jauderho/imapsync repository overview

Usage: docker run --rm -it jauderho/imapsync:latest

Build Status Version Docker Pulls Image Size

Up to date multi-platform images are rebuilt at least once a week.

This image differs from the official image in the following ways:

  • Ubuntu 22.04 is used as the base image due to the need to use a version of IO::Socket::SSL >= 2.073
  • Remove testing and modules needed for testing
  • Only add needed packages (--no-install-recommends)
  • Use ENTRYPOINT instead of CMD
  • Half the size!

The examples below show how to migrate from Gmail to Apple Mail.

⁠Docker Compose (recommended)

# Create a .env in the same directory with the following information before running docker compose
