Inboxen is a web-based email client that can help you manage your email more efficiently. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Inboxen on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before you begin with the installation process, make sure that your OpenSUSE system is up to date with the latest security patches and releases. You will also need the following dependencies:
To begin, you will need to clone the Inboxen repository from GitHub onto your server. You can do this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Inboxen/Inboxen.git
This will create a directory called Inboxen in your system's current working directory.
Now that you have cloned the Inboxen repository, you should create a virtual environment for the application. This can help you manage dependencies and isolate the application from the rest of your system.
cd Inboxen
virtualenv inboxenenv
source inboxenenv/bin/activate
This will create a new virtual environment called inboxenenv in the Inboxen directory.
Now that you have activated the virtual environment, you can install the dependencies required for Inboxen using the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
This will install all the necessary dependencies for Inboxen.
Next, you need to configure Inboxen to work with your OpenSUSE system. To do this, copy the settings_local.py.example file to settings_local.py using the following command:
cp settings_local.py.example settings_local.py
Now, edit the settings_local.py file to configure Inboxen as per your needs. You should update the following variables:
ALLOWED_HOSTS - update this variable to include the hostname or IP address of your OpenSUSE system.DATABASES section to reflect your chosen database settings. PostgreSQL is recommended.Next, you need to create the database for Inboxen. First, make sure that PostgreSQL is installed and running on your system.
sudo zypper install postgresql postgresql-server
sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
You should create a new PostgreSQL user and database for Inboxen.
sudo su postgres
psql
create user inboxen password 'yourpassword';
create database inboxen owner inboxen;
\q
exit
Next, apply the database migrations by running the following command:
python manage.py migrate
You can now start Inboxen by running the following command:
python manage.py runserver
This will start the Inboxen server on your OpenSUSE system.
Finally, you can configure Nginx to serve Inboxen over HTTP. To do this, create a new Nginx server block by creating a new configuration file in the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory.
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/inboxen.conf
Add the following content to the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com; # Change this to your domain name or IP address
access_log /var/log/nginx/inboxen.access.log;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_connect_timeout 90;
proxy_send_timeout 90;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
}
}
Once you have saved the configuration file, you can reload Nginx using the following command:
sudo systemctl reload nginx
You should now be able to access Inboxen by visiting your OpenSUSE system's IP address or domain name in a web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Inboxen on OpenSUSE Latest.
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!
