Mailcow-dockerized: Create rancher-catalog template

[Braintelligence]

Hi there!
It would be awesome if mailcow-dockerized provided a rancher-catalog template for easy setup within rancher. This way, people would have an easy upgrade path, as long as they don't stray from the standard configuration. The mailcow.conf could be created from the rancher template when installing.
If successful, you could pitch mailcow to the official Rancher catalog as well.
Best of it all would be guaranteed compatibility with Rancher 😸.

An example on how this looks like can be found in this repo: https://github.com/adi90x/rancher-active-proxy

You create a folder "templates" and a folder with your project name and define the docker-compose.yml and rancher-compose.yml there. I don't know if and how to include "local" files, like you do with ./data/... in the docker-compose.yml for the rancher catalog, though.
Afterwards, anyone can add the git repo as additional rancher catalog in the rancher web ui.

Very glad to hear 😸

I have started writing a catalog item: https://github.com/emcniece/rancher-catalog/tree/feat/mailcow/templates/mailcow

Currently I'm fighting with opening some ports on my hosts. Next steps are making the networking more Rancher-friendly, and testing all the container communication.

Are there any news?

[emcniece]

@develth not much progress since last post. I think the stack works though, if you have time to verify I'd appreciate it!

Thanks a lot to @emcniece and @mailcow team.

I think the @emcniece catalog inspired me to create this fork: mailcow-rancherized, and that catalog rancher-catalog for rancher.

If that helps you, I'll be happy! :heart_eyes:

What about just adding mailcow to the official rancher-community catalog?

[MichelDiz]

I agree with @kolaente , using the Rancher catalog is a good option to generate more stream of users for this project. Several projects I've only just met were testing things from the catalog.

Hello,

Trying to install mailcow-rancherized on my rancher instance but there's a problem with the dovecot image (no healthy host...).

Tried both on Debian and rancheros.

Hey @etique57!
I think that issue will be helpful https://github.com/pedrogoncalvesk/rancher-catalog/issues/1
