Magma OK for end users?

[jamesbond0007]

Sorry for any newbie type questions. I am not a dev. I have run my own email server since around 2013 (no coincidence) using a VPS running postfix, dovecot, etc. It has worked pretty well over the years but I have been looking for an option that would keep my mail encrypted until my email client logs in. Magma looks like it could be a replacement. Is the code OK for simple users like me yet? I was able to get it built on a centos 7 VPS just more or less as a test. I see its sand boxed with nonstandard ports. Is it meant for testing only? Or did I miss a port forwarding step?
Is there a guide for a simple joe with basic linux knowledge yet?
Thanks!

This is still under heavy development. But I'm creating a full detailed guide for Centos 7 and Centos 6.
I know that is probably too late for your use.

I run a fully functional instance on https://klostech.group

works

love it

Nice am currently trying to update it to centos 7 but the dkim module is not compatible yet. @klosnet Are you running it on cent os 6 or 7?

I don't have a coherent list of C6 or C7 package requirements, but you can look at the scripts in the appropriate robox directory, as a starting point. That being said, can you run:

build.lib.sh dkim-log

And post the error? I suspect your missing the libbsd and libbsd-devel packages. As I recall one of the dependencies needs those to build.

[ladar]

@BytePointer0x2a you can start with these lists. For CentOS 6:

# We'll need to install the libbsd packages from the EPEL repository, which DSPAM relies upon for the strl functions.
yum --assumeyes --enablerepo=extras install epel-release

yum --assumeyes --enablerepo=epel install valgrind valgrind-devel texinfo autoconf automake libtool ncurses-devel gcc-c++ libstdc++-devel gcc cloog-ppl cpp glibc-devel glibc-headers kernel-headers libgomp mpfr ppl perl perl-Module-Pluggable perl-Pod-Escapes perl-Pod-Simple perl-libs perl-version patch sysstat perl-Time-HiRes cmake libarchive libbsd libbsd-devel

# Packages used to retrieve the magma code, but aren't required for building/running the daemon.
yum --quiet --assumeyes install wget git rsync perl-Git perl-Error

# These packages are required for the various support scripts (like stacie.py).
yum --quiet --assumeyes --enablerepo=epel install python-pip libffi-devel python-ply python-pycparser python-cffi python-devel zlib-devel libcom_err-devel libsepol-devel libselinux-devel keyutils-libs-devel krb5-devel openssl-devel python-crypto2.6 inotify-tools

I also found this for CentOS 6::

# Packages used to retrieve/compile/run the magma code.
yum --assumeyes --enablerepo=extras install epel-release valgrind valgrind-devel texinfo autoconf automake libtool ncurses-devel gcc-c++ libstdc++-devel gcc cloog-ppl cpp glibc-devel glibc-headers kernel-headers libgomp mpfr ppl perl perl-Module-Pluggable perl-Pod-Escapes perl-Pod-Simple perl-libs perl-version patch sysstat perl-Time-HiRes cmake libarchive libbsd libbsd-devel wget git rsync perl-Git perl-Error python-pip libffi-devel python-ply python-pycparser python-cffi python-devel zlib-devel libcom_err-devel libsepol-devel libselinux-devel keyutils-libs-devel krb5-devel openssl-devel python-crypto2.6 inotify-tools clamav clamav-db json-c memcached nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib

And for CentOS 7:

# Install the the EPEL repository.
yum --assumeyes --enablerepo=extras install epel-release

# Packages needed beyond a minimal install to build and run magma.
yum --quiet --assumeyes install valgrind valgrind-devel texinfo autoconf automake libtool ncurses-devel gcc-c++ libstdc++-devel gcc cpp glibc-devel glibc-headers kernel-headers mpfr ppl perl perl-Module-Pluggable perl-Pod-Escapes perl-Pod-Simple perl-libs perl-version patch sysstat perl-Time-HiRes make cmake libarchive zlib-devel

# Grab the required packages from the EPEL repo.
yum --quiet --assumeyes install libbsd libbsd-devel inotify-tools

# Boosts the available entropy which allows magma to start faster.
yum --quiet --assumeyes install haveged

# Packages used to retrieve the magma code, but aren't required for building/running the daemon.
yum --quiet --assumeyes install wget git rsync perl-Git perl-Error

# These packages are required for the stacie.py script, which requires the python cryptography package (installed via pip).
yum --quiet --assumeyes install python-crypto python-cryptography

Thanks @ladar for the response, I will try to execute that command once I can access my machine but in the mean time I will further update the readme.

@brokep, I cannot access your site. 🤔
Is it an issue on my end?

[brokep]

Site is down currently... I am about to spin up a new instance right now actually, on CentOS7
