Persistance - what volumes? #17

Closed fliespl closed 1 year ago

fliespl commented 1 year ago

I can't find example as to which directories should be volumes to mount to server to keep message queue in case of restart.

Could this be added to documentation?

Never even thought about this, since this is the "standard" Debian exim4 installation.

The spool folder is /var/spool/exim4, the UID/GID 101 and the default permissions on the folder 0750. This is, assuming the user hasn't changed the location via a configuration file.

@tlex Thank you for quick response. I am thinking...

Wouldn't it be a good idea to provide predefined VOLUME instruction in dockerfile the same way as mysql does for /var/lib/mysql or redis for /data?

Just thinking out loud :)

Your suggestion completely went unnoticed in my inbox.

I'm more than happy to accept a pull/merge request for this :slightly_smiling_face:
