Server-in-a-box? Yes

This is a modification to Mail-in-a-box, but it requires a FRESH install.

  • Tested working on a fresh, fully updated Ubuntu 14.04.5 in VirtualBox on a Windows laptop.

Server-in-a-box (SIAB) is a heavily modified fork of Mail-in-a-box. It is not supported by @JoshData, Mail-in-a-box contributors, or Mail-in-a-box Forums.

After Mail-in-a-box (MIAB) is fully installed siab-conversion.sh script will run on it’s own (After you set MIAB admin password) and will do it’s thing on it’s own. you will see the usual after-install bits.

Added features

  • Webmin
  • LXC
  • LXC Web Panel
  • Shellinabox

New ports to consider

The following ports are now open on SIAB and should be considered before installing, or configuring a firewall to forward to them:

  • 5000 is for LXC web panel. Should NOT be internet facing.
  • 10000 is for Webmin. Can be internet facing but it is recommended that it is NOT.
  • 4200 is for Shellinabox. Can be internet facing but it is recommended that it is NOT.

Installing

(You need a static IP Address, firewall needs to be configured, etc, etc.)

  1. Clone this repo
  2. Run setup/start.sh (or bootstrap.sh)
  3. Follow on screen prompts
  4. Profit??
