How to use it

Preparation

• have a key pair in your ~/.ssh/ folder. e.g. id_smtp and id_smtp.pub
• have a cloudflare zone for the domain that will be used for this email server (optional)
• generate a token from your digitalocean account to be used on api access by the install script
• get cloudflare token from your cloudflare account to be used on api access by the install script (optional)
• git clone https://github.com/rubentrancoso/mailserver-quicksetup.git
• cd mailserver-quicksetup
• change PARAMETERS file accordingly

Installation (10min)

first part runs from a mac and uses brew (should be changed to run from another platforms)

# ./install (will create a droplet if it does not exists or rebuild an existing one)

folow the next 2 prompts.

done.

Unable to be automated

• ask digitalocean to open port 25

Missing steps (and TODOs)

1. Enter de generated token to the container.

2. Is certificate renew already automated?

3. Check why port 80 is not redirecting to ssl on postfixadmin

4. generate keys automatically (optional)
