Start by installing the following Ubuntu packages:
sudo apt-get install apache2 git liblua5.2-dev lua-cjson lua-sec lua-socket python3 python3-pip subversion
Install the required Python 3 modules:
sudo pip3 install elasticsearch formatflowed netaddr
Install ElasticSearch:
wget -qO - https://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add - echo "deb http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/2.x/debian stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elasticsearch-2.x.list sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install elasticsearch default-jre-headless
Compile and install mod_lua if necessary (httpd < 2.4.17 on Ubuntu):
sudo apt-get install apache2-dev svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/branches/2.4.x/modules/lua/ cd lua/ sudo apxs -I/usr/include/lua5.2 -cia mod_lua.c lua_*.c -lm -llua5.2
Check out a copy of Pony Mail:
sudo git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-ponymail.git /var/www/ponymail
Configure Elasticsearch to automatically start during bootup. For Ubuntu <= 14.10:
sudo update-rc.d elasticsearch defaults 95 10
For Ubuntu >= 15.04:
sudo /bin/systemctl daemon-reload sudo /bin/systemctl enable elasticsearch.service
Start up ElasticSearch:
sudo service elasticsearch start
Set up Pony Mail:
cd /var/www/ponymail/tools sudo python3 setup.py [... answer questions asked by the setup script ...]
Set up Apache httpd by adding, for example, the following virtual host configuration (e.g. in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf):
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mylists.foo.tld
DocumentRoot /var/www/ponymail/site
AddHandler lua-script .lua
LuaScope thread
LuaCodeCache stat
AcceptPathInfo On
</VirtualHost>
Enable mod_lua and start apache, if not already enabled:
sudo a2enmod lua sudo service apache start
Once this is done, you should now have a working copy of Pony Mail!
You may wish to tweak the settings in site/js/config.js and your elasticsearch settings once Pony mail is up and running.
Refer to the General installation documentation for detailed information about archiving messages, OAuth, mail settings and much more.
