Greetings, you would not need to store these configurations outside of the container because the image will be created with the needed configurations. If you need to tweak something directly on the system you are not following best practices. It would be wise to follow best practices and have the data container focus on only the data and to have the base image focus the scripts and configurations needed for accessing the data container.

I have forked this repo here and started to improve the build process. I have linked the connected needed data containers inside a Makefile

The IMAP server instance has also been updated to use supervisor so it can stay running on a CoreOS cluster. More improvements will come in response to the community needs.

Please have a look at the updates and see if this will work for you.
