New subject: Issue running Dovecot in Docker Container

30 Dec 2019


      Hi Marc,
I can see the processes are running as a root in container environment. Do
you think that still have issues ?
Here is the processes running inside container:
bash-4.2# ps -ef
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
root         1     0  0 Dec27 ?        00:00:00 /bin/bash /bootstrap.sh
root         7     1  0 Dec27 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dovecot -F -c
/etc/dovecot/director.conf
root         8     1  0 Dec27 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dovecot -F
root         9     1  0 Dec27 ?        00:00:00 sleep 36000d
dovecot     10     8  0 Dec27 ?        00:00:00 dovecot-Dovecot/anvil
dovecot     14     7  0 Dec27 ?        00:00:00 dovecot-Director/anvil
root       267     8  0 Dec27 ?        00:00:00 dovecot-Dovecot/log
root       269     8  0 Dec27 ?        00:00:08 dovecot-Dovecot/config
root       281     7  0 Dec27 ?        00:00:00 dovecot-Director/log
root       283     7  0 Dec27 ?        00:00:00 dovecot-Director/config
Thanks & Regards,
Naveen

I have noticed several issues with dovecot, trying to run it without
root. Which is preferable in any container environment. Maybe you would
like me to document these somewhere? So at some point they can be
applied.

Hi, I can see those values correctly with the doveconf -nc command. Here
is the part of output:
bash-4.2# doveconf -nc /etc/dovecot/director.conf # 2.2.36 (1f10bfa63):

    Can you check with `doveconf -nc /path/to/director.conf` that the
values are actually set correctly?

            The conf.d files are not included. I have added  !include
conf.d/*.conf to director.conf and reloaded the dovecot and director
services.
            conf.d/10-logging also has the following lines:

            log_path = /dovecot.log
            info_log_path = $log_path
            debug_log_path = $log_path


            The /dovecot.log file still shows empty.  Nothing is being
logged to that file.

                    Do you have !include or !try_include in
director.conf?
The conf.d files are not included otherwise.

                                            We need help with an issue
that we are
running into when we are trying to run Dovecot in Docker container.
Also how do we enable
debugging for
dovecot. Logs doesn't show any info about the issue.
                                            Below processes are not
running when a
Director service is started:
