## About
|
|
|
|
`docker-mailserver`, or DMS for short, is a production-ready fullstack but simple mail server (SMTP, IMAP, LDAP, Anti-spam, Anti-virus, etc.). It employs only configuration files, no SQL database. The image is focused around the slogan "Keep it simple and versioned".

### Getting Started
|
|
|
|
If you're completely new to mail servers or you want to read up on them, check out our [_Introduction_ page][docs-introduction]. If you're new to DMS as a mail server appliance, make sure to read the [_Usage_ chapter][docs-usage] first. If you want to look at examples for Docker Compose, we have an [_Examples_ page][docs-examples].
|
|
|
|
There is also a script - [`setup.sh`][github-file-setupsh] - supplied with this project. It supports you in configuring and administrating your server. Information on how to get it and how to use it is available [on a dedicated page][docs-setupsh].

### Configuration
|
|
|
|
We have a [dedicated configuration page][docs-environment]. It contains most of the configuration and explanation you need to setup _your_ mail server properly. Be aware that advanced tasks may still require reading through all parts of this documentation; it may also involve inspecting your running container for debugging purposes. After all, a mail server is a complex arrangement of various programs.

|
|
|
If you'd like to change, patch or alter files or behavior of DMS, you can use a script. Just place a script called `user-patches.sh` in your `./docker-data/dms/config/` folder volume (which is mounted to `/tmp/docker-mailserver/` inside the container) and it will be run on container startup. See the ['Modifications via Script' page][docs-userpatches] for additional documentation and an example.
