<h2 id="how-the-fearless-upgrade-works">How the fearless upgrade works</h2>
<p>iRedMail Easy splits config files of softwares to 2 parts: Core and Custom,
this is the magic of fearless one-click upgrade.</p>
<p>iRedMail Easy maintains core config files to make sure everything works as
expected, but we understand that one rule doesn't work for everyone and you may
want to change/override some settings configured by iRedMail Easy.</p>
<p>Please follow some simple rules to store your custom settings, and do not
modify the core config files (manually) managed by iRedMail Easy.</p>
<h3 id="including-config-files">Including config files</h3>
<p>Many softwares support loading settings from extra config files with directive
like <code>include</code> (Nginx, Dovecot), <code>include_try</code> (Dovecot), <code>require_once</code> (PHP
applications). In this case, it will be configured to load extra config files
under <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/&lt;software-name&gt;/</code>. We use Dovecot for example to
explain the details.</p>
<p>Dovecot's main config file is <code>/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf</code>, we have directives
at the bottom of <code>dovecot.conf</code> like this:</p>
<pre><code>!include_try /etc/dovecot/conf-enabled/*.conf
!include_try /opt/iredmail/custom/dovecot/conf-enabled/*.conf
</code></pre>
<p>It will try to load all files ends with <code>.conf</code> under
<code>/etc/dovecot/conf-enabled/</code> first, then
<code>/opt/iredmail/custom/dovecot/conf-enabled/</code>.</p>
<p>Files under <code>/etc/dovecot/conf-enabled/</code> are maintained by iRedMail Easy, if
you want to override some settings, please create a file which ends with
<code>.conf</code> under <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/dovecot/conf-enabled/</code> with your custom
settings. for example, Dovecot is configured to enable services like below by
iRedMail Easy:</p>
<pre><code>dovecot_protocols = pop3 imap sieve lmtp
</code></pre>
<p>What can you do to disable it without modify files under <code>/etc/dovecot/</code>? Easy,
just create a file, e.g. <code>custom.conf</code> under
<code>/opt/iredmail/custom/dovecot/conf-enabled/</code> with content below (<code>pop3</code> is
removed), then restart Dovecot service:</p>
<pre><code>dovecot_protocols = imap sieve lmtp
</code></pre>
<h3 id="modify-config-files-in-place">Modify config files in-place</h3>
<p>If software does not support loading settings from extra config files,
you may need to apply your own settings by running commands to modify its
config files under <code>/etc/</code>. For example, Postfix.</p>
<p>Postfix doesn't support directive like <code>include</code> to load extra config files,
you can change some settings by modifying its config files (e.g.
<code>/etc/postfix/main.cf</code>) directly, but next time you upgrade your iRedMail
server with iRedMail Easy, the config file will be rewritten by iRedMail Easy,
then you lose all custom settings.</p>
<p>Fortunately, iRedMail Easy supports executing a shell script each time it
deploying or upgrading a software. For Postfix, it's
<code>/opt/iredmail/custom/postfix/custom.sh</code>.</p>
<p>Let's say you want to add IP address <code>192.168.1.1</code> to Postfix parameter
<code>mynetworks</code>, instead of modifying <code>/etc/postfix/main.cf</code> directly, you can
write shell commands in <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/postfix/custom.sh</code> like below:</p>
<pre><code>postconf -e mynetworks='127.0.0.1 192.168.1.1'
</code></pre>
<p>Then run it manually:</p>
<pre><code>cd /opt/iredmail/custom/postfix/
bash custom.sh
</code></pre>
<p>When iRedMail Easy deploys or upgrades Postfix, it will run this script the
same way.</p>
<h3 id="remove-existing-file-and-create-a-new-one">Remove existing file and create a new one</h3>
<p>Nginx supports loading extra config file with <code>include</code> directive, but it
doesn't support overriding existing parameters. for example, if parameter
<code>client_max_body_size</code> is defined in one file, but you have <code>include</code> directive
to load same parameter in another file, Nginx will report duplicate parameter
and refuse to start. In this case, you have to remove existing config files
(which contains the parameter you want to customize) generated by iRedMail Easy
and create a new one. Let's use parameter <code>client_max_body_size</code> for example.</p>
<p>iRedMail Easy generates files under <code>/etc/nginx/conf-enabled/</code> for different
parameters, and parameter <code>client_max_body_size</code> is defined in
<code>/etc/nginx/conf-enabled/client_max_body_size.conf</code> like this:</p>
<pre><code>client_max_body_size 15m;
</code></pre>
<p>You need to add a new file under <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/nginx/conf-enabled/</code>
first, then add shell command in <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/nginx/custom.sh</code> to
remove <code>/etc/nginx/conf-enabled/client_max_body_size.conf</code> like below:</p>
<pre><code>rm -f /etc/nginx/conf-enabled/client_max_body_size.conf
</code></pre>
<p>Now run this script:</p>
<pre><code>cd /opt/iredmail/custom/nginx/
bash custom.sh
</code></pre>
<p>When iRedMail Easy deploys or upgrades Nginx, it will run this script the
same way.</p>
<h3 id="the-rest">The rest</h3>
<ul>
<li>SOGo doesn't support any of the ways mentioned above, if you need to modify any settings, please either use <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/sogo/custom.sh</code> to modify please read <a href="#sogo">details below</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="ssl-cert">SSL cert</h2>
<p>iRedMail Easy generates self-signed ssl cert by default, cert files are stored
under <code>/opt/iredmail/ssl/</code>:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>key.pem</code>: private key</li>
<li><code>cert.pem</code>: certificate</li>
<li><code>combined.pem</code>: full chain</li>
</ul>
<p>To get rid of self-signed cert, you can either:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="./letsencrypt.html">Request a free cert from Let's Encrypt</a>, or</li>
<li><a href="./use.a.bought.ssl.certificate.html">Use a bought SSL certificate</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="passwords">Passwords</h2>
<ul>
<li>iRedMail Easy doesn't store any SQL/LDAP passwords on its deployment servers,
instead it generates and reads from files under <code>/root/.iredmail/kv/</code> on
<strong>YOUR</strong> server to get the passwords.</li>
<li>Files under <code>/root/.iredmail/kv/</code> contain only one line.</li>
<li>If you changed any of them, please update files under <code>/root/.iredmail/kv/</code>
also, so that iRedMail Easy can get correct password when you perform upgrade.</li>

<h3 id="mariadb">MariaDB</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/mysql/</code>:<ul>
<li>All files end with <code>.cnf</code> will be loaded by Mariadb.</li>
<li>
<p>It will override existing settings defined in files under <code>/etc/mysql/</code> (Linux)
or <code>/usr/local/etc/mysql/</code> (FreeBSD).</p>
<p>Sample config file, <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/mysql/custom.conf</code>:</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>

<h3 id="nginx">Nginx</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/nginx/custom.sh</code>: a bash shell script for advanced
customization. This file will be executed every time iRedMail Easy deploys /
upgrades the Nginx.</p>
<p>For example, Nginx doesn't support override existing settings by loading
same parameter from another config file, in this case you should run <code>rm</code>
command in this file (<code>custom.sh</code>) to remove existing config file
generated by iRedMail Easy and store custom settings in another file.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/nginx/conf-enabled/</code>: additional Nginx global settings used inside <code>http {}</code> block.</p>
<ul>
<li>If you want to override a parameter which is already defined in
<code>/etc/nginx/conf-enabled/</code>, please update <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/nginx/custom.sh</code>
to remove file under <code>/etc/nginx/conf-enabled/</code> first, then write your
own config file under <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/nginx/conf-enabled/</code> to set
a proper value.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/nginx/sites-conf.d/default-ssl/</code>: additional settings for default https website (inside the <code>server {}</code> block).</p>
</li>
<li><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/nginx/sites-enabled/</code>: additional virtual web hosts.</li>
</ul>
<p>iRedMail uses the directory structure recommended by Debian/Ubuntu:</p>
<pre><code>/etc/nginx/ # all config files
|- conf-available/ # store settings used inside Nginx `http {}` block.
# Note: files under this directory are NOT
# loaded by Nginx directly.
|- conf-enabled/ # symbol links to files under `conf-available/`.
# Note: files under this directory are
# loaded by Nginx directly.
|- sites-available/ # store virtual web host config files.
# Note: files under this directory are NOT
# loaded by Nginx directly.
|- sites-enabled/ # symbol links to files under `sites-available/`.
# Note: files under this directory are
# loaded by Nginx directly.
|- sites-conf.d/
|- default-ssl/ # modular config files used by default
# virtual web host.
/opt/iredmail/custom/nginx/ # all custom config files.
|- conf-available/
|- conf-enabled/
|- sites-available/
|- sites-enabled/
|- custom.sh # shell script used for advanced customization
</code></pre>
<h3 id="postfix">Postfix</h3>
<p>Postfix doesn't support loading main settings (<code>main.cf</code> and <code>master.cf</code>) from
multiple files.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/postfix/main.cf</code>: If this file exists, <code>/etc/postfix/main.cf</code> will be a symbol link to this file.</li>
<li><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/postfix/master.cf</code>: If this file exists, <code>/etc/postfix/master.cf</code> will be a symbol link to this file.</li>
</ul>
<p>For other settings, Postfix is configured to load the one under
<code>/opt/iredmail/custom/postfix/</code> first (this should be maintained by you), then
another one from <code>/etc/postfix/</code> (maintained by iRedMail Easy and you should
NOT update them). If rule defined in first one matches, Postfix will skip the
second file.</p>
<p>For example, Postfix loads 2 files for HELO access check:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/postfix/helo_access.pcre</code>: You can add custom HELO
access rules in this file, or add rule to override the one defined in
<code>/etc/postfix/helo_access.pcre</code>. If access rule in this file matches,
Postfix will ignore the second (and all the rest) files.</li>
<li><code>/etc/postfix/helo_access.pcre</code>: This file is maintained by iRedMail Easy,
you should NOT modify it.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can find some other files for customization under
<code>/opt/iredmail/custom/postfix/</code>. For example:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/postfix/postscreen_access.cidr</code></li>
<li>
<p><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/postfix/custom.sh</code>: a bash shell script for advanced
customization. It will be ran each time your ran iRedMail Easy deployment or
upgrade.</p>
<p>For example, to change setting <code>enable_original_recipient</code> to <code>yes</code>
(defaults to <code>no</code> set in <code>/etc/postfix/main.cf</code>), you can write one shell
command in <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/postfix/custom.sh</code> like below:</p>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>postconf -e enable_original_recipient=yes
</code></pre>
<p>To update settings in <code>master.cf</code>, you can run <code>postconf -M</code> and
<code>postconf -P</code>. For example, create new transport <code>submission</code>:</p>
<pre><code>postconf -M submission/inet=&quot;submission inet n - n - - smtpd&quot;
postconf -P &quot;submission/inet/syslog_name=postfix/submission&quot;
postconf -P &quot;submission/inet/smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt&quot;
postconf -P &quot;submission/inet/smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes&quot;
postconf -P &quot;submission/inet/smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject&quot;
postconf -P &quot;submission/inet/content_filter=smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10026

<h3 id="dovecot">Dovecot</h3>
<p>Dovecot supports loading from mulitple config files, and settings will be
overrode by the last one.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/dovecot/conf-enabled/</code>: store custom Dovecot settings.</li>
<li><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/dovecot/custom.sh</code>: a bash shell script used for advanced customization</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="roundcube">Roundcube</h3>
<h4 id="custom-global-settings">Custom global settings</h4>
<p>All your custom settings should be placed in
<strong><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/roundcube/custom.inc.php</code></strong>, and do <strong>NOT</strong>
touch main config file <code>/opt/www/roundcubemail/config/config.inc.php</code>.</p>
<h4 id="third-party-or-custom-plugins">Third-party or custom plugins</h4>
<p>All third-party or custom plugins should be placed under <strong><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/roundcube/plugins/</code></strong>.</p>
<p>Plugins will be linked to <code>/opt/www/roundcubemail/plugins/</code> automatically
during iRedMail Easy deployment, but you need to create the symbol
link manually if you don't want to run another deployment.</p>
<h4 id="custom-settings-for-official-plugins">Custom settings for official plugins</h4>
<p>iRedMail Easy enables 2 official plugins by default:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>password</code>: used by end users to change their own passwords.</li>
<li><code>managesieve</code>: used by end users to custom mail filter rules.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you have custom settings for plugins enabled by iRedMail Easy, please
put the custom settings in file
<code>/opt/iredmail/custom/roundcube/config_&lt;plugin_name&gt;.inc.php</code>.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>For <code>password</code> plugin: <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/roundcube/config_password.inc.php</code></li>
<li>For <code>managesieve</code> plugin: <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/roundcube/config_managesieve.inc.php</code></li>
</ul>
<p>If you have custom settings for plugin which is not enabled by iRedMail
Easy, please append a line to
<code>/opt/www/roundcubemail/plugins/&lt;plugin-name&gt;/config.inc.php</code> like below:</p>
<pre><code>require_once &quot;/opt/iredmail/custom/roundcube/config_&lt;plugin&gt;.inc.php&quot;;
</code></pre>
<p>Then put all custom settings for this plugin to <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/roundcube/config_&lt;plugin&gt;.inc.php</code>.</p>
<p>For example, if you have custom settings for official plugin <code>enigma</code>, you
should append this line to <code>/opt/www/roundcubemail/plugins/enigma/config.inc.php</code>:</p>
<pre><code>require_once &quot;/opt/iredmail/custom/roundcube/config_enigma.inc.php&quot;;
</code></pre>
<p>Then put all custom settings for plugin <code>enigma</code> to
<code>/opt/iredmail/custom/roundcube/config_enigma.inc.php</code>.</p>
<p>This way if iRedMail Easy enables the plugin, it will successfully load
your own custom settings and not mess it up.</p>
<h4 id="custom-skins">Custom skins</h4>
<p>All third-party or custom skins should be placed under <strong><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/roundcube/skins/</code></strong>.</p>
<p>Skins will be linked to <code>/opt/www/roundcubemail/skins/</code> automatically
during iRedMail Easy deployment, but you need to create the symbol link
manually if you don't want to run another deployment.</p>
<h3 id="sogo">SOGo</h3>
<p>SOGo doesnt support directive like <code>include</code> to load extra settings
from multiple files, so you have to either maintain your own SOGo config
file (<code>/opt/iredmail/custom/sogo/sogo.conf</code>) or use the <code>custom.sh</code>
shell script to do some customization based on the config file generated by
iRedMail Easy platform.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>File <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/sogo/sogo.conf</code></p>
<p>If this file exists, <code>/etc/sogo/sogo.conf</code> will be created as a symbol link
to this file during iRedMail Easy deployment.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Shell script <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/sogo/custom.sh</code></p>
<p>A bash shell script for advanced customization, you can customize SOGo
config file with shell commands organized in this file.</p>
<p>This file will be ran by iRedMail Easy deployment each time it deploys
or upgrade SOGo component.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="iredapd">iRedAPD</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>File <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/iredapd/settings.py</code></p>
<p>All custom settings must be stored in this file.
It will be linked to <code>/opt/www/iredapd/custom_settings.py</code> during iRedMail
Easy deployment or upgrade.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="iredadmin">iRedAdmin</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>File <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/iredadmin/settings.py</code></p>
<p>All custom settings must be stored in this file.
It will be linked to <code>/opt/www/iredadmin/custom_settings.py</code> during iRedMail
Easy deployment or upgrade.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="amavisd">Amavisd</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/amavisd/amavisd.conf</code></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="fail2ban">Fail2ban</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/fail2ban/jail.local</code>: used to override settings in
<code>[DEFAULT]</code> section of main fail2ban config file. For example, <code>maxretry</code>, <code>findtime</code>, <code>bantime</code>,
<code>ignoreip</code>.</li>
<li><code>/opt/iredmail/custom/dovecot/custom.sh</code>: used for advanced customization.
for example, if you have some new jails, you can write jail config files under
<code>/opt/iredmail/custom/fail2ban/</code> too (you're free to create sub-folder to
store the jail config files), then use <code>custom.sh</code> to create symbol link
of jails you want to enable under <code>/etc/fail2ban/jail.d/</code>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="backup">Backup</h2>
<ul>
<li>iRedMail Easy generates daily cron jobs to backup mail accounts and SQL/LDAP
databases (stored under <code>/var/vmail/backup/</code> by default), but not mailboxes, you
need to backup mailboxes yourself.</li>
<li>Files under <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/</code> contain all your custom settings. If you need to
restore a iRedMail Easy server to another one, please copy <code>/opt/iredmail/custom/</code>
to new server first, then perform the iRedMail Easy deployment.</li>
