Ciphermail and postfix not connecting

Gateway
1

hi,

got it ! Cipohermail only save mta config if the mta (postfix) is running.
To check this, ciphermail uses service (systemd).
SystemD only works correct in a privileged (--privileged) container. Now it
seems to work.

hi Martijn ,

Thank you for the reply.

But no, all software for ciphermail (Tomcat, postfix, postgresql,
djigzo.war and djigzo-web.war) is running in the same container, this is
intended, because I need data per container, not on a central container.

My experience with Docker is limited so hopefully I can help and I might
suggest things which are not correct Docker wise.

I guess you are using multiple Docker containers? i.e., container for
CipherMail, container for Postgres etc. If so, which parts are running
in their own container?

The CipherMail back-end, needs direct file access to Posfix in order to
configure Postfix (main.cf) read log files, and stop/start postfix. If
Postfix runs in a separate container, CipherMail back-end does not have
direct access to the Postfix specific files and cannot stop/start
Postfix. One option would be to run CipherMail back-end and Postfix in
the same Docker container. This way CipherMail has direct access to
Postfix. Another option would be to store all Postfix related files on a
shared storage (shared between CipherMail and Postfix) and modify the
postfix start stop/scripts running on CipherMail to remotely start/stop
Postfix.

Kind regards,
