How to Install MailyGo on Fedora Server Latest

MailyGo is a simple SMTP server that allows you to send emails using your own server. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install MailyGo on Fedora Server latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• A Fedora Server latest installation
• Root access or a user account with sudo privileges
• Basic knowledge of the terminal/command line

Step 1: Update System

We recommend updating the system before proceeding with the installation.

sudo dnf update

Step 2: Install Go

MailyGo is built with Go, so you'll need to install Go on your system if it's not already installed.

sudo dnf install golang

Step 3: Download and Install MailyGo

Clone the MailyGo repository using the following command:

git clone https://codeberg.org/jlelse/MailyGo.git

Once downloaded, navigate into the MailyGo directory:

cd MailyGo

Build MailyGo by running the following command:

go build

Step 4: Configure MailyGo

Create a new file in the MailyGo directory named config.toml:

nano config.toml

Then, insert the following configuration:

[general]
listen-address = "localhost:25"
hostname = "yourserver.com"
relay-domain = "relay-server.com"
log-level = "debug"

[auth]
enabled = false

[database]
dsn = "sqlite:/var/lib/mailygo/database.sqlite3?cache=shared&mode=rwc"

[delivery]
delivery-method = "smtp"
delivery-options = "host=smtp-relay.gmail.com;username=your-username;password=your-password;port=465;ssl=true"

You should modify the hostname and the relay-domain variables with the appropriate values for your setup. Also, make sure to set up the delivery-options parameter by using the correct values for your SMTP server.

Save the file by hitting CTRL+O, CTRL+X to exit.

To start MailyGo, run the following command:

./MailyGo

MailyGo should now be running.

Step 5: Test MailyGo

To test if MailyGo is working properly, you can use a simple command-line tool called swaks to send an email.

sudo dnf install swaks

Try sending a test email:

swaks --to test@gmail.com --from you@yourserver.com --server localhost:25

If the email sends successfully, MailyGo is configured and running as expected.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to install MailyGo on Fedora Server latest. With MailyGo installed, you can use your own server to send emails reliably and with greater control over the process.

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!
