Start by installing the following Fedora packages:
sudo dnf install -y httpd git lua lua-sec lua-socket python3 luarocks
Install the missing cjson package via luarocks:
sudo luarocks-5.3 install lua-cjson
Install the required Python 3 modules:
sudo pip3.4 install elasticsearch formatflowed chardet netaddr
Install ElasticSearch:
sudo dnf install -y java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless
sudo rpm --import https://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
(The following is taken from the ElasticSearch online guide:)
Add the following in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory in a file with a .repo suffix,
for example elasticsearch.repo:
[elasticsearch-1.7]
name=Elasticsearch repository for 1.7.x packages
baseurl=http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/1.7/centos
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
enabled=1
sudo dnf install -y elasticsearch
Configure and start up ElasticSearch:
sudo /bin/systemctl daemon-reload sudo /bin/systemctl enable elasticsearch.service sudo /etc/init.d/elasticsearch start
Check out a copy of Pony Mail:
cd /var/www sudo git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-ponymail.git
Set up Pony Mail:
cd /var/www/ponymail/tools sudo python3.4 setup.py [... answer questions asked by the setup script ...]
Set up Apache httpd by adding, for example, the following virtual host configuration: This differs from the normal installation (because of CentOS specifics), so beware
<VirtualHost *:80>
LuaPackageCPath /usr/lib/lua/5.3/?.so
LuaPackagePath /usr/share/lua/5.3/?.lua
ServerName mylists.foo.tld
DocumentRoot /var/www/ponymail/site
AddHandler lua-script .lua
LuaScope thread
LuaCodeCache stat
AcceptPathInfo On
</VirtualHost>
(re)start apache:
sudo apachectl restart
IF you have SELinux running, you need to allow httpd (apache) to be able to connect to remotes, otherwise Pony Mail won't work:
sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
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.
