Self-Hosted -- Need Some Clarification

[kevdogg]

Although I know this usually isn't the forum for this question, I thought I'd ask.

I'm trying to test the Self Hosted solution. I spun up Ubuntu within a VM and installed all the required packages. I guess my question is -- now what??? Is there a service I need to start to get this running?

Best bet may be to look into the Dockerfile suggested as part of #111, you'll need to setup a systemd/init script for the service itself in order to have it start. You'll need inbound port 25 available as well, for the mail forwarding itself to work.

And by look into the Dockerfile, I don't mean use Docker, which you can absolutely do, I only mean that a Dockerfile is a set of instructions on how to build/run something, generally speaking.

Hi,
I would like to try the self hosted solution but I cannot find any documentation about it.
Can you point me to any links?

Thanks
