public-inbox (server-side) installation --------------------------------------- This is for folks who want to setup their own public-inbox instance. Clients should see https://ssoma.public-inbox.org/INSTALL.html instead if they want to import mail into their personal inboxes. TODO: this still needs to be documented better, also see the scripts/ and sa_config/ directories in the source tree It should also be possible to use public-inbox with only IMAP (or even POP(!)) access to a mailbox. standard MakeMaker installation (Perl) -------------------------------------- perl Makefile.PL make make test make install # root permissions may be needed Requirements ------------ * git * Perl and several modules: (Debian package name) - Date::Parse libtimedate-perl - Email::MIME libemail-mime-perl - Email::MIME::ContentType libemail-mime-contenttype-perl - Encode::MIME::Header perl Optional components: * MTA - postfix is recommended (for public-inbox-mda) * SpamAssassin (spamc/spamd) (for public-inbox-watch/public-inbox-mda) Optional Perl modules: - Plack[1] libplack-perl - URI::Escape[1] liburi-perl - Search::Xapian[2][3] libsearch-xapian-perl - IO::Compress::Gzip[3] perl-modules (or libio-compress-perl) - DBI[3] libdbi-perl - DBD::SQLite[2][3] libdbd-sqlite3-perl - Danga::Socket[4] libdanga-socket-perl - Net::Server[5] libnet-server-perl - Filesys::Notify::Simple[6] libfilesys-notify-simple-perl [1] - Optional, needed for serving/generating Atom and HTML pages [2] - Optional, only required for NNTP server [3] - Optional, needed for gzipped mbox support over HTTP [4] - Optional, needed for bundled HTTP and NNTP servers [5] - Optional, needed for standalone daemonization of HTTP+NNTP servers [6] - Optional, needed for public-inbox-watch Maildir watcher When installing Search::Xapian, make sure the underlying Xapian installation is not affected by an index corruption bug: https://bugs.debian.org/808610 For Debian 8.x (jessie), this means using Debian 8.5 or later. public-inbox will never store unregeneratable data in Xapian or any other search database we might use; Xapian corruption will not destroy critical data.
