inbucket VS Mailu

Longtime mailhog user here; this looks like a nice improvement for cold start developer environments! Another option in the same space (emphasis container size) is https://github.com/inbucket/inbucket

inbucket is what you need

yeah, it is still helpful. But I was also recommended to play with mailhog or https://github.com/inbucket/inbucket

https://inbucket.org/ is very easy to host, does not require you to setup mailboxes, does not require any sort of database, has a built in webmail interface, and you can also grab via POP3 if you want to use a traditional mail client.

If all you need is a system to receive SMTP mail and read the messages via web GUI then inbucket is probably the easiest solution.

Will have to play around with GitHub pages settings, looks like https://www.inbucket.org/ is the workaround for now

I run https://www.inbucket.org/ at home. I wrote it, so I'm biased, but it works well for me. ;)

This is what you need inbucket

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 on a cheap VPS: https://mailu.io

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.
