Description
A poorly named "Mailserver" is essentially a Whisper node that stores message history in either a LevelDB or PostgreSQL database.
A Status app user can run their own Mailserver for faster message retrieval or additional security.
Service Ports
30303TCP - DevP2P wire protocol port. Should ALWAYS be public.8545TCP - JSON RPC management port. Should NEVER be public.
Setup methods
This document describes the two alternative ways to start a Status Mailserver:
- Docker Compose - More self-contained and portable
- Systemd Service - More local and configurable
Docker Compose
The simplest way is to just use:
make run-mailserver-docker
This will generate the necessary config, compose and then start the container.
For more details read the README.
Systemd Service
The other way is to run the mailserver under systemd:
make run-mailserver-systemd
This will generate the necessary config, define and then start a user service.
Use sudo if you want it to be a system service.
For more details read the README.
