This Ansible role installs the `Lokole web app <https://github.com/ascoderu/opwen-webapp>`_ within Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB). Lokole is a project by the Canadian-Congolese non-profit `Ascoderu <https://ascoderu.ca>`_.
The Lokole is a simple email client that offers functionality like:
1. Self-service creation of user accounts
2. Read emails sent to the account
3. Write emails including rich formatting
4. Send attachments
The Lokole email client is translated into a number of languages, including French and Lingala.
