# docker-mailserver with ssl
|
|
|
|
There are multiple options to enable SSL:
|
|
|
|
* using [letsencrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) (recommended)
|
|
* using self-signed certificates with the provided tool
|
|
|
|
After installation, you can test your setup with [checktls.com](https://www.checktls.com/TestReceiver).
|
|
|
|
## let's encrypt (recommended)
|
|
|
|
To enable Let's Encrypt on your mail server, you have to:
|
|
|
|
* get your certificate using [letsencrypt client](https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt)
|
|
* add an environment variable `DMS_SSL` with value `letsencrypt` (see `docker-compose.yml.dist`)
|
|
* mount your `letsencrypt` folder to `/etc/letsencrypt`
|
|
* the folder name must be the `fqdn` that is passed as `-h` argument (or concatenation of `hostname` and `domainname` is you are using `docker-compose`)
|
|
|
|
You don't have anything else to do. Enjoy.
|
|
|
|
## self signed certificates
|
|
|
|
You can easily generate a self-signed SSL certificate by using the following command:
|
|
|
|
docker run -ti --rm -v "$(pwd)"/postfix/ssl:/ssl -h mail.my-domain.com -t tvial/docker-mailserver generate-ssl-certificate
|
|
|
|
# Press enter
|
|
# Enter a password when needed
|
|
# Fill information like Country, Organisation name
|
|
# Fill "my-domain.com" as FQDN for CA, and "mail.my-domain.com" for the certificate.
|
|
# They HAVE to be different, otherwise you'll get a `TXT_DB error number 2`
|
|
# Don't fill extras
|
|
# Enter same password when needed
|
|
# Sign the certificate? [y/n]:y
|
|
# 1 out of 1 certificate requests certified, commit? [y/n]y
|
|
|
|
# will generate:
|
|
# postfix/ssl/mail.my-domain.com-key.pem (used in postfix)
|
|
# postfix/ssl/mail.my-domain.com-req.pem (only used to generate other files)
|
|
# postfix/ssl/mail.my-domain.com-cert.pem (used in postfix)
|
|
# postfix/ssl/mail.my-domain.com-combined.pem (used in courier)
|
|
# postfix/ssl/demoCA/cacert.pem (certificate authority)
|
|
|
|
Note that the certificate will be generate for the container `fqdn`, that is passed as `-h` argument.
|
|
Check the following page for more information regarding [postfix and SSL/TLS configuration](http://www.mad-hacking.net/documentation/linux/applications/mail/using-ssl-tls-postfix-courier.xml).
|
|
|
|
To use the certificate:
|
|
|
|
* add an `DMS_SSL=self-signed` to your container environment variables
|
|
* if a matching certificate (files listed above) is found in `postfix/ssl`, it will be automatically setup in postfix and courier-imap-ssl. You just have to place them in `postfix/ssl` folder.
|
|
|
|
### Testing certificate
|
|
|
|
From your host:
|
|
|
|
docker exec mail openssl s_client -connect 0.0.0.0:587 -starttls smtp -CApath /etc/ssl/certs/
|
|
|
|
And you should see the certificate chain, the server certificate and:

|
|
|
Verify return code: 0 (ok) |
