# Install Mailu on a docker swarm
## Prequisites
### Swarm
In order to deploy Mailu on a swarm, you will first need to initialize the swarm:
The main command will be:
```bash
docker swarm init --advertise-addr <IP_ADDR>
```
See https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/swarm-tutorial/create-swarm/
If you want to add other managers or workers, please use:
```bash
docker swarm join --token xxxxx
```
See https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/join-nodes/
You have now a working swarm, and you can check its status with:
```bash
core@coreos-01 ~/git/Mailu/docs/swarm/1.5 $ docker node ls
ID HOSTNAME STATUS AVAILABILITY MANAGER STATUS ENGINE VERSION
xhgeekkrlttpmtgmapt5hyxrb black-pearl Ready Active 18.06.0-ce
sczlqjgfhehsfdjhfhhph1nvb * coreos-01 Ready Active Leader 18.03.1-ce
mzrm9nbdggsfz4sgq6dhs5i6n flying-dutchman Ready Active 18.06.0-ce
```
### Volume definition
For data persistance (the Mailu services might be launched/relaunched on any of the swarm nodes), we need to have Mailu data stored in a manner accessible by every manager or worker in the swarm.
Hereafter we will assume that "Mailu Data" is available on every node at "$ROOT/certs:/certs" (GlusterFS and nfs shares have been successfully used).
On this example, we are using:
- the mesh routing mode (default mode). With this mode, each service is given a virtual IP adress and docker manages the routing between this virtual IP and the container(s) providing this service.
- the default ingress mode.
### Allow authentification with the mesh routing
In order to allow every (front & webmail) container to access the other services, we will use the variable POD_ADDRESS_RANGE.
Let's create the mailu_default network:
```bash
core@coreos-01 ~ $ docker network create -d overlay --attachable mailu_default
core@coreos-01 ~ $ docker network inspect mailu_default | grep Subnet
"Subnet": "10.0.1.0/24",
```
In the docker-compose.yml file, we will then use POD_ADDRESS_RANGE = 10.0.1.0/24
In fact, imap & smtp logs doesn't show the IPs from the front(s) container(s), but the IP of "mailu_default-endpoint". So it is sufficient to set POD_ADDRESS_RANGE to this specific ip (which can be found by inspecting mailu_default network). The issue is that this endpoint is created while the stack is created, I did'nt figure a way to determine this IP before the stack creation...
### Limitation with the ingress mode
With the default ingress mode, the front(s) container(s) will see origin IP(s) all being 10.255.0.x (which is the ingress-endpoint, can be found by inspecting the ingress network)
This issue is known and discussed here:
https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/25526
A workaround (using network host mode and global deployment) is discussed here:
https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/25526#issuecomment-336363408
### Don't create an open relay !
As a side effect of this ingress mode "feature", make sure that the ingress subnet is not in your RELAYHOST, otherwise you would create an smtp open relay :-(
## Scalability
- smtp and imap are scalable
- front and webmail are scalable (pending POD_ADDRESS_RANGE is used), although the let's encrypt magic might not like it (race condidtion ? or risk to be banned by let's encrypt server if too many front containers attemps to renew the certs at the same time)
- redis, antispam, antivirus, fetchmail, admin, webdav have not been tested (hence replicas=1 in the following docker-compose.yml file)
## Variable substitution and docker-compose.yml
The docker stack deploy command doesn't support variable substitution in the .yml file itself.
As a consequence, we cannot simply use ``` docker stack deploy -c docker.compose.yml mailu ```
Instead, we will use the following work-around:
``` echo "$(docker-compose -f /mnt/docker/apps/mailu/docker-compose.yml config 2>/dev/null)" | docker stack deploy -c- mailu ```
We need also to:
- add a deploy section for every service
6 years ago
- modify the way the ports are defined for the front service
- add the POD_ADDRESS_RANGE definition for imap, smtp and antispam services
## Docker compose

## Deploy Mailu on the docker swarm
Run the following command:
```bash
echo "$(docker-compose -f /mnt/docker/apps/mailu/docker-compose.yml config 2>/dev/null)" | docker stack deploy -c- mailu
```
See how the services are being deployed:
```bash
core@coreos-01 ~ $ docker service ls
ID NAME MODE REPLICAS IMAGE PORTS
ywnsetmtkb1l mailu_antivirus replicated 1/1 mailu/none:master
pqokiaz0q128 mailu_fetchmail replicated 1/1 mailu/fetchmail:master
```
check a specific service:
```bash
core@coreos-01 ~ $ docker service ps mailu_fetchmail
ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENT STATE ERROR PORTS
tbu8ppgsdffj mailu_fetchmail.1 mailu/fetchmail:master coreos-01 Running Running 11 days ago
```
You might also have a look on the logs:
```bash
core@coreos-01 ~ $ docker service logs -f mailu_fetchmail
```
## Remove the stack
Run the follwoing command:
```bash
core@coreos-01 ~ $ docker stack rm mailu
```
