Development of Mailpile v1 has stopped, and it has become hard to install on modern distributions due to its requirements (in particular Python 2.x) being unmaintained.
These Docker images and scripts make it relativey easy to run legacy Mailpile on a modern Linux machine. These are provided for historic reasons, and to ensure users of Mailpile v1 retain access to their data.
NOTE: the contents of the Docker images are themselves obsolete and for security reasons this should not be relied on in production or for new installations.
This assumes you already have git and docker installed.
$ git clone https://github.com/mailpile/Mailpile-v1-Docker
$ cd Mailpile-v1-Docker
# Display some instructions
$ ./mailpile-v1.sh
# Launch Mailpile
$ ./mailpile-v1.sh run
Note: This will pull the latest image from Docker Hub and launch it. Yes this is a binary blob, thank you for trusting me!
This assumes you already have git and docker installed.
$ git clone https://github.com/mailpile/Mailpile-v1-Docker
$ cd Mailpile-v1-Docker
# Build the Docker image
$ ./tools/build-image.sh
# Run it!
$ ./mailpile-v1.sh run
This builds an image by installing Mailpile packages from the project's Debian repository. This may fail at some point, if the repo is taken offline, keys expire or the Debian image we build upon become unusable.
