MailCare is an email testing tool that allows you to test your emails before sending them to your clients or subscribers. It is a web-based tool that can be used to test your emails in various email clients such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install MailCare on Fedora Server.
Before we start our installation process, we need to install Docker and Docker-compose on our system. We can use the following commands to install both Docker and Docker-compose on Fedora.
sudo dnf -y install docker docker-compose
Once you have successfully installed both Docker and Docker-compose, run the following commands to start the Docker service and enable it to start at system startup.
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
We need to create a Docker Compose file that will be used to run the MailCare container. Create a new file in your preferred text editor and name it docker-compose.yml. Use the following code to create a basic Docker Compose file.
version: "3"
services:
mailcare:
image: mailcare/mailcare:latest
ports:
- 1080:1080
This Compose file defines a single service called mailcare, which uses the mailcare/mailcare:latest image and maps the MailCare container’s port 1080 to the host port 1080.
With the Compose file in place, we can now start the MailCare container using the docker-compose up command.
docker-compose up -d
The -d flag runs the MailCare container in detached mode, allowing you to continue to use the terminal window.
Once the container is up and running, you should be able to access it at http://localhost:1080 in your web browser.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed MailCare on your Fedora Server! You can now use MailCare to test your emails and make sure they display correctly in various email clients.
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!
