Postorius is a web-based user interface for the Mailman 3 email mailing list manager. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Postorius on Kali Linux Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to ensure that Kali Linux is up to date. To do this, enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
This will update your system to the latest version.
We need to install some dependencies for Postorius to work correctly. Run the following commands in your terminal:
sudo apt install -y python3-pip python3-django python3-django-crispy-forms python-django-common
This will install the necessary packages.
Now, let's proceed to install Postorius itself. You can use the Python package manager, pip, to install Postorius with the following command:
sudo pip3 install postorius
Postorius needs to be configured to work with your Mailman 3 server. To do this, we need to modify the Postorius configuration file.
Open the Postorius configuration file in your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /etc/postorius.cfg
In this file, you need to configure the settings for your Mailman 3 server. Modify the following settings with the appropriate values for your server:
# The URL of your Mailman 3 server
MAILMAN_API_URL = 'http://localhost:8001/3.1/'
# The credentials to access your Mailman 3 server
MAILMAN_REST_API_USER = 'restadmin'
MAILMAN_REST_API_PASS = 'password'
Save and close the file.
Now that Postorius is installed and configured, we can run it. Use the following command to start the Postorius web server:
sudo postorius-admin runserver
This will start the server on port 8000 by default. To access Postorius, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000.
You should now see the Postorius login page. Login with the same credentials used for the Mailman 3 command line interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Postorius on Kali Linux Latest. You can now use Postorius to manage your Mailman 3 email mailing lists through a web-based interface.
