Introduction
Alpine is well suited for hosting email-, web- or other network-related services.
Your biggest task is to figure out what you want your system to do.
Preparing Alpine
First you need to get alpine up and running.
Follow the Installation instructions on how to get your Alpine booted.
If nothing else is mentioned in the below instructions, you should use the latest stable release:
|
Download Stable Version Alpine 3.20.3 |
VServer or not
VServer itself has nothing to do with the various services.
But if you intend to run multiple services on same box (e.g. mail and webhosting) it might be wise to run the various services in separate vserver-guests.
- Setting up a basic vserver | Basic information on how to set up vserver hosts/guests
We split the 'Mail' section into various tasks.
One task is to gather and process mail. Some other task would be to prevent spam and virus etc.
Finally we need to make sure the user can fetch/read his mail.
Receive mail
- Setting up postfix with virtual domains | Postfix can be configured in multiple ways - Here we do it with virtual domains
Processing mail - Virus protection
- Setting up ClamAV for Postfix | Referrers to Setting_up_postfix_with_virtual_domains instructions
Processing mail - Spam protection
- Setting up Gross for Postfix | Referrers to Setting_up_postfix_with_virtual_domains instructions
- Setting up ClamSMTP | Use ClamSMTP to provide advanced content and virus filtering for spam
- Setting up SaneSecurity & MSRBL extra definitions | Another good way of catching SPAM is Sanesecurity and MSRBL definitions
Delivering mail to the user
- Setting up dovecot with imap and ssl | Secure way to fetch you mail from the mailer daemon
- Setting up dovecot with imap and tls | Secure way to fetch you mail from the mailer daemon
- Hosting Web/Email services on Alpine | Describes multiple services on same document
- Protecting your email server with Alpine | Describes multiple services on same document
Web

- Lighttpd | Lighttpd web server
- Cherokee | Cherokee web server
- Apache | Apache web server
- Darkhttpd | Darkhttpd web server

SSH
