This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of docker-mailserver on OpenSUSE Latest.
Open a terminal and clone the docker-mailserver repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver.git
Create a local configuration directory for docker-mailserver using the following command:
mkdir -p /opt/docker-mailserver/data
Copy the example configuration files to the local configuration directory using the following command:
cp -r docker-mailserver/sample-config/* /opt/docker-mailserver/data
Edit the configuration files in the local configuration directory to configure the mail server according to your needs. You can use a text editor of your choice to edit the files. For example:
nano /opt/docker-mailserver/data/mail.env
Run the docker-mailserver container using the following command:
docker run -d \
--name mail \
--restart always \
--env-file /opt/docker-mailserver/data/mail.env \
-v /opt/docker-mailserver/data:/tmp/docker-mailserver \
-p 25:25 \
-p 143:143 \
docker.io/mailserver/docker-mailserver:latest
This command will start the mail server container and map ports 25 and 143 to the host machine.
Verify that the mail server is running by sending a test email to a local address on the server. You can use the following command to send an email:
echo "Test email" | mail -s "Test Subject" test@example.com
Congratulations! You have successfully installed docker-mailserver on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now start using the mail server according to your needs.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
