I haven't set it up. However, what I would do is
1. Copy .../mailman/config/mhonarc.cfg to /etc/mailman3 (or wherever
you keep mailman.cfg).
2. Edit base_url and command in /etc/mailman3/mhonarc.cfg.
base_url may already be appropriate for your system, but the
"/path/to/archive" part of command will need to be adjusted.
$hostname, $listname, and $fqdn_listname are variables supplied by
Mailman at runtime. I don't know enough about MHonArc to say if
the usage of $listname (just the local part of the posting
address) and $fqdn_listname (posting address including domain) is
appropriate. I would think you'd want to use the same variable in
both places, so be careful.
3. Create any directories in "/path/to/archive" that MHonArc won't,
and make sure they have appropriate ownership and search ("x")
permissions all the way down.
4. Check that your webserver is configured to serve MHonArc at the
location specified in base_url.
5. Add the stanza
[archiver.mhonarc]
enable: yes
configuration: /etc/mailman3/mhonarc.cfg
to /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg
6. (Recommended) Mailman is perfectly happy to supply several
archivers at the same time so add
[archiver.prototype]
enable: yes
to mailman.cfg.
This drops all the posts into a maildir somewhere under $var_dir
as a backup in case the MHonArc archiving doesn't work, and
nothing else -- it's not a usable archive for browsing. I guess
there's probably a way to import them back into MHonArc, but if
not presumably you can script it usng some variant of the command
in mhonarc.cfg.
Once the MHonArc configuration is doing the right thing you can
disable it and delete the maildir contents. (Don't just "rm -rf
$var_dir/archive", though -- Mailman uses that to queue messages
being archived. I think archiver.prototype uses
$var_dir/archive/prototype as its maildir.)
7. Restart Mailman.
I don't think you need to do anything for Postorius, it will fetch the
base_url from Mailman to populate the archive links. And that should
do it on the Mailman side (except for the caveat about private
archives).
