MailyGo is an open-source mail server written in Go that allows you to easily send and receive email. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install MailyGo on FreeBSD Latest, one of the most popular Unix-like operating systems.
Before installing any software, it is important to update your system to the latest version. Run the following command to update the system:
sudo freebsd-update fetch install
MailyGo is written in Go, therefore you need to install Go on your system if you haven't done so already. Run the following command to install Go:
sudo pkg install go
MailyGo is hosted on Git, and therefore it is necessary to install Git on your system to clone MailyGo's repository. Run the following command to install Git:
sudo pkg install git
Use Git to clone MailyGo's repository:
git clone https://codeberg.org/jlelse/MailyGo.git
The code will be cloned into the MailyGo directory. Navigate to the MailyGo directory by typing:
cd MailyGo
Build MailyGo by running the following command:
go build
To start the MailyGo server, run the following command:
./MailyGo
Now MailyGo is running and you can access it via http://localhost:2525 from your web browser.
You should also configure your email client or web application to use MailyGo as your SMTP server.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install MailyGo on FreeBSD Latest by cloning the repository, building the program, and running it. You can now use MailyGo as your email server to send and receive emails.
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!
