Thanks!

Agree email is important for passwords and stuff.

I don't think we can configure email once and for all inside this docker image, since it requires server config and credentials. The mail server should probably live out on the Internet somewhere, or at least in a different Docker image.

But I think you can mount in the necessary config when running this image. I'm using gmail's free smpt service for one project, and the config looks like this:

/var/archiva/conf/jetty.xml

  <New id="validation_mail" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource">
    <Arg>mail/Session</Arg>
    <Arg>
      <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.jndi.factories.MailSessionReference">
        <Set name="user">***</Set>
        <Set name="password">***</Set>
        <Set name="properties">
          <New class="java.util.Properties">
            <Put name="mail.user">***</Put>
            <Put name="mail.password">***</Put>
            <Put name="mail.smtp.host">smtp.gmail.com</Put>
            <Put name="mail.transport.protocol">smtp</Put>
            <Put name="mail.smtp.port">587</Put>
            <Put name="mail.smtp.auth">true</Put>
            <Put name="mail.smtp.starttls.enable">true</Put>
            <Put name="mail.debug">true</Put>
          </New>
        </Set>
      </New>
    </Arg>
  </New>

This makes an email resource available in the Jetty container. Archiva knows how to find it from there.
