aksaramaya/zimbra repository overview

⁠Deploy the Docker container

Now to deploy the container based on the previous image. As well as publish the Zimbra Collaboration ports, the hostname and the proper DNS, as you want to use bind as a local DNS nameserver within the container, also we will send the password that we want to our Zimbra Server like admin password, mailbox, LDAP, etc.: Syntax:

docker run -p PORTS -h HOSTNAME.DOMAIN --dns DNSSERVER -i -t -e PASSWORD=YOURPASSWORD NAMEOFDOCKERIMAGE

Example:

docker run -p 25:25 -p 80:80 -p 456:456 -p 587:587 -p 110:110 -p 143:143 -p 993:993 -p 995:995 -p 443:443 -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 -p 7071:7071 -p 9071:9071 -h zimbra86-docker.zimbra.io --dns 127.0.0.1 --dns 8.8.8.8 -i -t -e PASSWORD=Zimbra2015 zimbra_docker

This will create the container in few seconds, and run automatically the start.sh:

Install a DNS Server based in bind9 and the dnsutils package

• Configure all the DNS Server to resolve automatically internal the MX and the hostname that we define while launch the container.
• Install the OS dependencies for Zimbra Collaboration 8.6
• Create 2 files to automate the Zimbra Collaboration installation, the keystrokes and the config.defaults.
• Launch the installation of Zimbra based only in the .install.sh -s
• Inject the config.defaults file with all the parameters that is autoconfigured with the Hostname, domain, IP, and password that you define before.
• The script takes a few minutes, dependent on the your Internet Speed, and resources.

⁠Access to the Web Client and Admin Console

The Script will take care of everything and after a few minutes you can go to the IP address of your server and use the following URLs:

Web Client - https://YOURIP⁠ Admin Console - https://YOURIP:7071⁠
