MailForm is a simple and easy-to-use PHP script for creating web-based contact forms. It can be easily installed on the Void Linux operating system by following the steps below.
Before you begin the installation process, you need to make sure that you have the following installed on your Void Linux system:
The first step is to clone the MailForm repository from GitHub. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Feuerhamster/mailform.git
This will create a directory called mailform in your current working directory.
Next, you need to copy the contents of the mailform directory to the document root of your Apache web server. The document root directory in Void Linux is /srv/http/. Run the following command to copy the files:
sudo cp -r mailform/* /srv/http/
Before you can start using MailForm, you need to configure it according to your requirements. The configuration file for MailForm is config.inc.php. You can edit this file using your favorite text editor. For example:
sudo nano /srv/http/config.inc.php
In this file, you can set the email address where you want to receive the contact form submissions and also specify the email subject and message. You can also configure other settings such as the form fields and validation rules.
Finally, you can test MailForm by accessing it in your web browser. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/mailform/. You should see the contact form that you configured in the previous step.
Fill in the form and click the "submit" button. If everything is working correctly, you should receive an email at the email address that you specified in the configuration file.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured MailForm on your Void Linux system.
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!
