## Make it automatic
## Job scheduler
### via the host system cron
If you want to automate such a task you can create a cron job on your host that calls a script like the one below:
@ -51,3 +53,41 @@ To create a cron job you may execute `crontab -e` and insert something like the
# Execute everyday at 04:00 A.M.
0 4 * * * /path/to/your/expunge_mailboxes.sh
```
### via Docker job scheduler
To archive this with a docker job scheduler use this docker-compose.override.yml with your mailcow:
```
version: '2.1'
services:
ofelia:
image: mcuadros/ofelia:latest
restart: always
command: daemon --docker
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
network_mode: none
dovecot-mailcow:
labels:
- "ofelia.enabled=true"
- "ofelia.job-exec.dovecot-expunge-trash.schedule=0 4 * * *"
- "ofelia.job-exec.dovecot-expunge-trash.command=doveadm expunge -A mailbox 'Junk' savedbefore 2w"
- "ofelia.job-exec.dovecot-expunge-trash.tty=false"
```
The job controller just need access to the docker control socket to be able to emulate the behavior of "exec". Then we add a few label to our dovecot-container to activate the job scheduler and tell him in a cron compatible scheduling format when to run. If you struggle with that schedule string you can use [crontab guru](https://crontab.guru/).
This docker-compose.override.yml deletes all mails older then 2 weeks from the "Junk" folder every day at 4 am. To see if things ran proper, you can not only see in your mailbox but also check Ofelia's docker log if it looks something like this:
```
common.go:124 â–¶ NOTICE [Job "dovecot-expunge-trash" (8759567efa66)] Started - doveadm expunge -A mailbox 'Junk' savedbefore 2w,
common.go:124 â–¶ NOTICE [Job "dovecot-expunge-trash" (8759567efa66)] Finished in "285.032291ms", failed: false, skipped: false, error: none,
```
If it failed it will say so and give you the output of the doveadm in the log to make it easy on you to debug.
In case you want to add more jobs, ensure you change the "dovecot-expunge-trash" part after "ofelia.job-exec." to something else, it defines the name of the job. Syntax of the labels you find at [mcuadros/ofelia](https://github.com/mcuadros/ofelia).
