Roundcube on php:5.6-apache

Docker run

docker run --rm \
  --network backend \
  --name roundcube \
  -P \
  jnbt/roundcube

Setup database

In case you want to automatically create the MySQL database layout run the container with app:init:

docker run --rm -it \
  --network backend \
  jnbt/roundcube \
  app:init

NOTE: This must be used in iteractive mode, as you may have to answer questions of the CLI.

Configuration

MySQL

The typical environment variables for MySQL are available:

-e MYSQL_HOST=roundcube
-e MYSQL_USER=roundcube
-e MYSQL_DATABASE=roundcube
-e MYSQL_PASSWORD=roundcube

Roundcube via environment variables

You can configure all simple Roundcube configuration options using enviroment variables prefixed with RC_.

Example: Using TLS to connect via IMAP, SMTP, MANAGESIEVE to a (linked) host mail:

-e RC_DEFAULT_HOST=tls://mail
-e RC_SMTP_SERVER=tls://mail
-e RC_MANAGESIEVE_HOST=tls://mail

Roundcube via php files

In case you need a more complex configuration, e.g. setting plugins, you can mount a directory holding further php-based configuration files:

-v /path/to/config/folder:/var/www/html/config/custom:ro

Where a custom config file could be /path/to/config/folder/user.inc.php:

<?php

// List of active plugins (in plugins/ directory)
$config['plugins'] = array('managesieve', 'archive', 'show_additional_headers');

Updating

You can update the Roundcube version by using the matching tag of this docker image:

1. Shutdown the running instance:

    docker stop roundcube
   

2. Use the new version to update the database.

    docker run --rm -it \
      --network backend \
      jnbt/roundcube:$VERSION \
      app:update
   

   NOTE: This must be used in iteractive mode, as you may have to answer questions of the CLI.

3. Start the new version:

    docker run --rm \
      --network backend \
      --name roundcube \
      -P \
      jnbt/roundcube
