<h1>SSL/TLS</h1>
<p>There are multiple options to enable SSL (via <a href="../../environment/#ssl_type"><code>SSL_TYPE</code></a>):</p>
<ul>
<li>Using <a href="#lets-encrypt-recommended">letsencrypt</a> (recommended)</li>
<li>Using <a href="#caddy">Caddy</a></li>
<li>Using <a href="#traefik">Traefik</a></li>
<li>Using <a href="#self-signed-certificates-testing-only">self-signed certificates</a></li>
<li>Using <a href="#custom-certificate-files">your own certificates</a></li>
</ul>
<p>After installation, you can test your setup with:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.checktls.com/TestReceiver"><code>checktls.com</code></a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/drwetter/testssl.sh"><code>testssl.sh</code></a></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="lets-encrypt-recommended"><a class="toclink" href="#lets-encrypt-recommended">Let's Encrypt (Recommended)</a></h2>
<p>To enable Let's Encrypt for <code>docker-mailserver</code>, you have to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Get your certificate using <a href="https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt">letsencrypt client</a></li>
<li>Add an environment variable <code>SSL_TYPE</code> with value <code>letsencrypt</code> (see <a href="https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/blob/master/docker-compose.yml"><code>docker-compose.yml</code></a>)</li>
<li>Mount your whole <code>letsencrypt</code> folder to <code>/etc/letsencrypt</code></li>
<li>
<p>The certs folder name located in <code>letsencrypt/live/</code> must be the <code>fqdn</code> of your container responding to the <code>hostname</code> command. The <code>fqdn</code> (full qualified domain name) inside the docker container is built combining the <code>hostname</code> and <code>domainname</code> values of the <code>docker-compose</code> file, eg:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="nt">services</span><span class="p">:</span>
<span class="nt">mailserver</span><span class="p">:</span>
<span class="nt">hostname</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">mail</span>
<span class="nt">domainname</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">example.com</span>
<span class="nt">fqdn</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">mail.example.com</span>
</code></pre></div>
</li>
</ul>
<p>You don't have anything else to do. Enjoy.</p>
<h3 id="example-using-docker-for-lets-encrypt"><a class="toclink" href="#example-using-docker-for-lets-encrypt">Example using Docker for Let's Encrypt</a></h3>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Make a directory to store your letsencrypt logs and configs. In my case:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>mkdir -p /home/ubuntu/docker/letsencrypt
<span class="nb">cd</span> /home/ubuntu/docker/letsencrypt
</code></pre></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Now get the certificate (modify <code>mail.example.com</code>) and following the certbot instructions.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>This will need access to port 80 from the internet, adjust your firewall if needed:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>docker run --rm -it <span class="se">\</span>
-v <span class="nv">$PWD</span>/log/:/var/log/letsencrypt/ <span class="se">\</span>
-v <span class="nv">$PWD</span>/etc/:/etc/letsencrypt/ <span class="se">\</span>
-p <span class="m">80</span>:80 <span class="se">\</span>
certbot/certbot certonly --standalone -d mail.example.com
</code></pre></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>You can now mount <code>/home/ubuntu/docker/letsencrypt/etc/</code> in <code>/etc/letsencrypt</code> of <code>docker-mailserver</code>.</p>
<p>To renew your certificate just run (this will need access to port 443 from the internet, adjust your firewall if needed):</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>docker run --rm -it <span class="se">\</span>
-v <span class="nv">$PWD</span>/log/:/var/log/letsencrypt/ <span class="se">\</span>
-v <span class="nv">$PWD</span>/etc/:/etc/letsencrypt/ <span class="se">\</span>
-p <span class="m">80</span>:80 <span class="se">\</span>
-p <span class="m">443</span>:443 <span class="se">\</span>
certbot/certbot renew
</code></pre></div>
</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="example-using-docker-nginx-proxy-and-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion"><a class="toclink" href="#example-using-docker-nginx-proxy-and-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion">Example using Docker, <code>nginx-proxy</code> and <code>letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion</code></a></h3>
<p>If you are running a web server already, it is non-trivial to generate a Let's Encrypt certificate for your <code>docker-mailserver</code> using <code>certbot</code>, because port 80 is already occupied. In the following example, we show how <code>docker-mailserver</code> can be run alongside the docker containers <code>nginx-proxy</code> and <code>letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion</code>.</p>
<p>There are several ways to start <code>nginx-proxy</code> and <code>letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion</code>. Any method should be suitable here.</p>
<p>For example start <code>nginx-proxy</code> as in the <code>letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion</code> <a href="https://github.com/JrCs/docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion">documentation</a>:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>docker run --detach <span class="se">\</span>
--name nginx-proxy <span class="se">\</span>
--restart always <span class="se">\</span>
--publish <span class="m">80</span>:80 <span class="se">\</span>
--publish <span class="m">443</span>:443 <span class="se">\</span>
--volume /server/letsencrypt/etc:/etc/nginx/certs:ro <span class="se">\</span>
--volume /etc/nginx/vhost.d <span class="se">\</span>
--volume /usr/share/nginx/html <span class="se">\</span>
--volume /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro <span class="se">\</span>
jwilder/nginx-proxy
</code></pre></div>
<p>Then start <code>nginx-proxy-letsencrypt</code>:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>docker run --detach <span class="se">\</span>
--name nginx-proxy-letsencrypt <span class="se">\</span>
--restart always <span class="se">\</span>
--volume /server/letsencrypt/etc:/etc/nginx/certs:rw <span class="se">\</span>
--volumes-from nginx-proxy <span class="se">\</span>
--volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro <span class="se">\</span>
jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion
</code></pre></div>
<p>Start the rest of your web server containers as usual.</p>
<p>Start another container for your <code>mail.example.com</code>. This will generate a Let's Encrypt certificate for your domain, which can be used by <code>docker-mailserver</code>. It will also run a web server on port 80 at that address:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>docker run -d <span class="se">\</span>
--name webmail <span class="se">\</span>
-e <span class="s2">&quot;VIRTUAL_HOST=mail.example.com&quot;</span> <span class="se">\</span>
-e <span class="s2">&quot;LETSENCRYPT_HOST=mail.example.com&quot;</span> <span class="se">\</span>
-e <span class="s2">&quot;LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=admin@example.com&quot;</span> <span class="se">\</span>
library/nginx
</code></pre></div>
<p>You may want to add <code>-e LETSENCRYPT_TEST=true</code> to the above while testing to avoid the Let's Encrypt certificate generation rate limits.</p>
<p>Make sure your mount path to the letsencrypt certificates is correct. Edit your <code>/path/to/mailserver/docker-compose.yml</code> for the <code>mailserver</code> service to have volumes added like the example below:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="nt">volumes</span><span class="p">:</span>
<span class="p p-Indicator">-</span> <span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">./docker-data/dms/mail-data/:/var/mail/</span>
<span class="p p-Indicator">-</span> <span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">./docker-data/dms/mail-state/:/var/mail-state/</span>
<span class="p p-Indicator">-</span> <span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">./docker-data/dms/config/:/tmp/docker-mailserver/</span>
<span class="p p-Indicator">-</span> <span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">/server/letsencrypt/etc:/etc/letsencrypt/live</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>Then from the <code>docker-compose.yml</code> directory, run: <code>docker-compose up -d mailserver</code>.</p>

<p>The following <code>docker-compose.yml</code> is the basic setup you need for using <code>letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion</code>. It is mainly derived from its own wiki/documenation.</p>

<p><code>docker-mailserver</code> needs to have the letsencrypt certificate folder mounted as a volume. No further changes are needed. The second container is a dummy-sidecar we need, because the mail-container do not expose any web-ports. Set your ENV variables as you need. (<code>VIRTUAL_HOST</code> and <code>LETSENCRYPT_HOST</code> are mandandory, see documentation)</p>

<p>Version 6.2 and later of the Synology NAS DSM OS now come with an interface to generate and renew letencrypt certificates. Navigation into your DSM control panel and go to Security, then click on the tab Certificate to generate and manage letsencrypt certificates.</p>
<p>Amongst other things, you can use these to secure your mail-server. DSM locates the generated certificates in a folder below <code>/usr/syno/etc/certificate/_archive/</code>.</p>
<p>Navigate to that folder and note the 6 character random folder name of the certificate you'd like to use. Then, add the following to your <code>docker-compose.yml</code> declaration file:</p>

<p>DSM-generated letsencrypt certificates get auto-renewed every three months.</p>
<h2 id="caddy"><a class="toclink" href="#caddy">Caddy</a></h2>
<p>If you are using Caddy to renew your certificates, please note that only RSA certificates work. Read <a href="https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/issues/1440">#1440</a> for details. In short for Caddy v1 the <code>Caddyfile</code> should look something like:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>https://mail.example.com {
tls admin@example.com {
key_type rsa2048
}
}
</code></pre></div>
<p>For Caddy v2 you can specify the <code>key_type</code> in your server's global settings, which would end up looking something like this if you're using a <code>Caddyfile</code>:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>{
debug
admin localhost:2019
http_port 80
https_port 443
default_sni example.com
key_type rsa4096
}
</code></pre></div>
<p>If you are instead using a json config for Caddy v2, you can set it in your site's TLS automation policies:</p>

<p><a href="https://github.com/containous/traefik">Traefik</a> is an open-source application proxy using the <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8555">ACME protocol</a>. <a href="https://github.com/containous/traefik">Traefik</a> can request certificates for domains and subdomains, and it will take care of renewals, challenge negotiations, etc. We strongly recommend to use <a href="https://github.com/containous/traefik">Traefik</a>'s major version 2.</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/containous/traefik">Traefik</a>'s storage format is natively supported if the <code>acme.json</code> store is mounted into the container at <code>/etc/letsencrypt/acme.json</code>. The file is also monitored for changes and will trigger a reload of the mail services (Postfix and Dovecot). Wild card certificates issued for <code>*.example.com</code> are supported. You will then want to use <code class="highlight"><span class="nv">SSL_DOMAIN</span><span class="o">=</span>example.com</code>. Lookup of the certificate domain happens in the following order:</p>
<ol>
<li><code class="highlight"><span class="si">${</span><span class="nv">SSL_DOMAIN</span><span class="si">}</span></code></li>
<li><code class="highlight"><span class="si">${</span><span class="nv">HOSTNAME</span><span class="si">}</span></code></li>
<li><code class="highlight"><span class="si">${</span><span class="nv">DOMAINNAME</span><span class="si">}</span></code></li>
</ol>
<p>This setup only comes with one caveat: The domain has to be configured on another service for <a href="https://github.com/containous/traefik">Traefik</a> to actually request it from Let'sEncrypt, i.e. <a href="https://github.com/containous/traefik">Traefik</a> will not issue a certificate without a service / router demanding it.</p>

<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>
<p>Use self-signed certificates only for testing purposes!</p>
</div>
<p>This feature requires you to provide the following files into your <a href="../../advanced/optional-config/"><code>docker-data/dms/config/ssl/</code> directory</a> (<em>internal location: <code>/tmp/docker-mailserver/ssl/</code></em>):</p>
<ul>
<li><code>&lt;FQDN&gt;-key.pem</code></li>
<li><code>&lt;FQDN&gt;-cert.pem</code></li>
<li><code>demoCA/cacert.pem</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Where <code>&lt;FQDN&gt;</code> is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_qualified_domain_name">FQDN</a> assigned to <code>docker-mailserver</code> (<em>eg: <code>mail.example.com</code> (FQDN) =&gt; <code>mail</code> (hostname) + <code>example.com</code> (domainname)</em>) via <code>docker run</code> command or <code>docker-compose.yml</code> config.</p>
<p>Add <code>SSL_TYPE=self-signed</code> to your <code>docker-mailserver</code> environment variables. Postfix and Dovecot will be configured to use the provided certificate (<em><code>.pem</code> files above</em>) during container startup.</p>

<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>Since <code>docker-mailserver</code> v10, support in <code>setup.sh</code> for generating a <em>self-signed SSL certificate</em> internally was removed.</p>
</div>
<p>One way to generate self-signed certificates is with <a href="https://smallstep.com/docs/step-cli">Smallstep's <code>step</code> CLI</a>. This is exactly what <a href="https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/blob/3b8059f2daca80d967635e04d8d81e9abb755a4d/test/test-files/ssl/example.test/README.md"><code>docker-mailserver</code> does for creating test certificates</a>.</p>
<p>For example with the FQDN <code>mail.example.test</code>, you can generate the required files by running:</p>

<p>If you'd rather not install the CLI tool locally to run the <code>step</code> commands above; you can save the script above to a file such as <code>generate-certs.sh</code> (<em>and make it executable <code>chmod +x generate-certs.sh</code></em>) in a directory that you want the certs to be placed (eg: <code>docker-data/dms/custom-certs/</code>), then use docker to run that script in a container:</p>

<h2 id="bring-your-own-certificates"><a class="toclink" href="#bring-your-own-certificates">Bring Your Own Certificates</a></h2>
<p>You can also provide your own certificate files. Add these entries to your <code>docker-compose.yml</code>:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="nt">volumes</span><span class="p">:</span>
<span class="p p-Indicator">-</span> <span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">./docker-data/dms/custom-certs/:/tmp/dms/custom-certs/:ro</span>

<span class="p p-Indicator">-</span> <span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">SSL_KEY_PATH=/tmp/dms/custom-certs/private.key</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>This will mount the path where your certificate files reside locally into the <em>read-only</em> container folder: <code>/tmp/dms/custom-certs</code>.</p>
<p>The local and internal paths may be whatever you prefer, so long as both <code>SSL_CERT_PATH</code> and <code>SSL_KEY_PATH</code> point to the correct internal file paths. The certificate files may also be named to your preference, but should be PEM encoded.</p>
<p><code>SSL_ALT_CERT_PATH</code> and <code>SSL_ALT_KEY_PATH</code> are additional ENV vars to support a 2nd certificate as a fallback. Commonly known as hybrid or dual certificate support. This is useful for using a modern ECDSA as your primary certificate, and RSA as your fallback for older connections. They work in the same manner as the non-<code>ALT</code> versions.</p>
<div class="admonition info">

<p>These options in conjunction mean:</p>

<li>The client is allowed to login with plaintext authentication even when SSL/TLS isn't enabled on the connection.</li>

</ul>
<h2 id="importing-certificates-obtained-via-another-source"><a class="toclink" href="#importing-certificates-obtained-via-another-source">Importing Certificates Obtained via Another Source</a></h2>
<p>If you have another source for SSL/TLS certificates you can import them into the server via an external script. The external script can be found here: <a href="https://github.com/hanscees/dockerscripts/blob/master/scripts/tomav-renew-certs">external certificate import script</a>.</p>
<div class="admonition attention">
<p class="admonition-title">Only compatible with <code>docker-mailserver</code> releases &lt; <code>v10.2</code></p>
<p>The script expects <code>/etc/postfix/ssl/cert</code> and <code>/etc/postfix/ssl/key</code> files to be configured paths for both Postfix and Dovecot to use.</p>
<p>Since the <code>docker-mailserver</code> 10.2 release, certificate files have moved to <code>/etc/dms/tls/</code>, and the file name may differ depending on provisioning method.</p>
<p>This third-party script also has <code>fullchain.pem</code> and <code>privkey.pem</code> as hard-coded, thus is incompatible with other filenames.</p>
<p>Additionally it has never supported handling <code>ALT</code> fallback certificates (for supporting dual/hybrid, RSA + ECDSA).</p>
</div>
<p>The steps to follow are these:</p>
<ol>
<li>Transfer the new certificates to <code>./docker-data/dms/custom-certs/</code> (volume mounted to: <code>/tmp/ssl/</code>)</li>
<li>You should provide <code>fullchain.key</code> and <code>privkey.pem</code></li>
<li>Place the script in <code>./docker-data/dms/config/</code> (volume mounted to: <code>/tmp/docker-mailserver/</code>)</li>
<li>Make the script executable (<code>chmod +x tomav-renew-certs.sh</code>)</li>
<li>Run the script: <code>docker exec mailserver /tmp/docker-mailserver/tomav-renew-certs.sh</code></li>
</ol>
<p>If an error occurs the script will inform you. If not you will see both postfix and dovecot restart.</p>
<p>After the certificates have been loaded you can check the certificate:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>openssl s_client <span class="se">\</span>
-servername mail.example.com <span class="se">\</span>
-connect <span class="m">192</span>.168.0.72:465 <span class="se">\</span>
<span class="m">2</span>&gt;/dev/null <span class="p">|</span> openssl x509
<span class="c1"># or</span>
openssl s_client <span class="se">\</span>
-servername mail.example.com <span class="se">\</span>
-connect mail.example.com:465 <span class="se">\</span>
<span class="m">2</span>&gt;/dev/null <span class="p">|</span> openssl x509
</code></pre></div>
<p>Or you can check how long the new certificate is valid with commands like:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="nb">export</span> <span class="nv">SITE_URL</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">&quot;mail.example.com&quot;</span>

<p>What does the script that imports the certificates do:</p>
<ol>
<li>Check if there are new certs in the internal container folder: <code>/tmp/ssl</code>.</li>
<li>Check with the ssl cert fingerprint if they differ from the current certificates.</li>
<li>If so it will copy the certs to the right places.</li>
<li>And restart postfix and dovecot.</li>
</ol>
<p>You can of course run the script by cron once a week or something. In that way you could automate cert renewal. If you do so it is probably wise to run an automated check on certificate expiry as well. Such a check could look something like this:</p>

<h2 id="custom-dh-parameters"><a class="toclink" href="#custom-dh-parameters">Custom DH Parameters</a></h2>
<p>By default <code>docker-mailserver</code> uses <a href="https://github.com/internetstandards/dhe_groups"><code>ffdhe4096</code></a> from <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7919">IETF RFC 7919</a>.

It is <a href="https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/29926/what-diffie-hellman-parameters-should-i-use">discouraged to generate your own DH parameters</a> as it is often less secure.</p>
<p>Despite this, if you must use non-standard DH parameters or you would like to swap <code>ffdhe4096</code> for a different group (eg <code>ffdhe2048</code>); Add your own PEM encoded DH params file via a volume to <code>/tmp/docker-mailserver/dhparams.pem</code>. This will replace DH params for both Dovecot and Postfix services during container startup.</p>
