mailiverse

This documents talks about installing mailiverse from an origin to a target.

------- Requirements on the origin build machine ---------

To install from and build mailiverse from the origin, the origin must have "git", "ant", "rsync" and "oracle java" installed. (Other javas might work, but I have not tested them.) Also, your hosts file must point to mail.target and target.

I have always used Ubuntu 12.04 or 13 as my target machine. The build works on Ubuntu 12.04 and also OSX (with dev tools).

To install git: sudo apt-get install git --yes

To install zip: sudo apt-get install unzip --yes

To install ant: sudo apt-get install ant --yes

Clone the mailiverse: git clone https://github.com/timprepscius/mailiverse.git

To install java: cd mailiverse/install sudo ./setup-java.remote

To make the hosts file point to the correct place: sudo nano /etc/hosts add the lines: SOME-IP-ADDRESS mail.whateverthenameofyourdomainis SOME-IP-ADDRESS whateverthenameofyourdomainis

This could also be done on a DNS server, if you control one..

After these steps have been taken you are ready to set up.

--------- Setting up -------------

First run: ./setup-1-dependencies

This will build enough stuff to generate keys for things. It will will generate default keys, default passwords, etc. You will at some point need to type in "password" a bunch of times, to export a particular key so it can be used with nginx.

Then run: ./setup-2-install

This will install the mailiverse system onto the target. This means it will create user directories, install software, etc.

Then run: ./setup-3-compile

This will compile all the sources, jar them up, war them up, etc.

Then run: ./setup-4-deploy

This will deploy mailiverse onto the target machine.


Congratulations, if you have finished these, you should be able to put:

https://mail.targetmachine/

And it should work.
