📧 Ubuntu Server Configuration Script

This script simplifies the setup of a secure server with email configuration using an Ubuntu system. It's inspired by Derek Sivers' script and relies on a refactored version of a script he wrote for OpenBSD operating systems. Let's get your server up and running independently!

🚀 Quick Start

  1. Run as Root: 
    sudo ./ubuntu_email_config.sh

Follow the Prompts:

  1. Enter the required information as prompted.

Sit Back and Relax:

  • The script will handle the initial setup, download essential configuration files, and guide you through the setup.

Reboot:

  • Once done, reboot your system to apply the changes.

🧰 Prerequisites

  • Ubuntu system
  • Root access (sudo privileges)

📥 Configuration Files

The script will download the following configuration files:

  1. httpd.conf: HTTP server configuration
  2. relayd.conf: Relay daemon configuration
  3. acme-client.conf: ACME client configuration for Let's Encrypt
  4. .muttrc: Mutt email client configuration
  5. .mailcap: Mailcap configuration for MIME types
  6. dovecot.conf: Dovecot IMAP and POP3 server configuration

Note: If pf.conf is found, it will be moved to /etc/pf.conf, which may not be relevant for Ubuntu.

🌐 Domain Setup

  1. Domain Name:

    • Enter your domain name when prompted.

  2. Username:

    • Provide a lowercase username with no spaces.

  3. Verify Email and Login:

    • Confirm that the displayed email and login details are correct.

🔧 Additional Configurations

  • The script also configures:
    • ufw firewall to allow SSH, HTTP, and HTTPS traffic.

🎉 Completion

Congratulations! 🎊 Your email setup is now complete. Reboot your system, and you're good to go!
