Before you run mailcow: dockerized, there are a few requirements that you should check:
- WARNING: When you want to run the dockerized version on your Debian 8 (Jessie) box you should switch to the kernel 4.9 from jessie backports because there is a bug (kernel panic) with the kernel 3.16 when running docker containers with healthchecks! Full more details read: github.com/docker/docker/issues/30402 and forum.mailcow.email/t/solved-mailcow-docker-causes-kernel-panic-edit/448
- Mailcow: dockerized requires some ports to be open for incomming connections, so make sure that your firewall is not bloking these. Also make sure that no other application is interferring with mailcow's configuration.
- A correct DNS setup is crucial to every good mailserver setup, so please make sure you got at least the basics covered bevore you begin!
- Make sure that your system has a correct date and time setup. This is crucial for stuff like two factor TOTP authentication.
