What is this?

How does this work?

48hr.email uses an existing IMAP server for its handling. A single catch-all account and the accompanying credentials handle all the emails.

---

How can I set this up myself?

Prerequisites:

• Mail server with IMAP (Optionally also SMTP for registration and protected features)
• One or multiple domains dedicated to this
• git & nodejs

Option 1 - bare-metal install

Setup:

git clone https://github.com/Crazyco-xyz/48hr.email.git
cd 48hr.email
npm i

Change all settings to the desired values:

• Either use environmental variables, or modify .env (see .env.example)

npm run start

Service file example:

[Unit]
Description=48hr-email
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=exec
User=user
Group=user

WorkingDirectory=/opt/48hr-email
ExecStart=npm run start

Restart=on-failure
TimeoutStartSec=0
RestartSec=5s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Option 2 - Docker

Setup:

git clone https://github.com/Crazyco-xyz/48hr.email.git
cd 48hr.email

Change all settings to the desired values:

• Either use environmental variables, or modify .env, see .env.example

docker compose up -d

If desired, you can also move the config file somewhere else (change volume mount accordingly)
