ViMbAdmin is a PHP based GUI for managing domains, mailboxes, and aliases for the mail server. It is a newer project than Postfix Admin and offers many benefits including stronger password hashing user login, the latter of which gives users the ability to log in and change their passwords.
Most of the commands in this article require root privilege:
username@servername:~$ sudo /bin/bash
Install prerequisites
A few packages will be required to support ViMbAdmin.
System packages
ViMbAdmin will require a couple additional packages to function properly:
root@servername:~# aptitude install php5-cgi php5-json curl subversion
Note that some of these packages may already be installed.
Composer
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP and is used for installing and updating ViMbAdmin.
root@servername:~# curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php root@servername:~# mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Composer can now be used via the command line with the command composer
Install ViMbAdmin
root@servername:~# export INSTALL_PATH=/srv/vimbadmin root@servername:~# composer create-project opensolutions/vimbadmin $INSTALL_PATH -s dev
Choose no (n) at the end of the installation.
