mailcow dockerized comes with a snakeoil CA "mailcow" and a server certificate in `data/assets/ssl`. Please use your own trusted certificates. mailcow uses 3 domain names that should be covered by your new certificate: - ${MAILCOW_HOSTNAME} - autodiscover.**example.org** - autoconfig.**example.org** ### Let's Encrypt This is just an example of how to obtain certificates with certbot. There are several methods! 1\. Get the certbot client: ``` bash wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto -O /usr/local/sbin/certbot && chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/certbot ``` 2\. Make sure you set `HTTP_BIND=0.0.0.0` and `HTTP_PORT=80` in `mailcow.conf` or setup a reverse proxy to enable connections to port 80. If you changed HTTP_BIND, then rebuild Nginx: ``` bash docker-compose up -d ``` 3\. Request the certificate with the webroot method: ``` bash cd /path/to/git/clone/mailcow-dockerized source mailcow.conf certbot certonly \ --webroot \ -w ${PWD}/data/web \ -d ${MAILCOW_HOSTNAME} \ -d autodiscover.example.org \ -d autoconfig.example.org \ --email you@example.org \ --agree-tos ``` **Remember to replace the example.org domain with your own domain, this command will not work if you dont.** 4\. Create hard links to the full path of the new certificates. Assuming you are still in the mailcow root folder: ``` bash mv data/assets/ssl/cert.{pem,pem.backup} mv data/assets/ssl/key.{pem,pem.backup} ln $(readlink -f /etc/letsencrypt/live/${MAILCOW_HOSTNAME}/fullchain.pem) data/assets/ssl/cert.pem ln $(readlink -f /etc/letsencrypt/live/${MAILCOW_HOSTNAME}/privkey.pem) data/assets/ssl/key.pem ``` 5\. Restart affected containers: ``` docker-compose restart postfix-mailcow dovecot-mailcow nginx-mailcow ``` When renewing certificates, run the last two steps (link + restart) as post-hook in a script.
