This docker file expects a volume to be mounted at /postorius/local
This volume should contain an __init__.py file, since django expects it to be
a valid python module.
This volume can hold any custom configuration and the database, to persist changes between starts.
You can pass environment variables to alter the settings:
MAILMAN_REST_API_URL=http://mailman-core:8001MAILMAN_REST_API_USER=restadminMAILMAN_REST_API_PASS=restpass
You can also override the settings using a file in /postorius/local/settings.py
Note that this file overrides the environment variables!
The django server is exposed under port 8000
The provided docker-compose file should simply the process of getting it running
Please note that a Mailman core instance is needed to actually use this image. Refer to the compose files included in https://github.com/simonsmiley/mailman-compose for compose files that also setup Mailman core.
Access to the django commandline can be obtained using:
docker exec -it <container_name> python /postorius/manage.py mmclient
a mailmanclient Client object is provided for convenience which can be accessed using client

- Populate the database:
docker exec -it <container_name> python /postorius/manage.py migrate - Create a superuser:
docker exec -it <container_name> python /postorius/manage.py createsuperuser
docker build -t <name> .
