Schleuder is a group-based email encryption app that provides easy communication privacy for organizations, activists, journalists and individual users.
This tutorial will guide you through the step-by-step installation process of Schleuder on Manjaro.
To successfully install Schleuder, you need to have a few things set up beforehand:
The first step is to make sure that the required dependencies are installed on your system. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S gnupg ruby ruby-bundler ruby-pg
This command will install the required dependencies for Schleuder to work properly.
Next, you need to download and install the latest version of Schleuder. To do this, run the following command:
sudo gem install schleuder
In order to encrypt and decrypt emails with Schleuder, you need to generate a GPG key pair. You can do this by running the following command:
gpg --full-generate-key
Follow the on-screen instructions to generate your GPG key pair. Make sure to keep your private key secure, as it is used to decrypt your encrypted emails.
Now that you have Schleuder installed and your GPG key pair generated, you need to configure Schleuder.
First, create a new Schleuder configuration file by running the following command:
sudo schleuder create mylist
This will create a new configuration file named mylist.yml in the Schleuder configuration directory (/etc/schleuder/).
Edit the configuration file with your preferred text editor. You can customize different settings for your mailing list, such as the name of the list, the email addresses of the recipients, and the GPG keys used for encryption and decryption.
For example, here's a simple set of configurations for a mailing list:
# mylist.yml
list_name: mylist
administrator_address: admin@example.com
archive_to_feed: yes
post_confirmation: yes
pgp:
default_key: my-email@example.com
keys:
- id: 0xdeadbeef
address: my-email@example.com
Finally, start the Schleuder daemon by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start schleuder
This will start the Schleuder daemon in the background, allowing you to send and receive encrypted emails through your mailing list.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured Schleuder on your Manjaro system! You can now start using Schleuder to communicate securely with your mailing list subscribers. Make sure to keep your GPG keys secure and backed up.
If you encounter any issues during the installation process or need further assistance, please refer to the Schleuder documentation on their official website or community support forums.
