This is a small tool to create a HTML archiver for an existing Google Group, which can import existing mails and update new mails regularly.
Dependencies:
- Python 2
- GNU Mailman
- Gmail
- Prepare Group Subscriber
- Create a Gmail account (do not use a precious password)
- Subscribe to your Google Group
- Create a filter that matches "to:(listname@googlegroups)" and label it with your listname (no whitespace please)
- Download History Mails
python migrate.py- choose "d" to download from YOUR Gmail account
- choose "m" to convert box format to mbox format
- (You can use any other E-mail client to download mbox)
- Setup Mailman
- Install GNU Mailman
- Apply the patches if you like (see below).
- Create a new list in Mailman (listname should be exactly the same, while admin mail and password do not matter):
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/newlist - Import history mails:
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/arch listname history-mbox-file
- Setup Crontab
- Modify
cron.shscript, set variables LISTS, EMAIL and PASSWORD - Add crontab to a user with mailman permissions (e.g. root) which runs cron.sh every 15 minutes:
*/15 * * * * /absolute/path/to/cron.sh
- Setup Web Server
- Nginx for example:
location /pipermail {
alias /var/lib/mailman/archives/public;
autoindex on;
}
Modifications made to Mailman (modified files are given in their entirety):
- GBK handling:
HyperArch.py => /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py - Remove unused HTML elements:
template => /var/lib/mailman/templates/en/
If you modified the templates, HTMLs have to be rebuilt:
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/arch --wipe listname history-mbox-filepython migrate.pyto convertlistname-full.box(containing all mails received bycron.sh) to mbox format/usr/lib/mailman/bin/arch listname listname-full.mbox
