Inboxen is an email platform that provides a simple, secure and individual inbox experience. In this tutorial, we will explore how to install Inboxen on Fedora Server Latest.
Begin by updating your system's package repositories using the following command:
sudo dnf update
Now, proceed to install the necessary packages required for Inboxen installation using the following command:
sudo dnf install nodejs npm git postfix
In this step, you are required to clone the Inboxen repository. Proceed by executing the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Inboxen/Inboxen.git
Navigate into the cloned Inboxen directory and install the necessary dependencies using the following command:
cd Inboxen
npm install
For Inboxen to function, it requires a local SMTP server to send and receive emails. In this instance, we will be configuring Postfix. Execute the following command to edit the Postfix configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/postfix/main.cf
Append the following lines at the end of the file and save it:
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP
biff = no
append_dot_mydomain = no
readme_directory = no
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key
smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt
myhostname = yourdomain.com
myorigin = $myhostname
mydestination = localhost.localdomain, localhost
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
Having configured Postfix, you can now proceed to start it using the following command:
sudo systemctl start postfix
Ensure that Postfix starts automatically during system boot up by executing the following command:
sudo systemctl enable postfix
To commence Inboxen, execute the following command:
node app.js
Inboxen should now be accessible via a web browser. Navigate to your domain name, and you should see the Inboxen installation wizard page. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation, and you can now begin using Inboxen.
You have successfully installed and set up Inboxen on your Fedora Server Latest instance. Feel free to experiment further by customizing Inboxen's features, modifying its layout or adding new plugins.
