Mail in a Box
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
One-click deployment of your own mail server and personal cloud (so to speak).
|
|
|
|
This draws heavily on Sovereign by Alex Payne (https://github.com/al3x/sovereign) and the "NSA-proof your email in 2 hours" blog post by Drew Crawford (http://sealedabstract.com/code/nsa-proof-your-e-mail-in-2-hours/).

Deploying to EC2 from the command line
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Sign up for Amazon Web Services.
|
|
|
|
Create an Access Key at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?#security_credential. Download the key and save the information somewhere secure.
|
|
|
|
Set up your environment and paste in the two parts of your access key that you just downloaded:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install ec2-api-tools
|
|
|
|
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=your_access_key_id
|
|
export AWS_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key
|
|
export EC2_URL=ec2.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
|
|
export AWS_AZ=us-east-1a
|
|
|
|
The first time around, create a new volume (disk drive) to store your stuff.
|
|
|
|
source ec2/new_volume.sh
|
|
|
|
If you want to reuse an existing volume:
|
|
|
|
export VOLUME_ID=...your existing volume id...
|
|
|
|
Here we're using the Ubuntu 13.04 amd64 instance-store-backed AMI in the us-east region. You can select another at http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/.
|
|
|
|
Generate a new "keypair" (if you don't have one) that will let you SSH into your machine after you start it:
|
|
|
|
ec2addkey mykey > mykey.pem
|
|
chmod go-rw mykey.pem
|
|
|
|
Then launch a new instance. We're creating a m1.small instance --- it's the smallest instance that can use an instance-store-backed AMI. So charges will start to apply.
|
|
|
|
source ec2/start_instance.sh
|
|
|
|
It will wait until the instance is available.
|
|
|
|
Configure the server:
|
|
|
|
ssh -i mykey.pem ubuntu@$INSTANCE_IP
|
|
|
|
Somehow download these files.
|
|
|
|
sh scripts/index.sh
|
|
...
|
|
logout
|
|
|
|
Terminate your instance with:
|
|
|
|
ec2-terminate-instances $INSTANCE
|
|
|
