How to setup your dev environment

First you need to decide which projects you want to develop. You will most likely always need mailman-core and mailmanclient.

After that you can choose if you want to stick to the core, or you want to also develop django projects. There is postorius - Management Interface And Hyperkitty - Mailman Archiver

Note that this guide assumes you read the git instructions and set up your Gitlab account properly.

If you want to contribute to Mailman, you should clone your own forks. You will have to change the urls shown below accordingly.

This guide assumes that you are setting everything in the directory created below:

$ mkdir -p ~/dev/mailman

And that you have two virtualenvs:

$ cd ~/dev/mailman
$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv3
$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2 venv2

Mailman Core

Detailed instructions can be found at readthedocs.org.

$ cd ~/dev/mailman
$ git clone git@gitlab.com:mailman/mailman.git
$ source venv3/bin/activate
$ cd mailman
$ python setup.py develop
$ deactivate

Mailman Client

Detailed instructions can be found at readthedocs.org.

$ cd ~/dev/mailman
$ git clone git@gitlab.com:mailman/mailmanclient.git
$ source venv2/bin/activate
$ cd mailmanclient
$ python setup.py develop
$ deactivate

Postorius

Detailed instructions can be found at readthedocs.org.

Make sure to install mailmanclient first!

$ cd ~/dev/mailman
$ git clone git@gitlab.com:mailman/postorius.git
$ source venv2/bin/activate
$ cd postorius
$ python setup.py develop
$ deactivate

Hyperkitty

Detailed instructions can be found at readthedocs.org.

Make sure to install mailmanclient first!

$ cd ~/dev/mailman
$ git clone git@gitlab.com:mailman/hyperkitty.git
$ source venv2/bin/activate
$ cd hyperkitty
$ python setup.py develop
$ deactivate

Django projects

These are not needed if you are going to set up the WSGI interface in a general webserver such as Apache or gunicorn. They are convenient, however, because the recommended configuration for servers exposed to the Internet does not provide debug pages.

$ cd ~/dev/mailman
$ git clone git@gitlab.com:mailman/hyperkitty_standalone.git
$ git clone git@gitlab.com:mailman/postorius_standalone.git

To run either of the django projects

$ cd ~/dev/mailman
$ source venv2/bin/activate
$ cd postorius_standalone
# After the first time, migrate is a no-op unless the Postorius DB schema changes.
$ python manage.py migrate
# You only need to createsuperuser once.
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
$ python manage.py runserver

Hyperkitty is setup the same way as Postorius (but in hyperkitty_standalone).
