iRedMail is an open-source mail server solution that can be used for managing a mail server. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to install iRedMail on an Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before installing iRedMail, make sure that you have:
Run the following command to update your Ubuntu Server.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
You need to set the hostname of your Ubuntu Server. You can set your own hostname, but we are using "mail.example.com" in this tutorial.
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname mail.example.com
Then, add the hostname and the IP address to the /etc/hosts file.
sudo nano /etc/hosts
Add the following line to the file:
<IP-address> mail.example.com mail
Save the file and exit.
iRedMail provides an installation script for Ubuntu Server, which makes the installation process easier. Download the iRedMail installation script with the following command:
wget https://github.com/iredmail/iRedMail/archive/1.4.2.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded file.
tar -zxvf 1.4.2.tar.gz
Change your directory to the extracted directory:
cd iRedMail-1.4.2
Make the iRedMail.sh file executable with the following command.
chmod +x iRedMail.sh
Then, run the iRedMail.sh installation script with the following command.
sudo bash iRedMail.sh
The script will start installing iRedMail on your Ubuntu Server with some prompts. Follow the prompts to configure your mail server.
After the installation process is complete, you can access the iRedMail admin panel by going to the following URL:
https://mail.example.com/iredadmin
Once you have successfully installed iRedMail, you need to configure your mail server. To do this, you need to configure DNS records for your server. You also need to configure the email users and domains.
By following this tutorial, you have successfully installed and configured iRedMail on your Ubuntu Server. You can now use your mail server to send and receive emails.
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!
