* Added support for backup to a remote server using rsync * updated web interface to get data from user * added way to list files from server It’s not using the “username” field of the yaml configuration file to minimise the amount of patches needed. So the username is actually sorted within the rsync URL. Signed-off-by: Bernard `Guyzmo` Pratz <guyzmo+github@m0g.net> * Added ssh key generation upon installation for root user. Signed-off-by: Bernard `Guyzmo` Pratz <guyzmo+github@m0g.net> * Removed stale blank lines, and fixed typo Signed-off-by: Bernard `Guyzmo` Pratz <guyzmo+github@m0g.net> * fix backup-location lines, by switching it from id to class * Various web UI fixes - fixed user field being shadowed ; - fixed settings reading comparaison ; - fixed forgotten min-age field. Signed-off-by: Bernard `Guyzmo` Pratz <guyzmo+github@m0g.net> * Added SSH Public Key shown on the web interface UI Signed-off-by: Bernard `Guyzmo` Pratz <guyzmo+github@m0g.net> * trailing spaces. Signed-off-by: Bernard `Guyzmo` Pratz <guyzmo+github@m0g.net> * fixed the extraneous environment Signed-off-by: Bernard `Guyzmo` Pratz <guyzmo+github@m0g.net> * Updated key setup - made key lower in bits, but stronger (using -a option), - made ssh-keygen run in background using nohup, - added independent key file, as id_rsa_miab, - added ssh-options to all duplicity calls to use the id_rsa_miab keyfile, - changed path to the public key display Signed-off-by: Bernard `Guyzmo` Pratz <guyzmo+github@m0g.net> * added rsync options for ssh identity support Signed-off-by: Bernard `Guyzmo` Pratz <guyzmo+github@m0g.net> * removed strict host checking for all backup operations Signed-off-by: Bernard `Guyzmo` Pratz <guyzmo+github@m0g.net> * Remove nohup from ssh-keygen so errors aren't hidden. Also only generate a key if none exists yet * Add trailing slash when checking a remote backup. Also check if we actually can read the remote size * Factorisation of the repeated rsync/ssh options cf https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox/pull/678#discussion_r81478919 * Updated message SSH key creation https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox/pull/678#discussion_r81478886 |

Mail-in-a-Box
By @JoshData and contributors.
Mail-in-a-Box helps individuals take back control of their email by defining a one-click, easy-to-deploy SMTP+everything else server: a mail server in a box.
Please see https://mailinabox.email for the project's website and setup guide!
Our goals are to:
- Make deploying a good mail server easy.
- Promote decentralization, innovation, and privacy on the web.
- Have automated, auditable, and idempotent configuration.
- Not make a totally unhackable, NSA-proof server.
- Not make something customizable by power users.
Additionally, this project has a Code of Conduct, which supersedes the goals above. Please review it when joining our community.
The Box
Mail-in-a-Box turns a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit machine into a working mail server by installing and configuring various components.
It is a one-click email appliance. There are no user-configurable setup options. It "just works".
The components installed are:
- SMTP (postfix), IMAP (dovecot), CardDAV/CalDAV (ownCloud), Exchange ActiveSync (z-push)
- Webmail (Roundcube), static website hosting (nginx)
- Spam filtering (spamassassin), greylisting (postgrey)
- DNS (nsd4) with SPF, DKIM (OpenDKIM), DMARC, DNSSEC, DANE TLSA, and SSHFP records automatically set
- Backups (duplicity), firewall (ufw), intrusion protection (fail2ban), system monitoring (munin)
It also includes:
- A control panel and API for adding/removing mail users, aliases, custom DNS records, etc. and detailed system monitoring.
- Our own builds of postgrey (adding better whitelisting) and dovecot-lucene (faster search for mail) distributed via the Mail-in-a-Box PPA on Launchpad.
For more information on how Mail-in-a-Box handles your privacy, see the security details page.
Installation
See the setup guide for detailed, user-friendly instructions.
For experts, start with a completely fresh (really, I mean it) Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit machine. On the machine...
Clone this repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox
$ cd mailinabox
Optional: Download my PGP key and then verify that the sources were signed by me:
$ curl -s https://keybase.io/joshdata/key.asc | gpg --import
gpg: key C10BDD81: public key "Joshua Tauberer <jt@occams.info>" imported
$ git verify-tag v0.20
gpg: Signature made ..... using RSA key ID C10BDD81
gpg: Good signature from "Joshua Tauberer <jt@occams.info>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 5F4C 0E73 13CC D744 693B 2AEA B920 41F4 C10B DD81
You'll get a lot of warnings, but that's OK. Check that the primary key fingerprint matches the fingerprint in the key details at https://keybase.io/joshdata and on my personal homepage. (Of course, if this repository has been compromised you can't trust these instructions.)
Checkout the tag corresponding to the most recent release:
$ git checkout v0.20
Begin the installation.
$ sudo setup/start.sh
For help, DO NOT contact me directly --- I don't do tech support by email or tweet (no exceptions).
Post your question on the discussion forum instead, where me and other Mail-in-a-Box users may be able to help you.
The Acknowledgements
This project was inspired in part by the "NSA-proof your email in 2 hours" blog post by Drew Crawford, Sovereign by Alex Payne, and conversations with @shevski, @konklone, and @GregElin.
Mail-in-a-Box is similar to iRedMail and Modoboa.
The History
- In 2007 I wrote a relatively popular Mozilla Thunderbird extension that added client-side SPF and DKIM checks to mail to warn users about possible phishing: add-on page, source.
- In August 2013 I began Mail-in-a-Box by combining my own mail server configuration with the setup in "NSA-proof your email in 2 hours" and making the setup steps reproducible with bash scripts.
- Mail-in-a-Box was a semifinalist in the 2014 Knight News Challenge, but it was not selected as a winner.
- Mail-in-a-Box hit the front page of Hacker News in April 2014, September 2014, and May 2015.
- FastCompany mentioned Mail-in-a-Box a roundup of privacy projects on June 26, 2015.
