What is Postfix Admin?

Postfix Admin is a web based interface to configure and manage a Postfix based email server for many users. Features include support for virtual domains and aliases, quotas, and vacation/out-of-the-office messages. It requires PHP, Postfix and one of MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite.

How to use this image

No config.local.php / no existing setup

If you do not have a config.local.php, then we fall back to look for environment variables to generate one.

console
$ docker run -e POSTFIXADMIN_DB_TYPE=mysqli \
           -e POSTFIXADMIN_DB_HOST=whatever \
           -e POSTFIXADMIN_DB_USER=user \
           -e POSTFIXADMIN_DB_PASSWORD=topsecret \
           -e POSTFIXADMIN_DB_NAME=postfixadmin \
           --name some-postfixadmin \
        arm64v8/postfixadmin

POSTFIXADMIN_DB_TYPE can be one of :

• mysqli
• pgsql
• sqlite

Note: An SQLite database is not recommend but used as a fallback if you do not have a config.local.php and do not specify the above variables. Do not forget to add a volume for the SQLite path.

You can also specify a POSTFIXADMIN_SETUP_PASSWORD environment variable.

If you'd like to be able to access the instance from the host without the container's IP, standard port mappings can be used:

console
$ docker run -e POSTFIXADMIN_DB_TYPE=mysqli \
           -e POSTFIXADMIN_DB_HOST=whatever \
           -e POSTFIXADMIN_DB_USER=user \
           -e POSTFIXADMIN_DB_PASSWORD=topsecret \
           -e POSTFIXADMIN_DB_NAME=postfixadmin \
           --name some-postfixadmin \
           -p 8080:80
        arm64v8/postfixadmin

Then, access it via http://localhost:8080 or http://host-ip:8080 in a browser.

Existing config.local.php

console
$ docker run -v /local/path/to/config.local.php:/var/www/html/config.local.php \
           --name some-postfixadmin \
           -p 8080:80 \
        arm64v8/postfixadmin

... via https://github.com/docker/compose

Example compose.yaml for postfixadmin:

yaml
services:
  db:
    image: mysql:8.0
    restart: always
    environment:
      MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD: 1
      MYSQL_DATABASE: postfixadmin
      MYSQL_USER: postfixadmin
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: example

  postfixadmin:
    depends_on:
      - db
    image: postfixadmin
    ports:
      - 8000:80
    restart: always
    environment:
      POSTFIXADMIN_DB_TYPE: mysqli
      POSTFIXADMIN_DB_HOST: db
      POSTFIXADMIN_DB_USER: postfixadmin
      POSTFIXADMIN_DB_NAME: postfixadmin
      POSTFIXADMIN_DB_PASSWORD: example

Run docker compose up, wait for it to initialize completely, and visit http://localhost:8080 or http://host-ip:8080 (as appropriate).

Image Variants

The arm64v8/postfixadmin images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.

arm64v8/postfixadmin:<version>

This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as well as the base to build other images off of.

apache

This starts an Apache webserver with PHP, so you can use postfixadmin out of the box.

fpm

This image starts only a PHP FPM container. Use this variant if you already have a seperate webserver.

fpm-alpine

This image has a very small footprint. It is based on Alpine Linux and starts only a PHP FPM process. Use this variant if you already have a seperate webserver. If you need more tools, that are not available on Alpine Linux, use the fpm image instead.
