Modoboa is a fast-growing open source mail hosting and management platform. It provides a web-based administration interface that allows system administrators to manage mailboxes, aliases, domains, and other email-related services.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Modoboa on Fedora Server in just a few steps.
Before we start, we need to ensure that our system meets the following requirements:
It is always a good idea to update your system to the latest version before installing any new software. To do that, run:
sudo dnf update
Enter your password when prompted, and confirm the update process by typing y when asked.
Modoboa requires several packages to be installed on the system before it can run correctly. These packages are available in the official Fedora repository, so we can install them using the DNF package manager.
Run the following command to install the required packages:
sudo dnf install -y epel-release python3-pip python3-modoboa python3-modoboa-admin
This command will install the necessary packages as well as any dependencies required.
After installing all the necessary packages, it’s time to make sure that everything is working correctly.
Run the following command to start the Modoboa service:
sudo systemctl start modoboa
If there are no errors, we can proceed to the next step.
To check if the Modoboa service is running, enter:
sudo systemctl status modoboa
If the service is not running, start it with the following command:
sudo systemctl start modoboa
To access the Modoboa web interface, open your web browser and type the server’s IP address or domain name followed by /admin. For example: http://server_ip_or_domain_name/admin
You will be prompted to enter your superuser username and password, which you created during the installation process.
Once you have entered your credentials, click on the LOGIN button, and you will be taken to the Modoboa admin dashboard.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Modoboa on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now start managing your email services through the Modoboa web interface. We hope this tutorial was helpful!
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!
