SimpleLogin is a self-hosted email forwarding and SMTP server to protect your privacy and prevent spam. Here's a step-by-step guide to installing SimpleLogin on macOS:
Open a Terminal window by pressing command + space and searching for "Terminal" in the Spotlight.
Run the following command to download the SimpleLogin installation script:
curl -o simplelogin.sh https://install.simplelogin.io/1.0.0/simplelogin.sh
Once the script has been downloaded, we'll make it executable by running:
chmod +x simplelogin.sh
Now it's time to run the installation script. Enter the following command to start:
sudo ./simplelogin.sh
You will need to enter your password, and then the installation should begin.
The script will prompt you for the domain name you want to use for your SimpleLogin server. Enter your domain name (e.g., example.com).
The script will then generate a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for your domain using the Certbot ACME client.
After the SSL certificate has been generated, the SimpleLogin Docker containers will be downloaded and initialized.
Once the installation process is complete, you can visit your SimpleLogin login page by opening a web browser and entering the URL https://your-domain.com/. Replace your-domain.com with the actual domain name you entered in step 5.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed SimpleLogin on your macOS device. You can now start using SimpleLogin to create email aliases, forward emails, and protect your privacy online.
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!
