Run Mailarchiva, the email archiving, e-discovery, compliance and forensics platform that helps to retain, organize and mine email data in Docker!
The existing projects, which try to run Mailarchiva as a Docker container, are outdated and not working any more. I also disliked that they all tried to mimic the traditional on premise installation which is not necessary for a Tomcat application.
That's why I created this project.
