The original idea was the development of a containerized mail setup, that was easy to manage and easy to deploy.
However, while testing and researching various stuff, I could not find easy solutions to all kind of problems. Furthermore, there are already several projects that do provide similar functionalities.
New Focus of the Repository
The ISPmail guide was the original blueprint for the desired mail setup. However, quite early during development, some things were changed, e.g. ditching the use of a SQL database for alias, mailbox and domain management.
However: As the need for containerization ceased (mostly inside of myself), going bare metal (or whatever you will call it on a VPS) brings database topic back into question, as the overall server will require a database server in any case.
Having said this: This repository is now intended to provide a ready to go configuration template, so that the mail service (inlcuding Postfix, Dovecot, ...) can be implemented with very little effort.
Everything HTTP-related, including the webmail interface and the generation/renewal of SSL certificates will be skipped aswell.
