  • Notification in CheckMK in a container

    Hi! I have setup Checkmk in a docker container and most everything is working well. I want to be able to receive notifications through email and I am experimenting on how to get this working with Postfix. I have a postfix docker container GitHub - juanluisbaptiste/docker-postfix: Simple SMTP relay docker image. running with the following options: 359ff65a2503 juanluisbaptiste/postfix “/run.sh” 19 hours ago Up 19 hours 0.0.0.0:49153->25/tcp, :::49153->25/tcp postfix

    If all I needed was SMTP? I'd likely just use Amazon SES or Mailgun.

    I know some folks have concerns with the privacy of that(1), and really want to run their own SMTP. If that's the case, Mail In A Box can do the job, or you can go with a pure SMTP solution like https://github.com/ix-ai/smtp (not endorsing it -- it's just been on my radar) or a roll-your-own Postfix/Exim solution. The latter requires almost zero resources after it's set up; slap it on a $20/year VM and you're done.

    1. Chasing privacy with email is a chimera. If you really want private communications, email is not the tool.
