Docker Install - No Inbound Email Capability

[theaustinayers]

Hello,

I just installed the Resgrid Docker Compose core on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 system and while we had some hiccups with the SQL server not being readily compatible with what was provided in the docker-compose.yml - I am learning that we have no inbound email on the Docker side.

Documentation is severely lacking as we tried to see the process of where we could route the emails for in the Stations Groups once they were created.

Can we please get some assistance on this as the email system is not installed with docker, and when installing Postfix, it is not working either.

Thanks for opening this issue. A contributor should be by to give feedback soon. In the meantime, please check out the contributing guidelines.

Hey @theaustinayers,
What issue did you have with SQL Server. We use https://postmarkapp.com for inbound email processing, which should work out of the box if you want to use it for inbound and outbound email. We don't supply any email server (inbound or outbound) as part of the setups (as currently we only use Postmark so it's hard to test and validate those paths anymore).

We did have a solution I was working toward a while ago: https://github.com/Resgrid/EmailProcessor. However, it hasn't been dockerized yet and would require some fiddling and a Windows box to sit on. It also still uses the V3 API, which I'm in the process of deprecating.
