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.
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.
Next, we will install Schleuder. To do this, follow these steps:
git clone https://git.schleuder.org/schleuder/schleuder.git
cd schleuder
nix-build -A package
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.schleuder
After installing Schleuder, we need to configure it. To do this, follow these steps:
sudo mkdir /etc/schleuder
cd /etc/schleuder
sudo touch schleuder.yml
sudo nano schleuder.yml
verbose: false
domains:
- example.com
- example.org
keys:
- /etc/schleuder/example.com-pub.gpg
- /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.
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.
Finally, we need to test Schleuder to ensure that it is working correctly. To do this, follow these steps:
sudo schleuder new-list test-list
sudo schleuder add test-list subscriber@example.com
echo "Test Email" | sudo schleuder post test-list
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Schleuder on your NixOS system.
