Davmail running inside docker

Primary LanguageShell

davmail-docker

Davmail running inside docker.

Do you trust Java? Me either. Use this docker container to run davmail locally and connect to your Exchange email provider.

Usage

The following usage instructions assumes Docker >= 0.5.3 and your running user in the docker system group (to prevent needed sudo usage).

Create your davmail config file, you can find a sample on the davmail site. Ports here need to match the ports in the Dockerfile, or you will need to open your own ports during the docker run.

$ mkdir ~/.davmail
$ vi ~/.davmail/davmail.properties #enter your davmail config here

You can either clone this and build your own image, or use my image created from this Dockerfile.

To use the image:

$ docker pull gimoh/davmail
$ # exposing a system port is deprecated and must be done at the command
$ # line now as of 0.6.6
$ docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:1025:1025 -p <ip>:<hostport>:<containerport> -v ~/.davmail:/etc/davmail gimoh/davmail

To tweak and build your own:

$ docker build .
$ docker run -d <imageid>
