|
**inbuxa** is a mail and collaboration server: JMAP, IMAP, POP3, SMTP,
|
|
CalDAV, CardDAV and WebDAV, in one Rust binary, with ihasmail as its web front
|
|
end. It is a fork of [Stalwart](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart).
|
|
Project site: [inbuxa.org](https://inbuxa.org). Documentation: [docs.inbuxa.org](https://docs.inbuxa.org).
|
|
|
|
Stalwart ships some features only in a paid Enterprise Edition: multi-tenancy,
|
|
masked email, undelete and others. **inbuxa** ships everything to everybody under
|
|
the AGPL-3.0, rebuilding those features independently and without using any
|
|
of Stalwart's Enterprise code.
|
|
|
|
## What's different from Stalwart
|
|
|
|
- **Every feature, one edition.** No license key, no edition checks, no
|
|
upsell. See `docs/spec/SPEC.md` §4 for the features being rebuilt, and
|
|
`docs/spec/features/` for each one's specification.
|
|
- **Webmail and administration by ihasmail,** as a separate service that can
|
|
run beside the server or elsewhere. Stalwart's own web interface is removed,
|
|
so there's no web front end on the mail host.
|
|
- **Clean-room rebuilds.** Enterprise-only code is stripped from every
|
|
upstream release before it's imported. The rebuilt features are written
|
|
from specifications that use only public sources (`docs/spec/SPEC.md` §3).
|
|
|
|
## How the fork is kept
|
|
|
|
Upstream releases arrive as stripped snapshots, never with upstream's git
|
|
history, which contains Enterprise code. `tools/fork/strip.py` builds each
|
|
snapshot on top of upstream's own `ossify.py`, then verifies it independently.
|
|
The report for every import is in `docs/fork/strip-reports/`. See
|
|
`docs/spec/SPEC.md` §2.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo build --release -p inbuxa # the binary is target/release/inbuxa
|
|
docker build -t inbuxa . # or the container image
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Settings are read from `INBUXA_*` environment variables. An existing Stalwart
|
|
install's `STALWART_*` variables aren't read: the server stops at startup and
|
|
names each one to rename.
|
|
New installs keep their data in `/var/lib/inbuxa` and logs in
|
|
`/var/log/inbuxa`. Existing installs keep the paths their configuration
|
|
already names, so none of their data moves.
|

It is a fork of Stalwart, copyright © Stalwart Labs LLC, **modified by

they cover, and every upstream file this fork changed says so in its header,

AGPL-3.0-only or Stalwart's Enterprise License, and **inbuxa** takes them under

the AGPL-3.0 only. A few of those files also carry code from other projects
|
|
under MIT or BSD licenses, which stays under those licenses;
|

[THIRD-PARTY.md](./THIRD-PARTY.md) lists it with its notices. "Stalwart" is

Stalwart Labs' name. **inbuxa** isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Stalwart
