Installing iRedMail on Manjaro

iRedMail is an open-source mail server solution that provides a full-featured mail server for small-to-medium businesses. In this tutorial, we will see how to install iRedMail on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before we begin with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • A Manjaro system with sudo access
  • A fully-qualified domain name (FQDN)
  • Enough storage space
  • A stable internet connection

Step 1: Update System

It is always recommended to update the system before installing any package. Run the following command to update your system:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Install EPEL Repository

iRedMail depends upon external packages that are not available in the default Manjaro repositories. Therefore, we need to add the EPEL repository.

Run the following command to install the EPEL repository:

sudo pacman -S epel-release

Step 3: Add iRedMail Repository

Now, we need to add the iRedMail repository to our system. Run the following commands:

sudo wget https://dl.iredmail.org/yum/iredmail.repo -P /etc/yum.repos.d/

In case wget is not installed, we can install it using the following command:

sudo pacman -S wget

Step 4: Install iRedMail

Now, we will install the iRedMail package using the following command:

sudo pacman -S iredmail

Step 5: Configure iRedMail

After the installation is complete, we need to configure the iRedMail server by running the following command:

sudo /usr/bin/iredmail-config

Here you need to provide the following information:

  • Hostname of the server
  • Domain name of the mail server
  • Email server name
  • Timezone
  • Password for the admin user

Once you have provided all the required information, wait for the installation process to complete.

Step 6: Access iRedMail

Now, you can access your iRedMail server by visiting http://your_server_ip/mail, where your_server_ip is the IP address of the mail server.

Conclusion

iRedMail is a robust and feature-packed mail server solution that provides a simple and easy-to-use interface. By following the steps mentioned above, you can easily install iRedMail on your Manjaro system.
