For big mail databases we needed to move the mailstore onto some external volume, while keeping the other docker volumes on fast NVME. Here a docker-compose.override.yml file comes in handy, to specify that the vmail volume is an external one.
In order to deploy a (any) customized docker-compose.override.yml file, we added a parameter mailcow__docker_compose_override_file to specify an external file to the mailcow.mailcow role. If the parameter is set, the file will be copied as docker-compose.override.yml into the mailcow__install_path.
If the parameter is not given, the role behaves just as before. Of course the override file can be used to implement any desired customization. To use the parameter something like {{playbook_dir}} comes in handy, e.g.:
