Schleuder is an encrypted mailing list manager that allows you to manage secure email communication. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Schleuder on NixOS Latest.

Step 1: Install Required Packages

First, we need to ensure that we have all the required packages installed on our NixOS system. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo nix-env -iA nixos.openssl nixos.ruby nixos.libzmq4

This command will install OpenSSL, Ruby, and ZMQ4.

Step 2: Install Schleuder

Next, we will install Schleuder. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Schleuder repository using the following command:

git clone https://git.schleuder.org/schleuder/schleuder.git

2. Change the directory to the Schleuder repository using the following command:

cd schleuder

3. Build the Schleuder package using the following command:

nix-build -A package

4. Install Schleuder on your NixOS system using the following command:

sudo nix-env -iA nixos.schleuder

Step 3: Configure Schleuder

After installing Schleuder, we need to configure it. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Create a directory for the Schleuder configuration files using the following command:

sudo mkdir /etc/schleuder

2. Change the directory to the Schleuder configuration files using the following command:

cd /etc/schleuder

3. Create a new configuration file using the following command:

4. Edit the configuration file using your favorite text editor. You can use the following command to edit the file using nano text editor:

sudo nano schleuder.yml

5. Add the following configuration to the file:

verbose: false

domains:
- example.com

- /etc/schleuder/example.org-pub.gpg

address: "schleuder@example.com"

smtp:
  host: "smtp.host.com"
  user: "smtpuser"
  password: "smtppass"

Here, replace "example.com" and "example.org" with your own domain names. Also, replace "smtp.host.com", "smtpuser", and "smtppass" with your own SMTP server details.

Step 4: Start Schleuder

After configuring Schleuder, we need to start it. To do this, run the following command:

sudo systemctl start schleuder

This will start the Schleuder service.

Step 5: Test Schleuder

Finally, we need to test Schleuder to ensure that it is working correctly. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Create a new mailing list using the following command:

sudo schleuder new-list test-list

2. Add a new subscriber to the mailing list using the following command:

sudo schleuder add test-list subscriber@example.com

3. Send an email to the mailing list using the following command:

echo "Test Email" | sudo schleuder post test-list

4. Check the email address that you added to the mailing list. You should receive the test email that you sent.
