Note

The server (physical or virtual) running Modoboa needs at least 1GB of RAM in order to compile the required dependencies during the installation process.

Usage:

$ git clone https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa-installer
$ cd modoboa-installer
$ sudo ./run.py <mail server hostname>

To customize the installation, look at the installer.cfg file.

By default, the following components are installed:

• Database server (PostgreSQL or MySQL)
• Nginx and uWSGI
• Postfix
• Dovecot
• Amavis (with SpamAssassin and ClamAV)

If you want more information about the installation process, add the --debug option to your command line.

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, edit the installer.cfg file and modify the following settings:

[certificate]
generate = true
type = letsencrypt

[letsencrypt]
email = admin@example.com

Change the email setting to a valid value since it will be used for account recovery.
