What does your current docker-compose.yml file look like?
I'll let you know once it installs. I've already started a fresh ground-up install.

Yeah I know there's a default, I didn't know if he had changed it at all.

I had not, the default didn't work so I wasn't looking to modify it yet.

ok. Let me spin up a system with docker and compose. I've been using podman so I don't have the tools on my laptop.

I was able to proxy through NGINX after running
docker-compose up -d. I didn't use HTTPS because I'm lazy but it passed HTTP fine. -
It's just a simple config to test (again because I'm lazy):

Great, glad to hear that that works. I'll be testing it more once I see if it comes up at all. The first time it didn't at all, so you are two steps farther than we got

Let me know if you have issues and I'll make a video for you

I have been running Mailcow for a little while, been testing and playing about with it. I'm quite impressed how it's all been put together. I would love to hear how many mailboxes people are running this in production.
Not using a reverse proxy on mine though.

Been a while, and now it is a different project. This time for a customer. But we have MailCow up and running now and behind an Nginx proxy in a datacenter. Working great so far.

Using Docker?

Is there any other way? MailCow appears to be 100% dependent on Docker.

I don't know of any other way which is why I asked!
Previously, we had that forum discussion & I thought the general consensus was Docker for this use case wasn't a great idea? -

Did you have any issues using Nginx at all to start with?

I did last time I tried like six months ago. This time, no issues.

Basically, no other choice bit to "accept" Docker! (in this use case).
Is it good enough for you guys to ditch Zimbra & switch?

We already ditched Zimbra and moved to Zoho, which we love. MailCow is rockin', though. But this is for a customer, not for us internally. But if we were still on Zimbra, this would be far better for us from what I've seen so far. The interface is da bomb.

Was there a consensus on the "best" distro to use for MailCow? @scottalanmiller what are you running it on?
