Postorius is a web-based mailman client. It allows users to manage their mailing lists through a web interface. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Postorius on Ubuntu Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

A running Ubuntu Server Latest with root login access
Python 3 installed on your server
Mailman 3 core installed and configured

Step 1: Install Postorius

Postorius is available on PyPI, so we can install it using pip. Run the following command to install Postorius:

sudo pip3 install postorius

Step 2: Configure Postorius

Once Postorius is installed, you need to configure it to work with Mailman. Create a new configuration file for Postorius using the command below:

Copy and paste the following configuration into the file:

[mailman]
# The URL of your Mailman Core installation
rest_api = http://localhost:8001

# The Python interpreter used by Mailman Core
# Needed if the Mailman Core is installed in a virtual environment
#mailman_rest_virtualenv = /path/to/virtualenv

Save and close the file.

Step 3: Create a Superuser Account

Postorius requires a superuser account to be created. Use the following command to create a superuser account:

sudo postorius-admin createsuperuser

You will be prompted to enter your username, email, and password.
