How to install AnonAddy on Ubuntu Server Latest
AnonAddy is a simple and open-source email forwarding service that provides you with unlimited anonymous email addresses. Here's how you can install AnonAddy on your Ubuntu server:
Step 1: Update your system
Before installing any software, it's always a good idea to update your system's packages to the latest version. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Step 2: Install required packages
AnonAddy requires the following packages to be installed on your system:
- Docker
- Docker Compose
You can install both of these packages by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install docker docker-compose
Step 3: Download and extract AnonAddy code
You can download the latest version of AnonAddy code by visiting the official GitHub repository page at: https://github.com/anonaddy/anonaddy
Once you have downloaded the code, extract the archive using the following command:
tar -xvf anonaddy-latest.tar.gz
Step 4: Configure AnonAddy
Before running AnonAddy, you need to set up its configuration file. To do that, navigate to the extracted directory and locate the example.env file. Make a copy of this file and name it .env:
cd anonaddy-latest
cp example.env .env
Next, open the newly created .env file using your preferred text editor:
nano .env
Inside the .env file, you'll find various settings that you can configure to your liking.
Step 5: Run AnonAddy
To start AnonAddy, run the following command inside the extracted directory:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This command will create and run all the necessary containers required by AnonAddy to function. The -d flag tells Docker to run the containers in the background.
Step 6: Verify AnonAddy is running
To make sure AnonAddy is running correctly, you can use the docker ps command to list all running containers:
sudo docker ps
This command will list all containers currently running on your system. You should see a container named anonaddy_app listed.
Step 7: Access AnonAddy Web Interface
Once AnonAddy is running, you can access its web interface using a web browser. Open your web browser and navigate to http://your_server_ip_address:8081. You should see the AnonAddy login screen.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed AnonAddy on your Ubuntu server. You can now start using it to create anonymous email addresses.
