Install mailcow
You need Docker and Docker Compose.
1. Learn how to install Docker and Docker Compose.
Most systems can safely install Docker by running curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
Please use the latest Docker engine available and do not use the engine that ships with your distros repository.
2. Clone the master branch of the repository
git clone https://github.com/andryyy/mailcow-dockerized && cd mailcow-dockerized
3. Generate a configuration file. Use a FQDN (host.domain.tld) as hostname when asked.
./generate_config.sh
4. Change configuration if you want or need to.
nano mailcow.conf
If you plan to use a reverse proxy, you can, for example, bind HTTPS to 127.0.0.1 on port 8443 and HTTP to 127.0.0.1 on port 8080.
5. Run the composer file. It will pull images and build containers.
docker-compose up -d
Done!
You can now access https://${MAILCOW_HOSTNAME} with the default credentials admin + password moohoo.
The database will be initialized right after a connection to MySQL can be established.
Update mailcow
There is no update routine. You need to refresh your pulled repository clone and apply your local changes (if any). Actually there are many ways to merge local changes. Here is one to stash all local changes, pull changes from the remote master branch and apply your stash on top of it:
# Stash local changes
git stash
# Re-pull master
git pull
# Apply stash and remove it
git stash pop
Pull new images (if any) and recreate changed containers:
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d --remove-orphans
