Dockerize Iredmail as an option for deployment

[jawabuu]

Hey @iredmail ,
I would like to inquire if there is an interest in dockerizing iredmail as an option for deployment.
I have seen this discussion
https://forum.iredmail.org/topic13826-iredmail-and-docker-architecture-proposal.html
where some members of the community seemed reluctant.
A proposal that has since stalled here
https://github.com/kawaii/iredmail-docker
I have also come across this
https://www.github.com/lejmr/iredmail-docker
which seems to work okay but all the components are bundled into the docker image.
My proposal - if you are fine with it - is to work on a docker deployment for iredmail which would;

1. Maintain the current structure of the project
2. Be entirely option so it can co-exist with the current codebase.
3. Split the components into individual services to allow for better customization.

The advantages of this approach would be

1. It would be consistent with current deployments of Iredmail so migration to/from docker-iredmail would be seamless
2. Deployment would always be up to date and follow versioning of core iredmail
3. Optional and Non-Intrusive

Let me know what you think

Hi @iredmail
Do you have any ETA or could you at least share the current stage (alpha, beta, release candidate)?

Also if you can invite me I can test with docker compose and Lets encrypt and write instruction.
