Behind your web server
mailrust listens on 127.0.0.1:8420. Point nginx, Caddy or your hosting panel at it, the way you do for any app.
curl -fsSL https://mailrust.com/install.sh | sh
Install
Up and runningin a minute.
mailrust is one static program. The installer puts it on a Linux server with systemd, starts it and prints a link where you finish setup in the browser.
curl -fsSL https://mailrust.com/install.sh | sh
01Two ways
Your proxy,or none at all.
HTTPS by itself
mailrust answers on ports 443 and 80 and gets a Let's Encrypt certificate on its own. Point the domain at the server first.
curl -fsSL https://mailrust.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --domain mail.example.com

Signed.Reversible.
mailrust update downloads the new version, checks its signature and checksum, keeps the previous one and restarts the service. If the new version does not start, the old one comes back. Running the installer again also updates the program and keeps your data.
sudo mailrust update
mailrust update --check only tells you whether there is a new version.
