# Run Mail2Most as a service
You can run Mail2Most using docker, docker-compose or as a systemd service.
## docker
[docker-hub link](https://hub.docker.com/r/virtomize/mail2most)

docker run \
-v /path/to/mail2most.conf:/mail2most/conf/mail2most.conf \
virtomize/mail2most:latest
```

docker run \
-v $(pwd)/conf/mail2most.conf:/mail2most/conf/mail2most.conf \
virtomize/mail2most:latest
```
> [!NOTE]
> The `latest` tag image is rebuild on a daily base to get newest OS package updates inside the docker image.
## docker-compose
[docker-hub link](https://hub.docker.com/r/virtomize/mail2most)
Using docker-compose you can just edit the `conf/mail2most.conf` or change the path inside the docker-compose.yml to your config:

```
then just start a container user
```
docker-compose up -d

## Common problems
**Problem: mail2most crashes after profile changes**
Solution: This happens when the data.json is not consistent to the config changes. Delete data.json to solve this problem.
**Problem: Channel contains special characters mattermost can not found the channel**
Solution: Mattermost does not support special characters for channel names, only in display names. To find the correct channel name use the last part of the url found under `view info`
