# SSL (and: How to use Let's Encrypt) 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* **Obtain multi-SAN certificate by Let's Encrypt** This is just an example of how to obtain certificates with certbot. There are several methods! 1. Get the certbot client: ``` 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` in `mailcow.conf` or setup a reverse proxy to enable connections to port 80. If you changed HTTP_BIND, then restart Nginx: `docker-compose restart nginx-mailcow`. 3. Request the certificate with the webroot method: ``` 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 ``` 3. Create hard links to the full path of the new certificates. Assuming you are still in the mailcow root folder: ``` 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 ``` 4. Restart containers which use the certificate: ``` 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. # Rspamd UI access At first you may want to setup Rspamds web interface which provides some useful features and information. 1. Generate a Rspamd controller password hash: ``` docker-compose exec rspamd-mailcow rspamadm pw ``` 2. Replace the default hash in `data/conf/rspamd/override.d/worker-controller.inc` by your newly generated: ``` enable_password = "myhash"; ``` 3. Restart rspamd: ``` docker-compose restart rspamd-mailcow ``` Open https://${MAILCOW_HOSTNAME}/rspamd in a browser and login! # Optional: Reverse proxy You don't need to change the Nginx site that comes with mailcow: dockerized. mailcow: dockerized trusts the default gateway IP 172.22.1.1 as proxy. This is very important to control access to Rspamds web ui. Make sure you change HTTP_BIND and HTTPS_BIND to a local address and set the ports accordingly, for example: ``` HTTP_BIND=127.0.0.1 HTTP_PORT=8080 HTTPS_PORT=127.0.0.1 HTTPS_PORT=8443 ``` Configure your local webserver as reverse proxy: **Apache 2.4** ``` ServerName mail.example.org ServerAlias autodiscover.example.org ServerAlias autoconfig.example.org [...] # You should proxy to a plain HTTP session to offload SSL processing ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080 ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080 ProxyPreserveHost On your-ssl-configuration-here [...] # If you plan to proxy to a HTTPS host: #SSLProxyEngine On # If you plan to proxy to an untrusted HTTPS host: #SSLProxyVerify none #SSLProxyCheckPeerCN off #SSLProxyCheckPeerName off #SSLProxyCheckPeerExpire off ``` **Nginx** ``` server { listen 443; server_name mail.example.org autodiscover.example.org autoconfig.example.org; [...] your-ssl-configuration-here location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; } [...] } ```
