Dovecot: Custom module list #3295

Open raoulbhatia opened 4 years ago

raoulbhatia commented 4 years ago

I'd like to configure a different set of dovecot plugins, i.e. disable zlib. The plugins are AFAICS hard-coded into the Docker container via the docker-entrypoint.sh script, see https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized/blob/master/data/Dockerfiles/dovecot/docker-entrypoint.sh#L88

My current solution is to use a custom Dockerfile that deploys a customized docker-entrypoint.sh. However, this requires manual maintenance as there is no "mailcow/dovecot:latest" tag that I can FROM in my Dockerfile and I needed to patch docker-compose.yaml to use my custom image (i.e. image: raoulbhatia/dovecot:1.108). This breaks the regular update flow when the mailcow Docker image is updated.

I assume there is a better solutions to my use case. For example, I can think about modifying generate_config.sh to put override the module by placing files into ./data/conf/dovecot/.

Kindly advise if this sounds reasonable, or if you would suggest another approach.

Hi,

Thank you, I will flag it as FR and try to implement it.

You could also begin using a docker-compose.override file and specify your own Dockerfile. Then you don't need to edit the org file.

Thanks for the hint - docker-compose.override.yml makes my life much easier! :-)

Thanks, @andryyy. Let me know if I can be of any help. If generate_config.sh is OK, then I would also see if/when I can find some time to implement a solution & PR for your review. Please let me know if you'd go a different route.
