Gogs
With Gogs' ability to authenticate over SMTP it is trivial to integrate it with mailcow. Few changes are needed:
1. In order to create a database for Gogs, connect to your shell and execute the following commands:
source mailcow.conf
docker exec -it $(docker ps -f name=mysql-mailcow -q) mysql -uroot -p${DBROOT} -e "CREATE DATABASE gogs;"
docker exec -it $(docker ps -f name=mysql-mailcow -q) mysql -uroot -p${DBROOT} -e "CREATE USER 'gogs'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_strong_password';"
docker exec -it $(docker ps -f name=mysql-mailcow -q) mysql -uroot -p${DBROOT} -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON gogs.* TO 'gogs'@'%';
2. Open docker-compose.override.yml
and add Gogs:
version: '2.1'
services:
gogs-mailcow:
image: gogs/gogs
volumes:
- ./data/gogs:/data
networks:
mailcow-network:
aliases:
- gogs
ports:
- "${GOGS_SSH_PORT:-127.0.0.1:4000}:22"
3. Create data/conf/nginx/site.gogs.custom
, add:
location /gogs/ {
proxy_pass http://gogs:3000/;
}
4. Open mailcow.conf
and define the binding you want Gogs to use for SSH. Example:
GOGS_SSH_PORT=127.0.0.1:4000
5. Run the commands to bring up the Gogs container and restart the nginx-mailcow container afterwards:
docker compose up -d
docker compose restart nginx-mailcow
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose restart nginx-mailcow
6. Open http://${MAILCOW_HOSTNAME}/gogs/
, for example http://mx.example.org/gogs/
. For database details set mysql
as database host. Use the value gogs as database name, gogs as database user and your_strong_password you previously definied at step 1 as database password.
7. Once the installation is complete, login as admin and set "settings" -> "authorization" -> "enable SMTP". SMTP Host should be postfix
with port 587
, set Skip TLS Verify
as we are using an unlisted SAN ("postfix" is most likely not part of your certificate).
8. Create data/gogs/gogs/conf/app.ini
and set following values. You can consult Gogs cheat sheet for their meaning and other possible values.
[server]
SSH_LISTEN_PORT = 22
# For GOGS_SSH_PORT=127.0.0.1:4000 in mailcow.conf, set:
SSH_DOMAIN = 127.0.0.1
SSH_PORT = 4000
# For MAILCOW_HOSTNAME=mx.example.org in mailcow.conf (and default ports for HTTPS), set:
ROOT_URL = https://mx.example.org/gogs/
9. Restart Gogs with the following command. Your users should be able to login with mailcow managed accounts.
docker compose restart gogs-mailcow
docker-compose restart gogs-mailcow
