How to Install Stalwart JMAP on Fedora Server Latest

Stalwart JMAP is an open source and growing email protocol that aims to replace the traditional IMAP protocol. In this tutorial, we will discuss how to install Stalwart JMAP on Fedora Server latest.

Prerequisites

Before installing Stalwart JMAP, you must meet the following prerequisites:

• A machine running Fedora Server Latest
• Non-Root user with sudo privileges
• Java 8 or later
• PostgreSQL

Install Java

Java is a prerequisite for Stalwart JMAP. So we need to install Java first. Follow the below steps to install Java on Fedora Server:

1. Open the Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T).

2. Install Java by executing the following command:

   sudo dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk
   

3. Verify the Java installation by executing the following command:

   java -version
   

   It should show you the Java version installed.

Install PostgreSQL

Stalwart JMAP requires a database to store its data. PostgreSQL is the recommended database. You can follow the below steps to install PostgreSQL on Fedora Server:

1. Open the Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T).

2. Install PostgreSQL by executing the following command:

   sudo dnf install postgresql-server postgresql-contrib
   

3. Initialize and start the database service by executing the following commands:

   sudo postgresql-setup --initdb --unit postgresql
   sudo systemctl start postgresql.service
   sudo systemctl enable postgresql.service
   

4. Connect to the PostgreSQL server as the postgres user:

   sudo -i -u postgres psql
   

5. In the PostgreSQL shell, set the password for the postgres user:

   \password postgres
   

   Enter a strong password and remember it for future use.

6. Create a new database and user for Stalwart JMAP:

   create database jmap;
   create user jmap with encrypted password 'password';
   grant all privileges on database jmap to jmap;
   

   Replace password with a strong password for the jmap user.

7. Quit the PostgreSQL shell by executing the following command:

   \q
   

Install Stalwart JMAP

Now that we have installed Java and PostgreSQL, we can proceed with installing Stalwart JMAP. Follow the below steps to install Stalwart JMAP on Fedora Server:
