How to Install Cypht on NetBSD

Cypht is an open-source, multi-account email server and aggregator that allows you to view and manage multiple email accounts in one place. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Cypht on NetBSD.

Requirements

Before you get started, you will need to make sure your system meets the following requirements:

• NetBSD machine with root access
• Access to the internet
• 1 GB RAM
• 5 GB of hard disk space

Installing Dependencies

Before installing Cypht, we need to install some dependencies that are required for Cypht to work:

1. Open the terminal and log in as root.

2. Run the following command to update the system packages:

   pkgin update
   

3. Install the required dependencies using the following command:

   pkgin install sqlite3 php71 php71-sqlite3 php71-gd php71-curl php71-json nginx
   

Installing Cypht

Now that we have installed the required dependencies, we can proceed to install Cypht:

1. Download the latest stable release of Cypht using the following command:

   wget https://github.com/jasonmunro/cypht/archive/v1.2.0.tar.gz
   

2. Extract the downloaded file:

   tar xvf v1.2.0.tar.gz
   

3. Move the extracted files to the web directory:

   mv cypht-1.2.0 /usr/pkg/nginx/htdocs/cypht
   

4. Ensure that the owner and group of the /usr/pkg/nginx/htdocs/cypht directory is set to www:

   chown -R www:www /usr/pkg/nginx/htdocs/cypht
   

5. Create a virtual host configuration file for Cypht:

   echo "server {
           listen       80;
           server_name  localhost;
   
           root   /usr/pkg/nginx/htdocs/cypht;
           index  index.php;
   
           location / {
               try_files \$uri \$uri/ /index.php?\$args;
           }
   
           location ~ \.php$ {
               try_files \$uri =404;
               fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
               fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  \$document_root\$fastcgi_script_name;
               include        fastcgi_params;
           }
   }" > /usr/pkg/nginx/etc/sites-available/cypht
   

6. Enable the virtual host configuration by creating a symlink:

   ln -s /usr/pkg/nginx/etc/sites-available/cypht /usr/pkg/nginx/etc/sites-enabled/cypht
   

7. Restart Nginx:

   /etc/rc.d/nginx restart
   

Configuring Cypht

1. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/ to access Cypht.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure Cypht.

3. Once you have finished the configuration, you can log in to Cypht using your email address and password.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Cypht on NetBSD.

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!
