After the installation, secure your MariaDB installation by running the following command:

Step 6: Download and install Roundcube

Download the latest version of Roundcube using the following command:

tar -zxvf latest

Move the extracted files to your web server's document root:

cp -R roundcubemail-x.x.x/* /var/www/html/

Step 7: Configure Roundcube

Navigate to the Roundcube directory:

cd /var/www/html/

Rename the configuration file:

mv config/config.inc.php.sample config/config.inc.php

Edit the configuration file:

nano config/config.inc.php

Look for the section below and replace it with your database details:

$config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysqli://roundcubeuser:YOUR_PASSWORD@localhost/roundcubedb';

Save and exit the file.
