In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Chasquid on NetBSD. Chasquid is a simple and fast SMTP server written in Go that allows you to send emails from your server.
Before you start, you should have the following:
Start by installing the required tools to build and install Chasquid. Run the following command:
sudo pkgin update
sudo pkgin install gmake go
These commands will update the package list and install gmake and go.
Download the latest release of Chasquid by running the following command:
wget https://github.com/blitiri/chasquid/archive/refs/tags/v1.6.2.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded file using the following command:
tar -xf v1.6.2.tar.gz
Change into the extracted directory and build Chasquid using the following command:
cd chasquid-1.6.2/
make
Once the build process is complete, install Chasquid using the following command:
sudo make install
Chasquid's configuration file is located at /usr/local/etc/chasquid/chasquid.conf. You can use your favorite text editor to make changes to the configuration file according to your needs.
sudo vi /usr/local/etc/chasquid/chasquid.conf
After configuring Chasquid, start it using the following command:
sudo chasquid
You can also run Chasquid as a daemon, so it runs in the background:
sudo chasquid --config /usr/local/etc/chasquid/chasquid.conf --daemon
That's it! You now have Chasquid installed and running on NetBSD. You can now start using it to send emails from your 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
