Docker Compose setup
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Prepare the environment
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Mailu will store all of its persistent data in a path of your choice
|
|
(``/mailu`` by default) simply create the directory and move there:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
mkdir /mailu
|
|
cd /mailu
|
|
|
|
Create the configuration files
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Docker Compose configuration is stored in a file named ``docker-compose.yml``.
|
|
Additionally, Mailu relies on a ``mailu.env`` file for various settings.
|
|
Both files can be generated by the `mailu setup utility`_. The setup utility
|
|
is mostly self-explanatory, with some more additional information in this section.
|
|
|
|
.. _`mailu setup utility`: https://setup.mailu.io
|
|
|
|
.. _tls_flavor:
|
|
|
|
TLS certificates
|
|
````````````````
|
|
|
|
Sets the ``TLS_FLAVOR`` to one of the following
|
|
values:
|
|
|
|
- ``cert`` is the default and requires certificates to be setup manually;
|
|
- ``letsencrypt`` will use the *Letsencrypt!* CA to generate automatic certificates;
|
|
- ``mail`` is similar to ``cert`` except that TLS will only be served for
|
|
emails (IMAP and SMTP), not HTTP (use it behind reverse proxies);
|
|
- ``mail-letsencrypt`` is similar to ``letsencrypt`` except that TLS will only be served for
|
|
emails (IMAP and SMTP), not HTTP (use it behind reverse proxies);
|
|
- ``notls`` will disable TLS, this is not recommended except for testing.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
When using *Letsencrypt!* you have to make sure that the DNS ``A`` and ``AAAA`` records for the
|
|
all hostnames mentioned in the ``HOSTNAMES`` variable match with the ip adresses of you server.
|
|
Or else certificate generation will fail! See also: :ref:`dns_setup`.
|
|
|
|
Bind address
|
|
````````````
|
|
|
|
The bind addresses need to match the public IP addresses assigned to your server. For IPv6 you will need the ``<global>`` scope address.
|
|
|
|
You can find those addresses by running the following:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
[root@mailu ~]$ ifconfig eth0
|
|
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
|
|
inet 125.189.138.127 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 5.189.138.255
|
|
inet6 fd21:aab2:717c:cc5a::1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global>
|
|
inet6 fe2f:2a73:43a8:7a1b::1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
|
|
ether 00:50:56:3c:b2:23 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
|
|
RX packets 174866612 bytes 127773819607 (118.9 GiB)
|
|
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
|
|
TX packets 19905110 bytes 2191519656 (2.0 GiB)
|
|
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
|
|
|
|
If the address is not configured directly (NAT) on any of the network interfaces or if
|
|
you would simply like the server to listen on all interfaces, use ``0.0.0.0`` and ``::``. Note that running is this mode is not supported and can lead to `issues`_.

Review configuration variables
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
After downloading the files, open ``mailu.env`` and review the variable settings.
|
|
Make sure to read the comments in the file and instructions from the :ref:`common_cfg` page.
|
|
|
|
Finish setting up TLS
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Mailu relies heavily on TLS and must have a key pair and a certificate
|
|
available, at least for the hostname configured in the ``mailu.env`` file.
|
|
|
|
If you set ``TLS_FLAVOR`` to ``cert`` or ``mail`` then you must create a ``certs`` directory
|
|
in your root path and setup a key-certificate pair there:
|
|
|
|
- ``cert.pem`` contains the certificate (override with ``TLS_CERT_FILENAME``),
|
|
- ``key.pem`` contains the key pair (override with ``TLS_KEYPAIR_FILENAME``).
|
|
|
|
Start Mailu
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
You may now start Mailu. Move the to the Mailu directory and run:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
docker-compose up -d
|
|
|
|
Finally, you need an admin user account.
|
|
|
|
You can have the system create it automatically:
|
|
use the environment variables ``INITIAL_ADMIN_*`` as described in :ref:`admin_account`
|
|
|
|
Else, if you don't go with the automatic way, you need to manually create the admin account now:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
docker-compose exec admin flask mailu admin me example.net 'password'
|
|
|
|
This will create a user named ``me@example.net`` with password ``password`` and administration privileges. Connect to the Web admin interface and change the password to a strong one.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: It is vitally important that either a user with the same email as ``POSTMASTER`` in your ``mailu.env`` exists, or you remember to create an alias with this name after you log in. All kinds of strange errors will occur as a result of not doing so!
