# Description
This document describes the two alternative ways to start a Status Mailserver:
* [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) - More self-contained and portable
* [Systemd Service](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/) - 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](_assets/compose/mailserver/README.md).
## 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](_assets/systemd/mailserver/README.md).
