How to Install Cypht on Void Linux

Cypht is a lightweight and powerful email system that allows you to view and manage all of your email accounts in one place. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Cypht on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

• Void Linux

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Cypht requires several dependencies to be installed on your system in order to run properly. Use the following command to install them:

sudo xbps-install -Syu nginx php php-fpm php-mysqli php-curl php-openssl php-iconv php-zip php-xmlreader php-xmlwriter php-fileinfo

This command will install Nginx web server, PHP, and all necessary PHP extensions required to run Cypht.

Step 2: Download and Extract Cypht

Download the latest version of Cypht from their official website https://cypht.org/download.html. Once the download is complete, extract the archive to the /var/www/ directory using the following command:

sudo tar -xzvf cypht-X.X.X.tar.gz -C /var/www/

Note: Replace X.X.X with the actual version number.

Step 3: Configure Nginx

Cypht requires Nginx web server to run. Use your favorite text editor to create a new virtual host file for Cypht.

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/cypht.conf

Add the following content to the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain.com;
    root /var/www/cypht/;
 
    index index.php;
 
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }
 
    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
 
    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }
}

Note: Replace your_domain.com with your actual domain name.

Step 4: Configure PHP

Next, we need to configure PHP to run Cypht. Use your favorite text editor to edit the php.ini file:

sudo nano /etc/php.ini

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

upload_max_filesize = 20M
post_max_size = 20M
max_execution_time = 300
memory_limit = 128M

Step 5: Set Permissions

Set the correct permissions for the Cypht directory using the following command:

sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www/cypht/

Step 6: Start Nginx and PHP-FPM services

Finally, start the Nginx and PHP-FPM services:

sudo systemctl enable nginx
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl enable php-fpm
sudo systemctl start php-fpm

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!
