Email application based on IndieHosters network.
- docker
- docker-compose
Modify the following files:
- copy
env.templatetodata/config/envand modify it (MYSQL_PASSWORD and DB_ENV_MYSQL_PASSWORD are the same password)
Add the following files:
- data/config/TLS/chain.pem
- data/config/TLS/cert.pem
- data/config/TLS/ssl_certificate.pem
- data/config/TLS/ssl_private_key.pem
If they do not exist a self signed certificate will be created.
./create.sh hostname
Everything should be up and running.
If HTTPS should run on a different port add it as a second argument:
./create.sh hostname 8443
To backup, just run the BACKUP in your folder, supplying a target path and password. This will create an encrypted duplicity backup.
./BACKUP /some/target/path super-secure-password
./LIST_BACKUPS /some/target/path
To restore the latest backup:
./RESTORE /some/target/path super-secure-password now
To restore a specific date list them with LIST_BACKUPS. Example result:
Number of contained backup sets: 2
Total number of contained volumes: 3
Type of backup set: Time: Num volumes:
Full Thu Jan 5 14:07:57 2017 2
Incremental Thu Jan 5 14:35:49 2017 1
To restore the FULL backup in this example, run:
./RESTORE /some/target/path super-secure-password 2017-01-05T14:07:57
