# docker_imapgrab
[](https://github.com/maxkratz/docker_imapgrab/actions/workflows/build.yml)
*Unofficial* imapgrab Dockerfile for backing up all folders of an imap server.
## Quickstart
After installing docker, just run the following command:
```sh
docker pull maxkratz/imapgrab:latest
```
## Environment variables
You can use the following environment variables for customization of this container:
```sh
MAILHOST # Hostname of the imap server
MAILUSER # Login-Name (mailbox)
MAILPASSWORD # Password (mailbox)
MAILFOLDER # Subfolder for creating the backup
MAILLOG # If set to true, container will create a log instead of using console output
```
## Mount volumes or bind folders
One may mount a folder of the host to **/mnt** within the container to enable persistent backups of imap servers.
* **/mnt/mail** will be used as backup target.
* **/mnt/log** will be used as log target (if environment variable is set).
## Full example command
```sh
docker run -it -e "MAILHOST=mail.example.net" -e "[email protected]" -e "MAILPASSWORD=secure123" -e "MAILFOLDER=mybackup" -e "MAILLOG=TRUE" -v /home/maxkratz/email-backups/:/mnt maxkratz/imapgrab:latest
```
Creates a backup of all files and folders of the mailbox **[email protected]** with password **secure123** at host **mail.example.net** inclusive logs into subfolder **mybackup**.
