Status

This project is effectively unmaintained. I will do my best to shepherd pull requests, but cannot guarantee a prompt response and do not have bandwidth to address issues or add new features. Please let me know via an issue if you'd be interested in taking ownership of docker-kolab.

Quick start

Run command:

docker run \
    --restart on-failure:1 \
    --name kolab \
    -h mail.example.org \
    -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
    -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro \
    -v $PWD/kolab/data:/data:rw \
    -v $PWD/kolab/config:/config:rw \
    -v $PWD/kolab/spool:/spool:rw \
    -v $PWD/kolab/log:/log:rw \
    -e TZ=Europe/Moscow \
    -e LDAP_ADMIN_PASS=<password> \
    -e LDAP_MANAGER_PASS=<password> \
    -e LDAP_CYRUS_PASS=<password> \
    -e LDAP_KOLAB_PASS=<password> \
    -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASS=<password> \
    -e MYSQL_KOLAB_PASS=<password> \
    -e MYSQL_ROUNDCUBE_PASS=<password> \

    --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN \
    --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
    --tty \
    kvaps/kolab:16

It should be noted that the --cap-add=NET_ADMIN and -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules:ro option is necessary only for Fail2ban, if you do not plan to use Fail2ban, you can exclude it.

Note: Nginx in this image is already configured for use /tmp/letsencrypt as directory for letsencrypt checks

For update from previous versions of my docker image, please follow these simple steps:

• 2015-11-03: Update supervisord config:

# Сheck which services is startup (not commented)
cat /data/etc/supervisord.conf

# Replace your file with a new
cp -f /etc/supervisord.conf /data/etc/supervisord.conf

• 2015-01-24: If you have not default.bc script:

# Create default sieve script
mkdir -p /data/var/lib/imap/sieve/global/
cat > /data/var/lib/imap/sieve/global/default.script << EOF
require "fileinto";
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES"
{
        fileinto "Spam";
}
EOF
# Compile it
