This has a couple of advantages over iRedMail: * You don't need a fresh Debian install. You only need a working Docker installation. -* Other system packages will not interfere. -* It's more easily movable. Since I pushed all my images to docker hub, I just copy over the data directory and the docker-compose file to a new Pi, execute `docker-compose up -d` and it's all back up. +* You can configure & run other services on the same machine without interference. +* It's more easily portable: copy over the single /var/lib/mailu directory to another machine, and spin up all the servers again with `docker-compose up` and it's all back up & working again. + +The project didn't work out of the box with Raspberry Pi - not all the base images are ARM compatible.
