Cypht is an open-source webmail platform that offers a unified interface to access your emails, contacts, calendars, and more. If you are running the latest version of the POP! OS and want to install Cypht, follow these steps:
Before proceeding with the installation, it is always a good practice to update the system packages to their latest versions. To do this, open the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Enter your password when prompted and wait for the process to complete.
Next, install the dependencies required to run Cypht. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install apache2 php7.2 libapache2-mod-php7.2 php7.2-fpm php7.2-mysql php7.2-mbstring php7.2-curl php7.2-dom php7.2-xml unzip -y
Download the latest version of Cypht using the following command:
wget https://cypht.org/files/cypht-latest.tgz
Once the download is complete, extract the archive using the following command:
tar -xzf cypht-latest.tgz
Rename the extracted directory by running the following command:
mv cypht-* cypht
Move the extracted Cypht directory to the Apache document root by running the following command:
sudo mv cypht /var/www/html
Create a new Apache configuration file for Cypht using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/cypht.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/cypht
ServerName example.com
<Directory /var/www/html/cypht>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/cypht_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/cypht_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace ServerAdmin, ServerName, and example.com with your own details.
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, and then Enter.
Enable the newly created configuration for Cypht by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite cypht.conf
Restart the Apache service to apply the changes by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/cypht/setup.php or replace localhost with your domain name. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure Cypht. Once the setup is complete, you will be redirected to the Cypht login page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Cypht on POP! OS. You can now access your emails, contacts, calendars, and more using the unified interface provided by Cypht.
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!
