INBUXA Admin

Note

Development happens on git.coffeylabs.org/inbuxa/inbuxa-admin; the copy on GitHub is a read-only mirror. Report issues at git.coffeylabs.org/inbuxa/inbuxa-admin/issues, join discussions at community.coffeylabs.org, or chat on Discord.

The administration interface for the INBUXA mail server: every server setting, first-boot setup, and recovery, in the browser.

It is schema-driven. After signing in it fetches the server's schema and builds every form, list and menu from it, so it covers every setting the server has without hardcoding any of them.

Design

• One edition. Every feature the server has is available here, with nothing held back. See the INBUXA server's docs/spec/.
• Runs anywhere, not on the mail server. INBUXA Admin is its own deployment, never installed onto the mail server. It's pointed at the server either at build time (VITE_API_BASE_URL) or at deploy time: <meta name="api-base-url" content="https://mail.example.com"> in index.html. Hosted like that, it signs in as the OAuth client inbuxa-admin, which the server registers when it's started with INBUXA_ADMIN_URL set to INBUXA Admin's address (for development, http://localhost:5173).
• INBUXA's look: the logo and ihasmail's palette.
• Two-factor setup names INBUXA as the issuer, and no longer makes authenticator apps fetch a logo from a third-party site.

Developing

npm ci
npm run dev          # http://localhost:5173, against VITE_API_BASE_URL in .env.development
npm run typecheck && npx eslint src/ && npx vitest run
npm run build

Upstream

INBUXA Admin was forked from upstream at v1.0.11 and no longer takes upstream's changes. Later upstream releases include code under a proprietary license, so nothing after v1.0.11 is merged or copied in. The console has diverged too far to take anything from upstream, so its releases aren't followed either: new features are this fork's own.

Versions

INBUXA Admin has its own dated version (inbuxa-version.json), shown with the upstream release it was forked from: INBUXA Admin 2026.9.18 (base 1.0.11). package.json keeps that release's version.

Source code

Every build carries its own source. The interface links to it (the user menu and the sign-in page), and the build writes it next to the app as source.tar.gz: the exact tree the running version was built from.
