Obtaining the Docker image

To pull the latest pre-built image of wildduck from docker hub:

docker pull nodemailer/wildduck

It is also possible to pull a specific version of wildduck by specifying the version as the image tag. (example, for version 1.20):

docker pull nodemailer/wildduck:1.20

Environment variables in the Docker image

The following docker env variables are available inside the container:

1. WILDDUCK_APPDIR: The folder where wildduck is installed inside the container
2. WILDDUCK_CONFIG: Path to the config file to be used with wildduck
3. CMD_ARGS: Any additional cmd options to pass to wildduck running inside the docker container

Running wildduck using Docker

The image is configured to use the default config file

docker run nodemailer/wildduck

This is likely to fail due to mongodb and redis not present in localhost inside the container. To pass custom configuration options/files to wildduck inside the docker image, the following two strategies can be used:

1. Pass CMD_ARGS to configure options using wild-config

   To set a custom mongo and redis host, and configure the FQDN and the domain for receiving emails:

   FQDN='example.com'
   MAIL_DOMAIN='mail.example.com'
   docker run --env CMD_ARGS="\
   --dbs.mongo=mongodb://mongo:27017/ \
   --dbs.redis=redis://redis:6379/3 \
   --smtp.setup.hostname=$FQDN \
   --log.gelf.hostname=$FQDN \
   --imap.setup.hostname=$FQDN \
   --emailDomain=$MAIL_DOMAIN" \
   nodemailer/wildduck 
   

   More details available at the wild-config documentation.

2. Mount a Docker volume with a custom configuration file:

   To replace the default config folder (/wildduck/config) inside the docker image

   docker run -v '/config/from/host:/wildduck/config' nodemailer/wildduck
