How to Install Piler on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Piler is an open-source email archiving solution that allows you to archive, store, and search emails, files, and documents. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Piler on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following:

  • A server running Fedora CoreOS Latest
  • A sudo user with root privileges

Step 1 - Install Required Packages

Before you start with the installation, you need to install some packages on your system. Run the following command to install the required packages:

sudo dnf install docker git

This command will install Docker and Git on your system.

Step 2 - Clone the Piler Repository

Now, clone the Piler repository using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/mailpiler/piler.git

This will download the Piler source code to your system.

Step 3 - Build the Piler Docker Image

Once the clone is complete, change the directory to the piler repository and run the following command to build the Piler Docker image:

cd piler
sudo docker build -t piler .

This command will create a Docker image for Piler.

Step 4 - Create a Piler Configuration File

Now, create a Piler configuration file that contains your email server details. Run the following command to create a new configuration file:

sudo nano piler.cfg

Replace the following details with your own:

  • server - the name or IP address of your email server
  • port - the SMTP port number of your email server
  • username - the username of your email account
  • password - the password of your email account
  • ssl - whether SSL is enabled or not (1 for enabled and 0 for disabled)

Save the file and exit.

Step 5 - Start the Piler Container

Finally, start the Piler container using the following command:

sudo docker run -d --name piler -p 25:25 -v /var/piler:/var/piler --restart always piler

This command will start the Piler container, which will listen on port 25 and store the archives in the /var/piler directory on the host system. If you want to change the archive directory, replace /var/piler with your own directory path.
