## crates:
- `core` the library
- `cli` a command line tool to manage lists
- `web` an `axum` based web server capable of serving archives and authenticating list owners and members
- `archive-http` static web archive generation or with a dynamic http server
- `rest-http` a REST http server to manage lists
## Features
- easy setup
- extensible through Rust API as a [library](./core)
- basic management through [CLI tool](./cli/)
- optional lightweight web archiver ([static](./archive-http/) and [dynamic](./web/))
- useful for both **newsletters**, **communities** and for static **article comments**
## Roadmap
- extensible through HTTP REST API as an HTTP server, with webhooks
## Initial setup
Create a configuration file and a database:
```shell
$ mkdir -p /home/user/.config/mailpot
$ export MPOT_CONFIG=/home/user/.config/mailpot/config.toml
$ cargo run --bin mpot -- sample-config > "$MPOT_CONFIG"
$ # edit config and set database path e.g. "/home/user/.local/share/mailpot/mpot.db"
$ cargo run --bin mpot -- -c "$MPOT_CONFIG" db-location
/home/user/.local/share/mailpot/mpot.db
```
This creates the database file in the configuration file as if you executed the following:
```shell
$ sqlite3 /home/user/.local/share/mailpot/mpot.db < ./core/src/schema.sql
```
## Examples
```text
% mpot help
