Install Mailu on a docker swarm
Prequisites
Swarm
In order to deploy Mailu on a swarm, you will first need to initialize the swarm:
The main command will be:
docker swarm init --advertise-addr <IP_ADDR>
See https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/swarm-tutorial/create-swarm/
If you want to add other managers or workers, please use:
docker swarm join --token xxxxx
See https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/join-nodes/
You have now a working swarm, and you can check its status with:
core@coreos-01 ~/git/Mailu/docs/swarm/1.5 $ docker node ls
ID HOSTNAME STATUS AVAILABILITY MANAGER STATUS ENGINE VERSION
xhgeekkrlttpmtgmapt5hyxrb black-pearl Ready Active 18.06.0-ce
sczlqjgfhehsfdjhfhhph1nvb * coreos-01 Ready Active Leader 18.03.1-ce
mzrm9nbdggsfz4sgq6dhs5i6n flying-dutchman Ready Active 18.06.0-ce
Volume definition
For data persistance (the Mailu services might be launched/relaunched on any of the swarm nodes), we need to have Mailu data stored in a manner accessible by every manager or worker in the swarm. Hereafter we will use a NFS share:
core@coreos-01 ~ $ showmount -e 192.168.0.30
Export list for 192.168.0.30:
/mnt/Pool1/pv 192.168.0.0
on the nfs server, I am using the following /etc/exports
$more /etc/exports
/mnt/Pool1/pv -alldirs -mapall=root -network 192.168.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
on the nfs server, I created the Mailu directory (in fact I copied a working Mailu set-up)
$mkdir /mnt/Pool1/pv/mailu
On your manager node, mount the nfs share to check that the share is available:
core@coreos-01 ~ $ sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.30:/mnt/Pool1/pv/mailu /mnt/local/
If this is ok, you can umount it:
core@coreos-01 ~ $ sudo umount /mnt/local/
Networking mode
On a swarm, the services are available (default mode) through a routing mesh managed by docker itself. With this mode, each service is given a virtual IP adress and docker manages the routing between this virtual IP and the container(s) provinding this service. With this default networking mode, I cannot get login working properly... As found in https://github.com/Mailu/Mailu/issues/375 , a workaround is to use the dnsrr networking mode at least for the front services.
The main consequence/limitation will be that the front services will not be available on every node, but only on the node where it will be deployed. In my case, I have only one manager and I choose to deploy the front service to the manager node, so I know on wich IP the front service will be available (aka the IP adress of my manager node).
Variable substitution and docker-compose.yml
The docker stack deploy command doesn't support variable substitution in the .yml file itself (but we still can use .env file to pass variables to the services). As a consequence we need to adjust the docker-compose file in order to :
- remove all variables : $VERSION , $BIND_ADDRESS4 , $BIND_ADDRESS6 , $ANTIVIRUS , $WEBMAIL , etc
- change the way we define the volumes (nfs share in our case)
- add a deploy section for every service

Deploy Mailu on the docker swarm
Run the following command:
docker stack deploy -c docker-compose-stack.yml mailu
See how the services are being deployed:
core@coreos-01 ~ $ docker service ls
ID NAME MODE REPLICAS IMAGE PORTS
ywnsetmtkb1l mailu_antivirus replicated 1/1 mailu/none:1.5
pqokiaz0q128 mailu_fetchmail replicated 1/1 mailu/fetchmail:1.5
check a specific service:
core@coreos-01 ~ $ docker service ps mailu_fetchmail
ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENT STATE ERROR PORTS
tbu8ppgsdffj mailu_fetchmail.1 mailu/fetchmail:1.5 coreos-01 Running Running 11 days ago
Remove the stack
Run the follwoing command:
core@coreos-01 ~ $ docker stack rm mailu
