For big mail databases we needed to move the mailstore onto some external volume, while keeping the other docker volumes on fast NVME. Here a
docker-compose.override.yml
file comes in handy, to specify that the vmail volume is an external one.In order to deploy a (any) customized
docker-compose.override.yml
file, we added a parametermailcow__docker_compose_override_file
to specify an external file to themailcow.mailcow
role. If the parameter is set, the file will be copied asdocker-compose.override.yml
into themailcow__install_path
.If the parameter is not given, the role behaves just as before. Of course the override file can be used to implement any desired customization. To use the parameter something like
{{playbook_dir}}
comes in handy, e.g.:We hope, that you will find this useful and will accept the pull request.
