Mailu command line
==================

Managing users and aliases can be done from CLI using commands:

* alias
* alias_delete
* user
* user_import
* user_delete
* config_update

alias
-----

.. code-block:: bash

  docker-compose run --rm admin python manage.py alias foo example.net "mail1@example.com,mail2@example.com"


alias_delete
------------

.. code-block:: bash

  docker-compose run --rm admin python manage.py alias_delete foo@example.net

user
----

.. code-block:: bash

  docker-compose run --rm admin python manage.py user --hash_scheme='SHA512-CRYPT' myuser example.net 'password123'

user_import
-----------

primary difference with simple `user` command is that password is being imported as a hash - very useful when migrating users from other systems where only hash is known.

.. code-block:: bash

  docker-compose run --rm admin python manage.py user --hash_scheme='SHA512-CRYPT' myuser example.net '$6$51ebe0cb9f1dab48effa2a0ad8660cb489b445936b9ffd812a0b8f46bca66dd549fea530ce'

user_delete
------------

.. code-block:: bash

  docker-compose run --rm admin python manage.py user_delete foo@example.net

config_update
-------------

The sole purpose of this command is for importing users/aliases in bulk and synchronizing DB entries with external YAML template:

.. code-block:: bash

  cat mail-config.yml | docker-compose run --rm admin python manage.py config_update --delete_objects

where mail-config.yml looks like:

.. code-block:: bash

  users:
    - localpart: foo
      domain: example.com
      password_hash: klkjhumnzxcjkajahsdqweqqwr
      hash_scheme: MD5-CRYPT

  aliases:
    - localpart: alias1
      domain: example.com
      destination: "user1@example.com,user2@example.com"

without ``--delete_object`` option config_update will only add/update new values but will *not* remove any entries missing in provided YAML input.
