Overview

Cloudron turns a server into an app store : it handles TLS certificates, backups, updates, user accounts and email for the apps it runs. Since Cloudron already provides mailboxes, adding Cypht gives those mailboxes a webmail that can also aggregate external accounts and feeds.

Cypht is not in the official Cloudron catalogue, instead is published as a community app by Felix Bartels, whose packaging sources are at git.9wd.eu/apps/cloudron-cypht. You add the community app once, then install and update Cypht like any other Cloudron app.

Install it

1. Open your Cloudron dashboard and go to the App Store.

2. Select Community apps and add this app URL :

   https://git.9wd.eu/apps/cloudron-cypht/raw/branch/release/CloudronVersions.json

3. You will now see a detailed listing of the app where you can select "Install Cypht" to pick the domain.

4. Open the app from the dashboard once the installation finishes.

The app listing, with its changelog, can be found in the Cloudron Community Appstore. Plan for around 512 MB of memory for the app.

Sign in

The package authenticates against Cloudron's email addon, so there is no IMAP host to type in : log in with your existing Cloudron email address and its password.

Once inside, you can add any number of additional IMAP, SMTP or RSS/Atom sources from Cypht itself, exactly as in a standalone installation.

Good to know

Cypht prioritises security over out-of-the-box convenience : remote images are blocked by default, for instance. That is intentional, and the behaviour can be relaxed in the settings.

The packaging history and troubleshooting reports live in the Cloudron forum thread.
