Wildduck is a mail server that provides a simple and secure way to send and receive emails. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Wildduck on the latest version of OpenSUSE.
Before we begin, you need to ensure that you have a fully updated OpenSUSE system with root privileges.
To install Wildduck on OpenSUSE, we need to install some dependencies. Run the following command to install them on your system:
sudo zypper install gcc git make python3-pip nodejs12
After installing the required dependencies, we will clone the Wildduck repository using the Git command:
git clone https://github.com/foxcpp/wildduck.git
Now, we will install the required NPM packages by running the following command:
cd wildduck/client && npm install && cd ../server && npm install && cd ..
Next, we will configure Wildduck by creating a configuration file named config.js in the root folder and modifying it according to our requirements. For example, to configure it for the Gmail SMTP server, use the following command:
cp config.sample.js config.js
vi config.js
In the editor, update the following parameters:
smtp: {
host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
secure: true,
auth: {
user: 'your.email@gmail.com',
pass: 'your-password'
}
},
After updating the configuration, save and close the file.
Finally, we can start the Wildduck server using the following command:
npm run server
Now, you can access the web interface of Wildduck using your web browser by visiting http://localhost:3000. You can use your SMTP credentials to login to your account.
