dovecot/dovecot repository overview
Instructions for 2.4
This image comes with default configuration which accepts any user with password pass. To persist data, mount /srv/mail volumes. You can also mount extra configuration to override the default settings to /etc/dovecot/conf.d.

TLS certificates go to /etc/dovecot/ssl, and by default full-chain certificate filename is tls.crt and private key file is tls.key.

To run read-only, remember to mount tmpfs to /tmp and /run, and persistent data storage to /srv/vmail.

If you want to run without any extra linux capabilities, set chroot= to services imap-login, pop3-login, submission-login and managesieve-login.
