Docker Compose expects a project file, named docker-compose.yml in a project directory. First create your project directory.

mkdir /mailu

Then download the project file. A side configuration file makes it easier to read and check the configuration variables generated by the wizard.

cd /mailu
wget http://setup.mailu.io/1.7/file/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/docker-compose.yml
wget http://setup.mailu.io/1.7/file/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/mailu.env 

We did not insert any malicious code on purpose in the configurations we distribute, but your download could have been intercepted, or our wizard website could have been compromised, so make sure you check the configuration files before going any further.

When you are done checking them, check them one last time.

To start your compose project, simply run the Docker Compose up command using -p mailu flag for project name.

cd /mailu
docker-compose -p mailu up -d

Before you can use Mailu, you must create the primary administrator user account. This should be [email protected]. Use the following command, changing PASSWORD to your liking:

docker-compose -p mailu exec admin flask mailu admin admin 你的根域名 PASSWORD

Login to the admin interface to change the password for a safe one, at one of the hostnames 你的域名/admin. Also, choose the “Update password” option in the left menu.
