Piler is an open-source email archiving and storage software. It provides a reliable, low-cost, scalable solution to archive and manage your organization's email data. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Piler on a Fedora Server Latest operating system.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
To ensure that your system has the latest security updates and bug fixes, update the system packages by running the following command:
sudo dnf update
Next, download Piler from the official website https://www.mailpiler.org/wiki/start. You can also use the following command to download the package:
wget https://bitbucket.org/jsuto/piler/downloads/piler-1.3.0-beta.fc29.x86_64.rpm
Once the package is downloaded, install Piler using the dnf package manager with the following command:
sudo dnf install piler-1.3.0-beta.fc29.x86_64.rpm
This command will install all the required packages and dependencies for Piler.
Piler requires a MySQL database to store the archived email data. If you have not already installed MySQL, install it using the following command:
sudo dnf install mysql-server
Once MySQL is installed, create a new database, user, and password for Piler using the following commands:
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE piler;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON piler.* TO 'piler_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
Make sure to replace mypassword with a secure password.
After creating the database, edit the Piler configuration file /etc/piler/piler.conf with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/piler/piler.conf
Update the following values in the configuration file:
dbhost=localhost
dbname=piler
dbuser=piler_user
dbpass=mypassword
Save and close the file.
Finally, start the Piler service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start piler.service
You can check the status of the Piler service with the following command:
sudo systemctl status piler.service
If the status shows "Active (running)", then the Piler service is started successfully.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install and configure Piler on a Fedora Server Latest operating system. Now you can start using Piler to archive and store your email data.
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!
