Self-hosted Tutorial

This project is now fully based on Cloudflare Pages and Cloudflare D1, which greatly simplifies the deployment process. All you need is a domain name hosted on Cloudflare.

Requirements

• Cloudflare account and a domain name hosted on Cloudflare
• Local installation of Node.js (version >= 18.x) and pnpm

Automatic Deployment (Recommended)

This project includes a pre-configured GitHub Action workflow to help you automatically deploy the Vmail application to Cloudflare.

For detailed steps, please refer to the GitHub Action Auto-Deployment Tutorial.

Manual Deployment Steps

1. Clone the project locally

   git clone https://github.com/oiov/vmail
   cd vmail
   pnpm install

2. Create a Cloudflare D1 Database Create a D1 database in the Cloudflare dashboard or using the Wrangler CLI.

3. Configure wrangler.toml Replace the ${...} placeholders in the wrangler.toml file in the root directory with your Cloudflare and D1 configuration information. You can also set these values through environment variables in Cloudflare Pages.

4. Build and Deploy

   # Build the frontend application
   pnpm run build
   
   # Deploy to Cloudflare
   pnpm run deploy

   Wrangler will automatically handle the deployment of frontend static assets and the Worker, and apply database migrations according to the configuration.

5. Configure Email Routing Rules In your Cloudflare domain management interface, go to Email -> Email Routing -> Routes, set up a Catch-all rule, and set the action to Send to a Worker, selecting the Worker you just deployed.

Local development

1. Copy the environment variable file

   # This command creates a local environment variable file that wrangler dev will load automatically
   cp .env.example .env

2. Fill in local environment variables Fill in the necessary environment variables in the .env file, especially D1_DATABASE_ID, etc. You need to create a D1 database in Cloudflare for local development first.

3. Start the development server

   pnpm run dev

   This command starts both the frontend Vite development server and the local Wrangler Worker environment at the same time.

Environment Variables

When deploying to Cloudflare Pages, you need to configure the following environment variables:

• DATABASE_NAME: Your D1 database name.
• DATABASE_ID: Your D1 database ID.
• COOKIES_SECRET: A secret used to sign cookies.
• EMAIL_DOMAIN: Your email domain, e.g. example.com,example.net.
• TURNSTILE_KEY: Your Turnstile site key (optional).
• TURNSTILE_SECRET: Your Turnstile secret key (optional).
• PASSWORD: Site access password (optional).
• API_RATE_LIMIT_PER_MINUTE: API rate limit per minute (optional, default 100).
• SHOW_AFF: Show promotional popup and link (optional, true to enable, hidden by default).
