## Requirements

  iRedMail-0.9.9 release.
- Your iRedMail server must be running one of supported Linux/OpenBSD
  distribution releases:

    - CentOS 7
    - OpenBSD 6.4, 6.5

Unfortunately, FreeBSD is not supported by iRedMail Easy platform.

## Create required files used by iRedMail Easy

iRedMail Easy doesn't store any SQL/LDAP passwords, instead it reads from files
under `/root/.iredmail/kv/` on your server to get them.

Please create these files under `/root/.iredmail/kv/` with correct passwords
manually, each file should contain only one line, passwords must be in plain
text, not the hashed one.

!!! attention

    You can find all info in the `iRedMail.tips` file under iRedMail
    installation directory, for example, `/root/iRedMail-0.9.9/iRedMail.tips`.
    If you don't have this file anymore, you can still find them in other
    config files.

* `mysql_root_password`: the MySQL root password. This is required for OpenLDAP
  and MySQL/MariaDB backends. You can find it in file `/root/.my.cnf` or `/root/.my.cnf-root`.
* `pgsql_root_password`: The PostgreSQL root password. This is required for
  PostgreSQL backend. You can find it in the `.pgpass` file under PostgreSQL
  data directory.
    - on CentOS, it's `/var/lib/pgsql/.pgpass`.
    - on Debian/Ubuntu, it's `/var/lib/postgresql/.pgpass`.
    - on OpenBSD, it's `/var/postgresql/.pgpass`.
* `ldap_root_password`: The password of OpenLDAP root dn (cn=Manager,dc=xx,dc=xx).
  This is required for OpenLDAP backend.
* `ldap_vmail_password`: The password of LDAP dn `cn=vmail,dc=xx,dc=xx`.

* `vmail_db_password`: The password of SQL user `vmail`.
* `vmail_db_admin_password`: The password of SQL user `vmailadmin`.
* `amavisd_db_password`: The password of SQL user `amavisd`.
* `sa_bayes_db_password`: The password of SQL user `sa_bayes`.
* `iredadmin_db_password`: The password of SQL user `iredadmin`.
* `iredapd_db_password`: The password of SQL user `iredapd`.
* `iredapd_srs_secret`: The secret string used by iRedAPD to sign SRS.
* `sogo_db_password`: The password of SQL user `sogo`.

* `roundcube_db_password`: The password of SQL user `roundcube`.
* `roundcube_des_key`: The DES key used by Roundcube to encrypt the session. You can find it in `/opt/www/roundcubemail/config/config.inc.php`, parameter `$config['des_key'] =`.
* `mlmmjadmin_api_token`: The token string used by iRedAdmin-Pro to communicate with mlmmjadmin. You can find it in `/opt/mlmmjadmin/settings.py`, parameter `api_auth_tokens =`.
* `netdata_db_password`: The password of SQL user `netdata`. You can find it in `/root/.my.cnf-netdata` or `/opt/netdata/etc/netdata/my.cnf`.
* `first_domain_admin_password`: The password of the first mail user created during iRedMail installation.

## Copy files to new locations

iRedMail Easy stores SSL cert/key files under `/opt/iredmail/ssl/`, you need to
either copy or (symbol) link existing ssl cert/key to this directory with
correct files names,

* `/opt/iredmail/ssl/key.pem`: private key
* `/opt/iredmail/ssl/cert.pem`: certificate
* `/opt/iredmail/ssl/combined.pem`: full chain

## Run the full deployment with iRedMail Easy platform

Please follow our tutorial [Getting start with iRedMail Easy](./iredmail-easy.getting.start.html)
to sign up, and add your mail server info, then perform the full deployment.

## Post-installation setup

iRedMail Easy will re-generate most config files, custom settings will be
loaded from files under `/opt/iredmail/custom/`, so if you have any
customizations, you may need to copy your custom settings to files under
`/opt/iredmail/custom/`.

### Postfix config files

iRedMail Easy will rewrite config files under `/etc/postfix/`, most importantly
`main.cf` and `master.cf`. If you have any changes in these 2 files, please
read the `[Best Practice](./iredmail-easy.best.practice.html)` document to
understand how to customize them with shell script
`/opt/iredmail/custom/postfix/custom.sh`.

For customizations you made in other files under `/etc/postfix/`, you must
move the customizations to files under `/opt/iredmail/custom/postfix/` which
have same file names.

For example, if you added some rules in `/etc/postfix/helo_access.pcre`, you
should copy these rules to file `/opt/iredmail/custom/postfix/helo_access.pcre`.
