Mod to enable the smtpd email monitor in the linuxserver.io healthchecks container
You need to start the container first without this mod, so that the config files you need to modify are generated.
- Stop the running container
- Create the file 90-smtpd (copy the file contents from the one in this repo, or download it from here), somewhere you can map it into the container
- Use a volume to map the file in to this location:
/location/of/file/90-smtpd:/etc/cont-init.d/90-smtpd
in your docker run or docker-compose - Edit the local_settings.py file that is in the /config directory, and add this line at the bottom, modifying to suit your setup/domain:
PING_EMAIL_DOMAIN = "your.domain.com"
- Map the SMTP port 2525:2525 in your docker run or docker-compose
Start the container again. you should be able to send email to the container, using the IP/hostname of the container and port 2525 as the mailserver.
