alpine linux with fetchmail and logrotate
docker run -it --name fetchmail -v /fetchmail_config:/data -e TIMECRON:300 cguenther/docker-fetchmail
TIMECRON: Time to Recheck mail, if nothing set it defaults to 300 seconds (which should accept the most mail servers)
create a local etc/fetchmailrc file and adjust it to your own needs
- let the postmaster run as fetchmail
- use the /data/log/fetchmail.log logging path for correct logrotate interop example:
set no syslog
set logfile /data/log/fetchmail.log
set postmaster "fetchmail"
poll imap.gmail.com with proto IMAP
user '[email protected]' there with password 'yourpassword' is fetchmail here options ssl
smtphost mail.example.org
smtpname [email protected]
mount the folder, which contains the etc/fetchmailrc into the /data of the container
fetchmail:
restart: always
image: cguenther/docker-fetchmail
hostname: fetchmail
volumes:
- ./fetchmail:/data:rw
environment:
- TIMECRON=300The fetchmail container logs directly into the mountpoint log/fetchmail.log
