Mailcow LXC

Below is my list of commands to get Mailcow running in a Alpine based LXC under Proxmox using the excellent Proxmox helper scripts by tteck. This is officially un-supported by Mailcow but I’ve now had it running for a month or so and there’s been no issues to date.

You’ll want to install either Portainer or the Portiner plugin so that you can gain control for future access etc.

⭐ tteck Alpine LXC script https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/#alpine-lxc

apk add --no-cache --upgrade grep sed coreutils openssl git findutils
cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized
cd mailcow-dockerized/
./generate_config.sh
nano /opt/mailcow-dockerized/mailcow.conf
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

Pretty simple hey! :)
