a simple docker container to set up a dovecot server for a single user
It is configured with environment variables. If you change environment variables, you will most likely need to destroy and recreate the container.
If using dh_pem, it will take a while (took like 10 minutes for me) when it first starts so that it can create the certificate. To be honest, I am not exactly sure what this does.
9/12/2024 - Updated dovecot to latest version and cleaned up the startup script a bit. Will produce errors if Solr image not found.
