How to Install Emailwiz on Linux Mint

Emailwiz is an open-source, simple tool created by Luke Smith, which makes it easy to set up an email server on Linux. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation steps required to get Emailwiz up and running on your Linux Mint machine.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, you need to ensure that your machine has the following:

• A working Linux Mint machine
• A domain name that you want to use as your email server
• Administrative access to the server
• A stable Internet connection

Step 1: Install & Upgrade Your System Packages

We begin this process by updating our system packages to ensure we are using the latest versions of the required packages. To do so, run the below commands:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2: Install Git

Emailwiz requires Git to be installed for the installation purposes. If you already have Git installed on your machine, skip this step. Otherwise, run the below command to install Git:

sudo apt-get install git-all

Step 3: Clone the Emailwiz Repository

After installing Git, run the below command to clone the Emailwiz repository:

git clone https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/emailwiz

Step 4: Run the Emailwiz Setup Script

Navigate to the emailwiz directory by running the command:

cd emailwiz/

The next step is to run the Emailwiz setup script:

sudo bash emailwiz.sh

During the installation process, you will be prompted to enter several details as seen in the screenshot below:

The available options include:

• Your primary domain name
• Your email address
• The number of domains you want to host
• The email server software to use
• Whether you want DKIM and SPF records set up
• Whether you want to use SSL encryption

Once you have entered your desired options, press enter, and the setup process will start. It may take a few minutes to complete.

Step 5: Access the Email Server Web Interface

The installation process should complete successfully, and you should now have an email server running on your Linux Mint machine. You can access the server web interface by visiting the URL: http://YOURDOMAIN/roundcube/

Log in with the email address and password you specified during the setup process.

Conclusion

With this guide, you have successfully installed Emailwiz on your Linux Mint machine, set up your email configuration, and launched your email server. With your email server up and running, you can start sending and receiving 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!
