# Inbucket



Inbucket is an email testing service; it will accept messages for any email

address and make them available via web, REST and POP3 interfaces.  Once

compiled, Inbucket does not have any external dependencies - HTTP, SMTP, POP3

and storage are all built in.



A Go client for the REST API is available in

`github.com/inbucket/inbucket/pkg/rest/client` - [Go API docs]

## Development Status



Inbucket is currently production quality: it is being used for real work.



Please see the [Change Log] and [Issues List] for more details.  If you'd like

to contribute code to the project check out [CONTRIBUTING.md].



## Docker



Inbucket has automated [Docker Image] builds via Docker Hub.  The `latest` tag

tracks our tagged releases, and `edge` tracks our potentially unstable

`main` branch.



## Building from Source



You will need functioning [Go] and [Node.js] installations for this to work.



```sh

git clone https://github.com/inbucket/inbucket.git

cd inbucket/ui

yarn install

yarn build

cd ..

go build ./cmd/inbucket

```



For more information on building and development flows, check out the

[Development Quickstart] page of our wiki.



### Configure and Launch



Inbucket reads its configuration from environment variables, but comes with

reasonable defaults built-in.  It should work on most Unix and OS X machines as

is.  Launch the daemon:



```sh

./inbucket

```



By default the SMTP server will be listening on localhost port 2500 and

the web interface will be available at [localhost:9000](http://localhost:9000/).



See doc/[config.md] for more information on configuring Inbucket, but you will

likely find the [Configurator] tool the easiest way to generate a configuration.
