Jakub Sokołowski 2b566db298 drop AdvertiseAddr from default configuration 
It appears it is being used by Rendezvous, and if that protocol is not
being used there is no need to set `AdvertiseAddr` either.

I also adjusted all the `Makefile`s to not depend on `PUBLIC_IP` variable.

Status Mailserver

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

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 - Creates ${DATA_PATH}/config.json with your Public IP.
  • make enode - Shows enode:// address of the container.
  • make enode-qr - Shows enode:// address using a QR code.

Settings

All settings are passed through environment variables:

  • LISTEN_PORT - Mailserver TCP & UDP port, by default it's 30303 but you might want to use 443.
  • METRICS_PORT - Port exposing metrics in Prometheus format
  • RPC_PORT - Control port making it possible to use the JSON-RPC API.
  • 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_IMG - Name of the container image. (default: statusteam/status-go)
  • CONTAINER_TAG - Tag of container image to use. (default: v0.64.3)
  • CONTAINER_NAME - Name of the container that will be created. (default: status-go-mailserver)
  • REGISTER_TOPIC - Mynamic mailserver discovery topic. (default: whispermail)
  • MAIL_PASSWORD - Basic HTTP auth password for mailserver. (default: status-offline-inbox)
  • LOG_LEVEL - Set level of log messages to show. (valid: ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE)

The generated configuration file end up under ${DATA_PATH}/config.json.

F.A.Q.

Should I change the MailServerPassword in the WhisperConfig section for better security?

This password is only used to symmetrically secure history requests. It is not used to secure messages or authorize users in any way. Whisper protocol requires each messages to be encrypted so a client and mailserver needs to agree on some password.
