### Network
All containers share a network "mailcow-network" with the subnet 172.22.1.0/24 - if you want to change it, set it in the composer file.
IPs are dynamic except for PowerDNS resolver which has a static ip address 172.22.1.254.
- rspamd learns mail as spam or ham when you move a message in or out of the junk folder to any mailbox besides trash.
- rspamd auto-learns mail when a high or low score is detected (see https://rspamd.com/doc/configuration/statistic.html#autolearning)
- You can upgrade containers by running `docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d`.
1. You need Docker and Docker Compose. Most systems can install Docker by running `wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh` - see [this link](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) for installing Docker Compose.
2. Clone this repository and configure `mailcow.conf`, do not use special chars in passwords in this file (will be fixed soon).
3. `docker-compose up -d` - leave the `-d` out for a wall of logs in case of debugging.
You can now access https://${MAILCOW_HOSTNAME} with the default credentials `admin` + password `moohoo`. The database will be initialized when you first visit the UI.
## Configuration after installation
### Rspamd UI access
At first you may want to setup Rspamds web interface which provides some useful features and information.
docker-compose exec rspamd-mailcow rspamadm pw
2. Replace the default hash in `data/conf/rspamd/override.d/worker-controller.inc` by your newly generated:
```
enable_password = "myhash";
```
Open https://${MAILCOW_HOSTNAME}/rspamd in a browser and login!
mailcow dockerized comes with a snakeoil CA "mailcow" and a server certificate in `data/assets/ssl`. Please use your own trusted certificates.
mailcow uses 3 domain names that should be covered by your new certificate:
- ${MAILCOW_HOSTNAME}
- autodiscover.example.org (used for ActiveSync)
- autoconfig.example.org (used by Thunderbird and derivates)
**Obtain multi-SAN certificate by Let's Encrypt**
This is just an example of how to obtain certificates with certbot. There are several methods!
wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto -O /usr/local/sbin/certbot && chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/certbot
--standalone \
--standalone-supported-challenges http-01 \
-d ${MAILCOW_HOSTNAME} \
-d autodiscover.example.org \
-d autoconfig.example.org \
--email you@example.org \
--agree-tos
```
3. Create hard links to the full path of the new certificates. Assuming you are still in the mailcow root folder:
mv data/assets/ssl/cert.{pem,pem.backup}
mv data/assets/ssl/key.{pem,pem.backup}
ln $(readlink -f /etc/letsencrypt/live/${MAILCOW_HOSTNAME}/fullchain.pem) data/assets/ssl/cert.pem
ln $(readlink -f /etc/letsencrypt/live/${MAILCOW_HOSTNAME}/privkey.pem) data/assets/ssl/key.pem
docker-compose restart postfix-mailcow
docker-compose restart dovecot-mailcow
docker-compose restart nginx-mailcow
When renewing certificates, run the last two steps (link + restart) as post-hook in a script.
All commands need to be run from within `/path/to/git/clone/mailcow-dockerized`.
### Get bash-completion for docker-compose
For the tab-tab... :-)
```
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/compose/$(docker-compose version --short)/contrib/completion/bash/docker-compose -o /etc/bash_completion.d/docker-compose
```
You can use `docker-compose logs $service-name` for almost all containers. Only rmilter does not log to stdout. You can check rspamd logs for rmilter responses.

Remove volume `mysql-vol-1` to remove all MySQL data.
Remove volume `redis-vol-1` to remove all Redis data.
Remove volume `vmail-vol-1` to remove all contents of `/var/vmail` mounted to `dovecot-mailcow`.
Remove volume `dkim-vol-1` to remove all DKIM keys.
You can scale some services for mailcow, which is much more useful on a multi-host system. Please do not scale MySQL or Redis containers.
This is insufficiently tested!
```
docker-compose scale rspamd-mailcow=2
docker-compose scale rmilter-mailcow=3
