ProtonMail IMAP/SMTP Bridge Docker Container

This container is part of our Link helpdesk stack. You may use it independently of that stack, but we probably won't support you doing that.

Initial Setup

  1. Launch the interactive shell:

    # Make sure the systemd service is not running
    systemctl --user stop protonmail-bridge
    # Start the container manually with the init command
    podman run -it --name protonmail-bridge --replace --volume ~/protonmail-data:/data:rw,Z --network zammad guardianproject.dev/sr2/protonmail-bridge-docker:latest init
    
  2. Login with the login command.

  3. Find the generated IMAP/SMTP password with the info command.

  4. Exit the shell with the exit command and restart the systemd service:

    systemctl --user restart protonmail-bridge
    

systemd service

That systemd service is part of our infrastructure as code for the Link helpdesk if you're curious.
