iRedMail is an open-source mail server solution that provides a full-featured mail server for small-to-medium businesses. In this tutorial, we will see how to install iRedMail on Manjaro.
Before we begin with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
It is always recommended to update the system before installing any package. Run the following command to update your system:
sudo pacman -Syu
iRedMail depends upon external packages that are not available in the default Manjaro repositories. Therefore, we need to add the EPEL repository.
Run the following command to install the EPEL repository:
sudo pacman -S epel-release
Now, we need to add the iRedMail repository to our system. Run the following commands:
sudo wget https://dl.iredmail.org/yum/iredmail.repo -P /etc/yum.repos.d/
In case wget is not installed, we can install it using the following command:
sudo pacman -S wget
Now, we will install the iRedMail package using the following command:
sudo pacman -S iredmail
After the installation is complete, we need to configure the iRedMail server by running the following command:
sudo /usr/bin/iredmail-config
Here you need to provide the following information:
Once you have provided all the required information, wait for the installation process to complete.
Now, you can access your iRedMail server by visiting http://your_server_ip/mail, where your_server_ip is the IP address of the mail server.
iRedMail is a robust and feature-packed mail server solution that provides a simple and easy-to-use interface. By following the steps mentioned above, you can easily install iRedMail on your Manjaro system.
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!
