AnonAddy is an open-source email forwarding service that allows users to create unlimited aliases and forward email messages to their actual email address while maintaining privacy. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing AnonAddy on MXLinux Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation of AnonAddy, it is recommended to update the system to ensure that all relevant packages are up-to-date. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
AnonAddy requires certain dependencies to be installed on the system. Run the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo apt install git curl wget unzip -y
Docker is a virtualization platform that is used to run AnonAddy. Follow the below steps to install Docker.
First, we need to add the Docker repository to the system. Enter the following command:
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian buster stable"
Run the following command to update the system and install Docker:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker-ce -y
To start the Docker service and enable it to run on system startup, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable --now docker
Now that we have installed Docker and its dependencies, we can proceed to install AnonAddy. Run the following command:
sudo docker run -d --name anonaddy --restart=always -e APP_ENV=production -e APP_DEBUG=false -e LOG_CHANNEL=stderr -v anonaddy_app_data:/var/www/app/storage/app -p 8080:80 anonaddy/anonaddy:latest
This command will download and run the latest version of AnonAddy in a Docker container, exposed on port 8080.
Once AnonAddy is installed, open your web browser and enter the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/setup
This will prompt you to create an account and configure AnonAddy. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up AnonAddy.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed AnonAddy on MXLinux Latest. You can now create unlimited aliases and forward email messages to your actual email address while maintaining privacy. If you encounter any issues, refer to the official AnonAddy documentation or the MXLinux community forum.
