Very interesting stuff. I would encourage you to add Readme.md to your repository, containing at least what you've summarized here. This would make for a nice addition to the Cyrus documentation, but would need a bit more explanation on your part, first, so whomever prepares the docs for the Cyrus project doesn't misrepresent anything you've done.
Some questions:
- You've gone to the trouble to add the certificate infrastructure for Postfix, but not for Cyrus. Any reason for that?
- What I'm referring to here is the nginx
proxy support for the Let's Encrypt stuff (at least I assume
that's what you're using)
- Your Postfix configuration contains support
for the deprecated Cyrus 'deliver' program as well as LMTP.
- If Postfix & Cyrus are separate
containers, then 'deliver' won't work.
Nice work!

Hello!
I finally got the basic stuff working on Docker and deployed through Docker swarm. That is what I learnt (or I think I learnt)
* a basic mail solution having Cyrus needs 4 containers (imapd, saslauthd, rsyslog and postfix)* sharing rsyslog socket on all containers is needed to have logs* saslauthd socket needs to be shared on imapd and postfix containers, to have authentication* imapd exposes lmtp socket, that needs to be shared with postfix, to receive emails
Other stuff
* Saslauthd is using OpenLDAP* Postfix uses letsencrypt generated certificate
Next challenges
* Run OpenDKIM container and tie it o Postfix* Work with virtualdomains* Have a spam solution* Convert the docker-compose.yml to a kubernetes equivalent (so scary)
If anyone have some minutes to take a look at https://github.com/fabiomontefuscolo/wikisuite-swarm/tree/master/global-services and give some thoughts, it would be awesome.
Thank you!!

Hi Niels
Thank you very much for looking into this.
Initially, I would like to get this working like I got in a real CentOS 8. I have here a virtual machine where I did the same steps I did in Dockerfile. But in VM I start services "systemctl start cyrus-imapd" and "systemctl start saslauthd" and basic login works out of the box. I could telnet on port 143 and ". login cyrus cyrus". That is not happening on Docker.
I hope other people using the image can write their own config and mount inside the container to achieve their needs. The plan is to have some kubernetes recipes I can repeat whenever we get a new client wondering to have an email service. Actually I'm testing it on DO, but using kubernetes should be simple to move to AWS, Linode or any other kubernetes hosting.
Thank you

as far as i can read in that dockerfile on a first view, it does only install
dependencies and "activating" SSL/TLS, but lacks any kind of further required
configuration for cyrus auth etc.
the flexibility and complexity of cyrus installations are not easy to
"capsule" into a docker file or reciept for a "common usage".
depending on what kind of authentication subsystem (i.e. mysql, pam, ldap,
pam_mysql, sasl, saslauthd (with pam or other "backend") you want to use or
even active AD or others you have to configure that by hand (or extend that
docker file).
a typical "easy" way is using saslauthd with -s pam to "simply" use pam
authentication.
hth,
niels.
