An installer which deploy a complete mail server based on Modoboa.
.. warning::
This tool is still in beta stage, it has been tested on:
- Debian Jessie (8) / Stretch (9) / Buster (10)
- Ubuntu Trusty (14.04) and upper
- CentOS 7
.. warning::
/tmp
partition must be mounted without the noexec
option.
.. note::
The server (physical or virtual) running Modoboa needs at least 2GB of RAM in order to compile the required dependencies during the installation process. Passwords should not contain any special characters as they may cause the installation to fail. It's important to set a FQDN before, otherwise the installation will break.
Usage::
$ git clone https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa-installer $ cd modoboa-installer $ sudo python3 run.py
If python3
if not installed on your system, please install it.
A configuration file will be automatically generated the first time
you run the installer, please don't copy the
installer.cfg.template
file manually.
The following components are installed by the installer:
- Database server (PostgreSQL or MySQL)
- Nginx and uWSGI
- Postfix
- Dovecot
- Amavis (with SpamAssassin and ClamAV)
- automx (autoconfiguration service)
- OpenDKIM
- Radicale (CalDAV and CardDAV server)
If you want to customize configuration before running the installer, run the following command::
$ ./run.py --stop-after-configfile-check
An interactive mode is also available::
$ ./run.py --interactive
Make your modifications and run the installer as usual.
By default, the latest Modoboa version is installed but you can select
a previous one using the --version
option::
$ sudo ./run.py --version=X.X.X
.. note::
Version selection is available only for Modoboa >= 1.8.1.
If you want more information about the installation process, add the
--debug
option to your command line.
Upgrade mode
An experimental upgrade mode is available.
.. note::
You must keep the original configuration file, ie the one used for the installation. Otherwise, you won't be able to use this mode.
You can activate it as follows::
$ sudo ./run.py --upgrade
It will automatically install latest versions of modoboa and its plugins.
Change the generated hostname
By default, the installer will setup your email server using the
following hostname: mail.<your domain>
. If you want a different
value, generate the configuration file like this::
$ ./run.py --stop-after-configfile-check
Then edit installer.cfg
and look for the following section::
[general] hostname = mail.%(domain)s
Replace mail
by the value you want to use and save your
modifications.
Finally, run the installer without the
--stop-after-configfile-check
option.
Let's Encrypt certificate
.. warning::
Please note this option requires the hostname you're using to be valid (ie. it can be resolved with a DNS query) and to match the server you're installing Modoboa on.
If you want to generate a valid certificate using Let's Encrypt <https://letsencrypt.org/>
_, edit the installer.cfg
file and
modify the following settings::
[certificate] generate = true type = letsencrypt
[letsencrypt] email = [email protected]
Change the email
setting to a valid value since it will be used
for account recovery.
