# Status Mailserver

This folder contains setup for running your own Status Mailserver.
It uses:

* [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) for managing the Status Mailserver container.
* [Makefile](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) to simplify the process for the user.

# Requirements

This Makefile uses two tools: `jq` and `docker-compose`.

# Usage

To simply start a container run `make`, other commands include:

* `make start` - Starts the `status-go-mailserver` container.
* `make stop` - Stops the container.
* `make show` - Shows you current status of the container.
* `make logs` - Shows you logs of the container.
* `make config.json` - Creates `config.json` with your Public IP.

# Settings

All settings are passed through environment variables:

* `PUBLIC_IP` - Your IP visible from the internet and advertised by the Mailserver.
* `LISTEN_PORT` - Mailserver TCP port, by default it's `30303` but you might want to use `443`.
* `RPC_PORT` - Control port making it possible to use the [JSON-RPC API](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/JSON-RPC).
* `API_MODULES` - API modules to be made available via the `RPC_PORT`.
* `DATA_PATH` - Location of Mailserver storage and keys. (Default: `/var/tmp/status-go-mail`)
* `CONTAINER_NAME` - Name of the container that will be created.
* `LOG_LEVEL` - Set level of log messages to show. (`ERROR`, `WARN`, `INFO`, `DEBUG`, `TRACE`)

# Known Issues

If the discovery of your Public IP does not work please simply export the `PUBLIC_IP` env variable.
You can also set `LISTEN_PORT` to something else to avoid firewall issues.
```bash
$ export PUBLIC_IP=1.2.3.4
$ export LISTEN_PORT=443
$ make
docker-compose up -d
