djmsgparser (Django .MSG Parser)

A Django Pluggable Web App Which Parses Outlook's .MSG File. This will be useful for non-Windows users (like me) when the only requirement is to see the .msg file content without uploading to 3rd-party non-secured web sites.

Installation & Deployment Guide -

1. Install global dependencies

 sudo apt-get install virtualenv python-pip git

2. Upgrade pip and setuptools that are bundled with the OS to the latest stable versions.

 sudo -H pip install pip -U

 sudo -H pip install setuptools -U

3. Clone the djmsgparser from github to your preferred directory.

git clone https://github.com/sauravmahuri2007/djmsgparser.git

cd djmsgparser

4. Create virtualenv and install project dependencies

virtualenv --python=python3 venv

source venv/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Create uploads directory where the .msg files will be temporary uploaded for parsing

mkdir uploads

6. Run the app using the default lightweight Django web server (until this app is not part of a big application)

python manage.py runserver

Or, Install and Run the App using install script (Only for Ubuntu) -

./install

The app should have started running at http://127.0.0.1:8000. To start the djmsgparser application at any time below command can be executed in terminal:

djmsgparser # run in default address or,
djmsgparser 127.0.0.1:8008  # to run the app in any specific ip and port
