How to Install MailyGo on NetBSD

MailyGo is a simple and easy-to-use email sending application written in Golang that can be installed on NetBSD systems. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing MailyGo on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

• A NetBSD system
• Root access or sudo user privileges

Installation

1. First, make sure that your NetBSD system is up to date by running the following command:

   sudo pkgin update
   

2. Next, install the Go programming language by running the command:

   sudo pkgin install go
   

3. Clone the MailyGo repository by running the command:

   git clone https://codeberg.org/jlelse/MailyGo.git
   

4. Navigate to the MailyGo directory by running the command:

   cd MailyGo
   

5. Build MailyGo by running the command:

   go build
   

6. Once the build process is complete, MailyGo will be available in the current directory. You can test MailyGo by running the command:

   ./MailyGo
   

   This will start the MailyGo server on port 8080.

7. To run MailyGo in the background, you can use the nohup command:

   nohup ./MailyGo &
   

   This will start MailyGo in the background and allow you to close the terminal window without stopping the application.

Configuration

1. To configure MailyGo, create a config.json file in the MailyGo directory by running the following command:

   touch config.json
   

2. Open the config.json file in a text editor and add the following configuration:

   {
     "SMTPUsername": "your_smtp_email_username",
     "SMTPPassword": "your_smtp_email_password",
     "SMTPHost": "your_smtp_email_host",
     "SMTPPort": your_smtp_port_number
   }
   

   Replace your_smtp_email_username, your_smtp_email_password, your_smtp_email_host, and your_smtp_port_number with your own SMTP email configuration details.

3. Save the config.json file and restart MailyGo for the changes to take effect.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured MailyGo on NetBSD. You can now start sending emails using MailyGo.

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!
