docker-autocompose VS Mailu

But there is this little tool docker-autocompose that can read the configuration of your current containers and export that into a docker-compose.yml. It probably wont work 100% perfect for every possible container config, but its worth a try and it might save a lot of time when making the switch from run to compose. Good luck!

You can try to use docker-autocompose to read the configs of your currently deployed containers and write them into a compose file for you.

There are different registries, Docker Hub, Quay (quay.io), GitHub (ghcr.io), Linuxserver (lscr.io). Then there is the image name and then the tag (//:; for example lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest). The tag and the registry won't matter too much for you (tag I guess you use latest), because most maintainers like Linuxserver push the same image to different registries. So it doesn't really matter if you use lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest or just linuxserver/plex:latest or ghcr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest. What does matter is if you use the linxserver or the plexinc image. If you run docker container ls in your terminal, you can see which image you are using. You could then run docker container inspect to get a json config of your plex container and volume mounts etc. to use that to create a docker compose file for it. There are also tools that do that automatically for you, like this: https://github.com/Red5d/docker-autocompose/blob/master/README.md This way, you can use docker compose to start/stop/update and have a permanent config which you can easily migrate to a new NAS/server.

I converted existing docker run via https://www.composerize.com/ (since I had them written down in text file) , you can also use https://github.com/Red5d/docker-autocompose (examples on very bottom) to convert existing containers to YML file.

Consider installing Mailu instead, which is a single Docker container with a full mail server and Roundcube on top. Very easy to install.

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).

Mailu is pretty solid for personal use and is lighter on memory than Mailcow

While hosting mail isn't easy, Mailu and similar projects make it way easier than it used to be.

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.

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.
