Mailpot - WIP mailing list manager

Crates:

• core
• cli a command line tool to manage lists
• rest-http a REST http server to manage lists

Project goals

• easy setup
• extensible through Rust API as a library
• extensible through HTTP REST API as an HTTP server, with webhooks
• basic management through CLI
• replaceable lightweight web archiver
• custom storage?
• useful for both newsletters, discussions

Initial setup

Check where mpot expects your database file to be:

$ cargo run --bin mpot -- db-location
Configuration file /home/user/.config/mailpot/config.toml doesn't exist

Uuugh, oops.

$ mkdir -p /home/user/.config/mailpot
$ echo 'send_mail = { "type" = "ShellCommand", "value" = "/usr/bin/false" }' > /home/user/.config/mailpot/config.toml
$ cargo run --bin mpot -- db-location
/home/user/.local/share/mailpot/mpot.db

Now you can initialize the database file:

$ mkdir -p /home/user/.local/share/mailpot/
$ sqlite3 /home/user/.local/share/mailpot/mpot.db < ./core/src/schema.sql
