How to Install Schleuder on Kali Linux

Schleuder is an end-to-end encryption mailing list manager. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Schleuder on Kali Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin the installation, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Add the Schleuder Repository

Schleuder is not included in the Kali Linux repository, so we'll add the Schleuder repository.

  1. Open the terminal on your Kali Linux machine.

  2. Type the following command to add the Schleuder repository:

    echo "deb https://resauce.nadir.org/schleuder-releases/ buster main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/schleuder.list
    
  3. Update the package list by running the following command:

    sudo apt update
    

Step 2: Install Schleuder

With the repository added, we can now install Schleuder.

  1. Type the following command to install Schleuder:

    sudo apt install schleuder
    
  2. During the installation, you will be prompted to enter the hostname for your Schleuder instance. Enter the desired hostname.

    Please enter the instance hostname (e.g. my-schleuder.example.com):
    
  3. After the installation is complete, you can start the Schleuder service by running the following command:

    sudo systemctl start schleuder
    
  4. To ensure that the Schleuder service starts automatically when the machine boots up, run the following command:

    sudo systemctl enable schleuder
    

Step 3: Configure Schleuder

Before we can use Schleuder, we need to configure it.

  1. Open the Schleuder configuration file by typing the following command:

    sudo nano /etc/schleuder/schleuder.conf
    
  2. In the configuration file, modify the following settings:

    • admin_address - this is the email address of the person who will be the administrator for the Schleuder instance.
    • default_list_address - this is the email address that new users can use to subscribe to the Schleuder instance.
  3. Save and close the configuration file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter.

  4. Restart the Schleuder service by running the following command:

    sudo systemctl restart schleuder
