Webmail

Installation

The webmail component runs as webservice and provides the api for the minetest server and the website for the webmail component

Bare metal

Prerequisites:

• node and npm (on ubuntu: apt install nodejs npm)

To install and run the webmail server:

• run "npm install" to install the node dependencies
• generate a secret key for yourself, can be anything string-like, i suggest one from https://www.random.org/passwords/?num=5&len=16&format=html&rnd=new
• Edit the "start.sh" file and insert the secret key in place of "myserverkey"
• run "./start.sh"

Docker

sudo docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 -e WEBMAILKEY=myserverkey minetestmail/mail

Mod configuration

To set up your minetest installation to communicate with the webmail server, edit your "minetest.conf":

# enable curl/http on that mod
secure.http_mods = mail

# the url to the webmail server
webmail.url = http://127.0.0.1:8080

# the secret key previously generated (same as in "webmail/start.sh")
webmail.key = myserverkey

# optionally, if you have xban2 and don't want banned users to login:
webmail.disallow_banned_players = true

Roadmap

The current roadmap:

• Enhance ingame UI
• Better ingame notification
• Enhance webmail component
• Allow sending attachments

Bugs
