This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing HyperKitty on a Fedora server.
Before we begin, ensure you have the following:
Before installing HyperKitty on Fedora, you'll need to install its dependencies. You can do this by running the following command as the root user:
sudo dnf install python36 python36-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel mariadb mariadb-server gcc
Next, we'll install Mailman and Postfix. You can do so by running the following command as the root user:
sudo dnf install mailman postfix
Once installed, you'll need to configure Postfix to receive and send email. You can follow the guide here.
To install HyperKitty, you first need to clone the repository. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo git clone https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty.git /opt/hyperkitty
Next, you'll need to create a virtual environment and activate it:
sudo python3 -m venv /opt/hyperkitty/env
sudo source /opt/hyperkitty/env/bin/activate
Once you've activated the virtual environment, you can install the required Python packages by running the following command:
sudo pip install -r /opt/hyperkitty/requirements.txt
After installing HyperKitty, you need to configure it by creating a settings_local.py file with the necessary configuration. Run the following command to create the file:
sudo cp /opt/hyperkitty/hyperkitty/settings_local.py.example /opt/hyperkitty/hyperkitty/settings_local.py
Edit the settings_local.py file with your configuration preferences.
Once you've made your configuration changes, apply the migrations by running the following command:
sudo /opt/hyperkitty/env/bin/python /opt/hyperkitty/hyperkitty/manage.py migrate
Finally, you can run HyperKitty by running the following command:
sudo /opt/hyperkitty/env/bin/python /opt/hyperkitty/hyperkitty/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
HyperKitty should now be accessible at http://server-ip-address:8000.
With HyperKitty installed and running, you can now manage your mailing list archives. You can use the web interface to browse and search through archives and manage your mailing lists.
Congratulations, you've successfully installed HyperKitty on Fedora Server Latest!
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!
