Stalwart JMAP is a high-performance email server that provides a fast and efficient way to manage email, contacts, calendars, and more. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Stalwart JMAP on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before we begin, make sure that you have:
Open a terminal and update your Ubuntu system by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
We will be using Nginx as the web server for Stalwart JMAP. Run the following command to install Nginx:
sudo apt install nginx
We will also install Certbot to manage SSL certificates. Run the following command to install Certbot:
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
Before we install Stalwart JMAP, we need to ensure that we have a domain name that points to our server's IP address. You can either purchase a domain name or use a free domain name provider such as Freenom. We recommend setting up a subdomain for Stalwart JMAP, such as mail.example.com.
Once you have a domain name, create an A record that points to your server's IP address in your DNS provider's control panel.
Open a terminal and run the following commands to install Stalwart JMAP:
wget https://stalw.art/download/jmap/latest.tar.gz
tar -xzf latest.tar.gz
cd jmap
sudo ./install.sh
During the installation, you will be prompted to enter your domain name. Enter the name of the subdomain you set up in Step 3.
Next, we need to configure Nginx to proxy requests to Stalwart JMAP. Open the default Nginx configuration file in a text editor:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Delete the existing contents of the file and add the following configuration:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name mail.example.com; # Replace with your subdomain name
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
root /var/www/html;
}
}
Save and close the file.
Next, test the Nginx configuration by running the following command:
sudo nginx -t
If the configuration file syntax is correct, restart Nginx by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Now that Nginx is configured to proxy requests to Stalwart JMAP, we need to configure SSL using Certbot.
Run the following command to generate SSL certificates for your domain:
sudo certbot --nginx -d mail.example.com # Replace with your domain name
Follow the prompts to generate the SSL certificates.
Finally, start Stalwart JMAP using the following command:
sudo systemctl start jmap
You can now access Stalwart JMAP by visiting https://mail.example.com in your web browser.
