Clone me, to create a new Haraka plugin!

These instructions will not self-destruct after use. Use and destroy.

See also, How to Write a Plugin and Plugins.md for additional plugin writing information.

Haraka plugins are named like haraka-plugin-something. All the namespace after haraka-plugin- is yours for the taking. Please check the Plugins page and a Google search to see what plugins already exist.

Once you've settled on a name, create the GitHub repo. On the repo's main page, click the Clone or download button and copy the URL. Then paste that URL into a local ENV variable with a command like this:

export MY_GITHUB_ORG=haraka
export MY_PLUGIN_NAME=haraka-plugin-SOMETHING

Clone and rename the template repo:

git clone [email protected]:haraka/haraka-plugin-template.git
mv haraka-plugin-template $MY_PLUGIN_NAME
cd $MY_PLUGIN_NAME
git remote rm origin
git remote add origin "[email protected]:$MY_GITHUB_ORG/$MY_PLUGIN_NAME.git"

Now you'll have a local git repo to begin authoring your plugin

Replaces all uses of the word template with your plugin's name.

./redress.sh [something]

You'll then be prompted to update package.json and then force push this repo onto the GitHub repo you've created earlier.

cd /path/to/local/haraka
npm install haraka-plugin-template
echo "template" >> config/plugins
service haraka restart

If the default configuration is not sufficient, copy the config file from the distribution into your haraka config dir and then modify it:

cp node_modules/haraka-plugin-template/config/template.ini config/template.ini
$EDITOR config/template.ini
