Mailtrain is an open-source email marketing tool that allows you to send newsletters to your subscribers. It is an easy-to-use software that provides various features to create, manage, and send newsletters. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Mailtrain on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following requirements:
Before installing any applications or software, it's important to ensure your system is up-to-date. To update your Fedora CoreOS system, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo rpm-ostree update
This command will download and install the latest updates on your system.
Mailtrain is a web-based application that runs on a server. To run Mailtrain, we need to install Docker on our system. To install Docker, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable docker.service
sudo systemctl start docker.service
This command will install and start the Docker service.
After installing Docker, we can now install Mailtrain. We will use Docker Compose to install Mailtrain, which is a tool that allows us to run multi-container Docker applications. To install Docker Compose, run the following command:
sudo dnf -y install docker-compose
Once installed, navigate to the home directory with the following command:
cd ~/
Next, create a new directory called mailtrain with the following command:
mkdir mailtrain
Navigate to the mailtrain directory with the following command:
cd mailtrain
Next, create a new file called docker-compose.yml with the following command:
nano docker-compose.yml
Copy and paste the following content into the docker-compose.yml file:
version: '3'
services:
web:
image: mailtrain/mailtrain
container_name: mailtrain
restart: always
ports:
- "80:3000"
environment:
- NODE_ENV=production
- [DATABASE_URL=mongodb://db/mailtrain]
- [REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379/0]

- [MAILTRAIN_HOST=http://localhost]
- [MAILTRAIN_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin]
- [MAILTRAIN_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password]
- [MAILTRAIN_BRAND_NAME=Mailtrain]
- [ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes]
depends_on:
- redis

ports:
- "5672:5672"
- "15672:15672"
environment:
- RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=guest
- RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=guest
Save and close the file by pressing CTRL + X, then Y, and finally ENTER.
Next, run the following command to start the Mailtrain service:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This command will download and install all the necessary dependencies and start the Mailtrain service.
To test the Mailtrain installation, navigate to your browser and enter your server's IP address, followed by :80. For example, if your server's IP address is 192.168.1.100, enter http://192.168.1.100:80 in your browser. You should now see the Mailtrain login page.
Enter the username and password you provided in the docker-compose.yml file and log in to the Mailtrain interface.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Mailtrain on your Fedora CoreOS system!
