Modoboa is a mail hosting and management platform designed for Linux systems. In this tutorial, we will summarize the steps involved in installing Modoboa on OpenSUSE latest via the command line.
Before we proceed, ensure the following requirements are met:
Before installing Modoboa, it is best to ensure that your system is updated. Run the command below to update your system:
sudo zypper update
Modoboa requires several packages that we have to install before installation. Use the following command to install the packages:
sudo zypper install python-pip python-setuptools python-wheel python-devel python3 python3-dev python3-setuptools python3-pip python3-wheel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libffi-devel libsasl2-devel python3-dns python3-ldap python3-mysqlclient
With the dependencies installed, we can now install Modoboa. Firstly clone the Modoboa Git repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa-installer.git
cd modoboa-installer
Then run the Modoboa installer script with the command:
sudo ./run.py
During installation, the script will ask you to provide the installation location, the database name, and administrator credentials. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
After the installation of Modoboa, you can access the mail server by navigating to:
https://<Your-server-IP-or-domain-name>
You can log in using the administrator credentials created during installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Modoboa on your OpenSUSE latest system using the command line.
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!
