⁠SmarterMail Docker Setup

This repository contains a Docker Compose configuration to set up SmarterMail using Docker. SmarterMail is a powerful and flexible mail server for Windows, and this setup allows you to run it on Linux via Docker.

⁠Prerequisites

• Docker installed on your machine
• Docker Compose installed on your machine

⁠Getting Started

⁠Clone the Repository

Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/Peppershade/SmarterMail-Docker.git
cd SmarterMail-Docker

⁠Configuration

The provided docker-compose.yml file is configured to use the peppershade/smartermail:8930 image. Ensure you adjust the configuration to match your local timezone.

⁠Example docker-compose.yml

services:
  smartermail:
    image: peppershade/smartermail:8930
    network_mode: "host"
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
    volumes:
      - ./maildata:/var/lib/smartermail
      - ./mailconfig:/etc/smartermail

⁠Timezone

Set the timezone to your local timezone by modifying the TZ environment variable in the docker-compose.yml file.

⁠Volumes

• ./maildata:/var/lib/smartermail: Stores your mail data.
• ./mailconfig:/etc/smartermail: Stores your configuration data.

⁠Ports

The ports section is commented out in the docker-compose.yml file because network_mode: "host" is used. If you need to use a different network mode, you can uncomment and configure the ports as needed.

# ports:
#   - 80:80
#   - 443:443
#   - 587:587
#   - 110:110

#   - 995:995

⁠Running the Service

To start the SmarterMail service, navigate to the directory containing your docker-compose.yml file and run:

docker-compose up -d

This command will start the SmarterMail service in detached mode.

⁠Stopping the Service

⁠Persistent Data

The maildata and mailconfig directories are mounted as volumes to ensure data persistence. Make sure to back up these directories regularly.
