## Summary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
iRedMail installer stores its own configrations in file named `config` during
|
|
|
|
|
installation. For example, if you downloaded iRedMail-1.2 under `/root`, then
|
|
|
|
|
then file path is `/root/iRedMail-1.2/config`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While launching the iRedMail installer, it detects whether there's an existing
|
|
|
|
|
config file, and asks for your confirmation to use it if found one. You can use
|
|
|
|
|
this procedure to perform unattended iRedMail installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Generate a sample config file
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To generate a sample config file, just run the installer:
|
2014-09-17 00:28:29 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
2020-04-15 20:44:58 -05:00
|
|
|
bash iRedMail.sh
|
2014-09-17 00:28:29 -05:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-04-15 20:44:58 -05:00
|
|
|
After finished the configuration dialog, iRedMail installer prints your
|
|
|
|
|
configuration and ask for your confirmation to perform the actual installation.
|
|
|
|
|
You should abort it here since you just want to generate a sample config file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Feel free to open this `config` file, change the settings to match your real
|
|
|
|
|
deployment if you want.
