Getting Started

The easiest way to install Userli on a fresh Debian Buster is running these commands:

# install dependencies
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y ansible git python3-pip
sudo pip3 install molecule  # re-run in case of error

# get code
git clone https://github.com/systemli/ansible-role-userli.git
cd ansible-role-userli

# install apache2, mariadb, php8.0 and userli
sudo molecule converge -s localhost

This installs all dependencies, creates a database and database user (name: userli, password: userli), and installs the userli code at /var/www/userli. It is accessible via http://localhost:8080. There, you can create the first domain and user for your instance.

Warning

Do not run this configuration in production.

Next, you would have to change the password of the database user, configure your instance, and probably install Dovecot to do anything meaningful.

Better, do a manual installation to understand each part of your configuration.
