Cypht is a lightweight web-based email client that allows you to access your email accounts from one central location. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Cypht on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure that your FreeBSD system is up-to-date and has the following packages installed:
To install the required packages, run the following command:
sudo pkg install apache24 php74 php74-mysql git
This command will install Apache web server, PHP with MySQL support, and Git on your system.
Now that we have our dependencies installed, let's proceed with installing Cypht. First, let's clone the Cypht repository from Github using Git. Run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/jasonmunro/cypht.git
This command will clone the Cypht repository into your current working directory.
Next, move the cloned repository into your Apache web server's root directory:
sudo mv cypht /usr/local/www/apache24/data/
This command will move the repository to the Apache web server's root directory.
Before we can use Cypht, we need to create a new database and user for it in MySQL. Run the following command to log in to your MySQL server:
mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL server's root password when prompted.
Next, create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE cypht;
This will create a new database named 'cypht'.
Next, create a new user and grant it all privileges on the 'cypht' database:
CREATE USER 'cypht'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON cypht.* TO 'cypht'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
This will create a new user named 'cypht', with a password of 'your_password', and grant it all privileges on the 'cypht' database.
Now that we have our database and user set up, we can proceed with setting up Cypht. Open your web browser and navigate to your server's domain or IP address. You should see the Cypht login page.
Click on the 'Options' link, and then click on the 'Database' tab. Enter your MySQL server's settings, including the database name, username, and password that you created earlier.
Click on the 'Save' button, and then click on the 'System' tab. Enter a name for your Cypht installation and select your time zone.
Click on the 'Save' button.
Finally, click on the 'Add account' button to add your email account.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured Cypht on FreeBSD Latest!
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!
