Simple NixOS Mailserver is a complete mail server solution that's incredibly easy to set up and manage using the power of NixOS. If you're running FreeBSD Latest and you want to install Simple NixOS Mailserver, this tutorial will show you how to do it step by step.
Before you get started, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first thing you need to do is make sure your system is up to date. To do this, open a terminal and run:
su
freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update install
This will update your system to the latest version.
Next, you need to install Nix. Nix is a package manager that makes it easy to install and manage software on your system. To install Nix, run the following command:
curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
This will download and install Nix on your system.
Once Nix is installed, you need to clone the Simple NixOS Mailserver repository. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://gitlab.com/simple-nixos-mailserver/nixos-mailserver.git
This will clone the repository to your system.
Next, you need to generate the mailserver configuration. To do this, navigate to the nixos-mailserver directory and run the following command:
nix-env -f generate.nix -i mailserver
This will create the configuration for the mailserver.
Now that the configuration has been generated, you can install the mailserver. To do this, run the following command:
nixos-rebuild switch -I nixos-config=./mailserver.nix
This will install the mailserver on your system.
Finally, you can start the mailserver. To do this, run the following command:
systemctl start mailserver
This will start the mailserver on your system.
