command:
sudo dnf install -y git wget docker python3-pip python3-jinja2 python3-virtualenv bzip2
sudo git clone https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized.git /opt/mailcow/
cd /opt/mailcow/
.env file using your favorite text editor:sudo nano .env
sudo ./generate_config.sh
The script will ask you a few questions, such as the MySQL root password, Admin User's email and password, and other settings. Answer them according to your requirements.
After completing the configuration, run the following command:
sudo docker-compose up -d
It will download and install all the necessary components for Mailcow, such as PostgreSQL, Dovecot, and Postfix.
You can access the Mailcow web interface using the following URL:
https://<your-domain-name>/admin
Enter the Admin user's email and password that you configured during the Mailcow installation to log in to the web interface.
Mailcow is now up and running on your Fedora CoreOS server, and you can use it to send and receive emails. You can configure and customize it further according to your requirements.
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!
