This tutorial will guide you through the installation of HyperKitty on Void Linux. HyperKitty is a web interface for accessing GNU Mailman archives. It is designed to make it easier to navigate and search through large mailing list archives.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
In order to install HyperKitty, you will need to install some dependencies first. Open up a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo xbps-install py3-mailman-hyperkitty uwsgi uwsgi-python3
This will install the necessary packages that HyperKitty requires to run.
After installing the dependencies, you need to configure HyperKitty. Edit the /etc/mailman/web/hyperkitty.cfg file and add the following lines:
[database]
url = sqlite:////var/lib/hyperkitty/data/hyperkitty.db
[mail]
host = localhost
port = 25
username = postmaster
password = [mailman-postfix-admin-password]
Replace [mailman-postfix-admin-password] with the actual password of the Postfix administrator.
Once you've configured HyperKitty, you need to initialize it. Run the following command to initialize the database:
sudo -u hyperkitty hyperkitty-init
This will create the necessary database tables.
After initializing the database, you can start the HyperKitty server by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start uwsgi
The server should now be running and accessible at http://localhost:8080/hyperkitty/.
You have successfully installed HyperKitty on Void Linux. You can now access HyperKitty by visiting http://localhost:8080/hyperkitty/ in your web browser.
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!
