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/Amsterdam
    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
#      - 443/udp:443/udp
