Docker-mailserver is a complete mail server in a Docker image. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of docker-mailserver on Void Linux.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
If you do not have these tools installed, you can check the official documentation for instructions on how to install them.
The first step is to clone the docker-mailserver repository. To do this, open the terminal window and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver.git
This will clone the latest version of the docker-mailserver repository into the current directory.
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the cloned directory and open the .env file with your preferred text editor.
cd docker-mailserver
vim .env
In this file, you need to provide the configuration for your mail server. You can modify the parameters based on your specific requirements. For example, you can change the domain name, email address, or SSL certificate settings.
After configuring the docker-mailserver, start the docker-compose by running the following command:
docker-compose up -d
This command will start the mail server container in the background.
To verify the installation, you can use the following command to check the status of the containers:
docker ps -a
This will show you the status of all the containers running on your system. You should see a container named docker-mailserver_mail.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install docker-mailserver on Void Linux. You can now start to use your mail server and test its functionality. If you have any issues, or need further help, the docker-mailserver repository has detailed documentation available to guide you through further configuration steps.
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!
