iRedMail is a free, open-source email server solution used to manage emails, calendars, and address books. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing iRedMail on Void Linux.
Before installing iRedMail, update your system to ensure all packages are up to date.

Download the iRedMail package from the official website.
wget https://github.com/iredmail/iRedMail/releases/download/1.4.2/iRedMail-1.4.2.tar.bz2
Verify the authenticity of the package by downloading the signed SHA256 checksums from the official site and running the following command:

Congratulations, you have successfully installed iRedMail on Void Linux.
You can now access the iRedMail admin panel by visiting https://<your-ip-address>/iredadmin.
We recommend that you secure your email server by using encryption, setting strong passwords, and implementing security best practices.
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!
