Roundcube and docker-mailserver (Docker Mailserver) on the same VPS
Consider installing Mailu instead, which is a single Docker container with a full mail server and Roundcube on top. Very easy to install.

Mail-in-a-Box: a mail server in a box
I've been using Mailu (https://mailu.io/) for years and have had no problems. I love that it has the concept of domain admins so that people can manage mailboxes for their own domains. DNS isn't automatic, but meh. Upgrading is easy (Docker + automatic migrations).

How to create my own SMTP Server with my own domain?
Mailu. It’s a docker image that has the whole email system pretty much all done for you. If you don’t know docker, learn it it’s well worth it.

Trying to set up mailu docker
So as the title says, I'm trying to set up a dockerized mailu server. I've done the docker compose setup from the mailu.io site, except it doesn't seem to work and I'm not exactly sure why. I'm guessing I'm just not entering in some information correctly, but I don't know for sure. One thing I know I'm not sure on is the db url and what exactly is it supposed to be. I don't remember the exact error I'm getting, as I'm not in front of my computer at the moment, but I do know it was the admin container that wasn't working properly. Either that or I don't have my DNS set up correctly.

Domains and Email hosting
You can self host email if you really want to, but it's really more trouble than it's worth. If you do self host, you have to worry about the consequences of missed emails if your server or Internet ever goes down, and you'll have to use someone else's SMTP server if you don't want your emails to go directly to spam. The cheapest good SMTP server is Amazon SES, which I believe is $0.10 per 10k emails. I've been looking into mailcow for self hosting an email server and it seems the best way to go.

Ok, I've migrated email to selfhosted
However, https://mailcow.email/ is the ONLY exclusion I make for that. As it's an all in one docker managed solution. Where the only things you have to worry about is the reputation of your mailing IP.

Any self hosted disposable email address generators?
But its probably easier to use a dockerized container with all the mail stuff integrated and pre-setup like: https://mailcow.email/
