* follow up on #2383
Fixes a documentation error by which a list would not be rendered
correctly. This has been taken care of.
* update the `README.md`
I felt the need to update the README for several reasons:
1. LDAP issues that the core maintainers team cannot really resolve
2. Cleaning up the somewhat messy structure near the end
The first point goes without explanantion. The second points includes:
2.1. The tagging convention is now easier to read and understand
2.2. Some bullut points or notes have been inlined to "stick" more to
the content that it actually belongs to
2.3. The note about the "old" `setup.sh` for DMS `10.1.0` has been
removed as it is obsolete now. We encourage users to upgrade to
`10.4.0` anyways.
2.4. The markdown code highlighting is now using `CONSOLE` instead of
`BASH` because `CONSOLE` is more appropriate.
2.5. Capitalized headings
2.6. Updated the section about `./setup.sh help` to be in one place now
instead of two
2.7. DKIM key generation does now not interfere with user account
creation.
* adjusted content to PR suggestions
* docs(ssl): Adjust heading levels for provisioning sections
- Group provisioning sections under one heading level.
- Use `attr_list` syntax for headings to make the ToC sidebar entry less verbose.
* docs(ssl): Minor fixes
Typos, formatting.
* docs(ssl): Rephrase Traefik wildcard support
Split the line out into multiple with better phrasing.
* docs(ssl): Add FQDN section
We briefly mention the same info twice on the docs page, but as it applies to all provisioners in general, it's been given it's own detailed section with examples.
Single section to inform users about an FQDN, how it's configured and understood by `docker-mailserver` for both Docker CLI and `docker-compose.yml` variations.
Adds note about wildcard support and bare domains to clear up any confusion configuring FQDN for these two.
Additional note about Certbot using symlinks for it's cert storage.
* chore: Add FQDN comment for `docker-compose.yml` example config
Below commit messages are roughly equivalent to what is listed on the PR. The PR provides additional linked resources for reference to support commit message statements.
---
* docs: Add CT log warning
- Added a warning to make users aware that using a public CA like _Let's Encrypt_ will publicly log information that may be somewhat sensitive, or undesirable to have historic records made public which cannot be redacted.
* docs: Revise the manual `certbot` guide
- The `letsencrypt` repo that was linked early in this guide now redirects to the [Certbot repo](https://github.com/certbot/certbot).
- More explicit volume mount instruction for CertBot; the local location was a tad vague.
- Better clarified `/etc/letsencrypt/live` contents structure, as well as FQDN info. Removed the misleading `fqdn:` from `docker-compose.yml` example snippet.
* docs: Revise certbot with Docker guide
- General rewrite of the Docker Certbot section with additional tips (_renewals with automation, and using a alternative CA_).
- Generalized tone and paths in content.
- Update volume mount paths to be consistent with recent normalization effort.
- Moved some instructions into inline-comments for script examples instead.
* docs: Revise Docker with `nginx-proxy` and `acme-companion`
- Break apart into individual steps, indenting content into the step as appropriate.
- Use normalized volume paths (`docker-data/<service>/` prefix).
- `letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion` has _changed project name to `acme-companion`_, and _transferred to new maintainers and the `nginx-proxy` organization_. This also affects the DockerHub image references.
- `acme-companion` has _switched from using `simp_le` to `acme.sh`_ for provisioning certificates. This requires mounting an additional volume for persisting provisioner state.
- The dummy container (_webmail_) is no longer `library/nginx`, just [`nginx`](https://hub.docker.com/_/nginx). This container also doesn't appear to be required. I've verified that the ENV can be given to the `mailserver` service container directly. Retained for now.
* docs: Revise Docker Compose with `nginx-proxy` and `acme-companion`
Heavy rewrite of this section. Like the previous commit mentions, this content was outdated. It has been simplified with improved documentation and reference links.
It also looks like there was a mistake in the existing config example as it uses the regular `nginx` image instead of `nginx-proxy`.
- The bulk of the `mailserver` service has been removed, users are advised to have an existing `docker-compose.yml` config for `docker-mailserver` and update only what is relevant to integrate with the cert provisioner.
- `DEBUG` is _false_ by default.
- The `networks:` portion of the example appears to be taken from upstream, _which that has since dropped it_. While we could continue to document this, I consider it more of an advanced config detail that we don't need to touch on in our docs.
- The `htpasswd` volume is unnecessary, only relevant if using _"Basic Authentication"_ to protect access to web service endpoints. `conf.d/` is also not required by default, it can be useful for the `standalone` mode (_documented as a `tip`_). Remaining volumes have inline-comments to document their purpose.
- `volumes_from:` is _not supported in v3 Compose format_, _only v2_ and the Docker CLI. I did not want to advise v2, so I've duplicated the volumes between the two containers instead. Internally `acme-companion` would rely on `volumes_from:` to identify the `nginx-proxy` container, it _provides alternative discovery methods_, the label is outdated and refers the legacy label (_their script logic is the same_); using the ENV `NGINX_PROXY_CONTAINER` seemed most appropriate and has been added.
- Upstream `acme-companion` docs only cover support for v2 Compose format. _There is a note regarding `nginx-proxy`_ having _volumes configured in it's Dockerfile_. Providing a volume for `/etc/nginx/dhparam` is required to avoid creating anonymous volumes each run of `nginx-proxy`. I've used a named data volume here to make it stick out more, it's not desirable and upstream should fix this, then we can drop it.
- I've also opted to only demonstrate the _Two Container (Basic) setup_ that upstream documents. Previously our docs have been showing _`docker-gen` with the Three Container (Advanced) setup_, which allows for not having the Docker API socket attached as a volume to a container exposed to the web. This reduces the security a bit, and I have not mentioned that on our docs. I could caution the reader with a link to upstream about the risk, but I don't think we should maintain the `docker-gen` setup.
* docs(fix): Update anchor links
These mismatched the current section headers they were meant to link to.
"Brief" summary/overview of changes. See the PR discussion or individual commits from the PR for more details.

Only applies to the `docs/content/**` content (_and `setup` command_). `target/` and `test/` can be normalized at a later date.
* Normalize to `example.com`
- Domains normalized to `example.com`: `mywebserver.com`, `myserver.tld`, `domain.com`, `domain.tld`, `mydomain.net`, `my-domain.tld`, `my-domain.com`, `example.org`, `whoami.com`.
- Alternative domains normalized to `not-example.com`: `otherdomain.com`, `otherdomain.tld`, `domain2.tld`, `mybackupmx.com`, `whoareyou.org`.
- Email addresses normalized to `admin@example.com` (in `ssl.md`): `foo@bar.com`, `yourcurrentemail@gmail.com`, `email@email.com`, `admin@domain.tld`.
- Email addresses normalized to `external-account@gmail.com`: `bill@gates321boom.com`, `external@gmail.com`, `myemail@gmail.com`, `real-email-address@external-domain.com`.
- **`faq.md`:** A FAQ entry title with `sample.domain.com` changed to `subdomain.example.com`.
- **`mail-fetchmail.md`:** Config examples with FQDNs for `imap`/`pop3` used `example.com` domain for a third-party, changed to `gmail.com` as more familiar third-party/external MTA.
* Normalize config volume path
- Normalizing local config path references to `./docker-data/dms/config/`: `./config/`, `config/`, \``config`\`, `/etc/` (_volume mount src path prefix_).
- Normalize DMS volume paths to `docker-data/dms/mail-{data,state,log}`: `./mail`, `./mail-state` `./data/mail`, `./data/state`, `./data/logs`, `./data/maildata`, `./data/mailstate`, `./data/maillogs`, (_dropped/converted data volumes: `maildata`, `mailstate`_).
- Other docker images also adopt the `docker-data/{service name}/` prefix.
* `ssl.md` - Use `dms/custom-certs` where appropriate.
* Apply normalizations to README and example `docker-compose.yml`

Common terms, sometimes interchangeably used or now invalid depending on context: `mail`, `mail container`, `mail server`, `mail-server`, `mailserver`,`docker-mailserver`, `Docker Mailserver`.
Rough transformations applied to most matches (_conditionally, depending on context_):
- 'Docker Mailserver' => '`docker-mailserver`'
- 'mail container' => '`docker-mailserver`' (_optionally retaining ' container'_)
- 'mail server' => 'mail-server' / '`docker-mailserver`'
- 'mail-server' => '`docker-mailserver`'
- 'mailserver' => 'mail-server' / '`docker-mailserver`'
Additionally I checked `docker run` (_plus `exec`, `logs`, etc, sub-commands_) and `docker-compose` commands. Often finding usage of `mail` instead of the expected `mailserver`
Additionally changes `mailserver` hostname in k8s to `mail` to align with other non-k8s examples.
---
* drive-by revisions
Mostly minor revisions or improvements to docs that aren't related to normalization effort.
Initial pass for achieving more consistency with docker-compose related configs.
* Set DMS_DEBUG to 0
* align with default docker-compose.yml

This feature was originally introduced by the PR: https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/pull/1463
- Assign default DH params to use via Dockerfile build instead of copy and update at runtime.
- Parameterized service names and paths.
- Refactor postfix and dovecot dh methods to wrap shared dh logic
- I don't see any value in checking the alternative service for dh params file to copy over, so that's now dropped too.
- Another conditional check is dropped and the default fallback message for existing DH params file is no longer relevant.
- Improved the remaining `_notify` messages. Collapsing the warning into a single logged message also seemed relevant.
- There is no apparent need for special handling with `ONE_DIR=1`. Dropped it.
- Refactor DH params tests
- Combine custom and default DH param tests into single test file
- docs: Add instructions to use custom DH params
There is no official documented support for custom DH parameters. As no guarantee is provided, this is considered an internal change, not a breaking one.
* docs: SSL - Deprecate internal self-signed cert tool
We no longer support this method with `setup.sh` from v10 onwards, `SSL_TYPE=self-signed` remains supported however. Advice has been revised for users to provide their own self-signed cert or use an external tool with an example provided.
* chore: typo fix
* chore: fix docker cmd
* chore: fix link syntax
Consistency pass, formatting cleanup and fixes, introduce admonitions, add front-matter.

docs: Add front-matter

docs: Fix and format links
- Some links were invalid (eg files moved or renamed)
- Some were valid but had invalid section headers (content removed or migrated)
- Some use `http://` instead of `https://` when the website supports a secure connection.
- Some already used the `[name][reference]` convention but often with a number that wasn't as useful for maintenance.
- All referenced docs needed URLs replaced. Opted for the `[name][reference]` approach to group them all clearly at the bottom of the doc, especially with the relative URLs and in some cases many duplicate entries.
- All `tomav` references from the original repo prior to switch to an organization have been corrected.
- Minor cosmetic changes to the `name` part of the URL, such as for referencing issues to be consistent.
- Some small changes to text body, usually due to duplicate URL reference that was unnecessary (open relay, youtous)
- Switched other links to use the `[name][reference]` format when there was a large group of URLs such as wikipedia or kubernetes. Github repos that reference projects related to `docker-mailserver` also got placed here so they're noticed better by maintainers. This also helped quite a bit with `mermaid` external links that are very long.
- There was a Github Wiki supported syntax in use `[[name | link]]` for `fetchmail` page that isn't compatible by default with MkDocs (needs a plugin), converted to `[name][reference]` instead since it's a relative link.

docs: Update commit link for LDAP override script
Logic moved to another file, keeping the permalink commit reference so it's unaffected by any changes in the file referenced in future.
---
docs: Heading corrections
Consistency pass. Helps with the Table of Contents (top-right UI) aka Document Outline.
docs: codefence cleanup
---
docs: misc cleanup
---
docs: Add Admonitions
Switches `<details>` usage for collapsible admonitions (`???`) while other text content is switched to the visually more distinct admoniton (`!!!` or `???+`) style.
This does affect editor syntax highlighting a bit and markdown linting as it's custom non-standard markdown syntax.
