pflogsumm

A dead simple image to use pflogsumm in your docker environment. :-)

Dependencies to add

• Docker
• Postfix with logging to volume enabled
• A cup of the best coffee you can find and 30 mins ;-) ** 10 min for setup ** 20 min coffee time

Quckstart

This repo is available as builded image at hub.docker.com: https://hub.docker.com/r/codeadmin/pflogsumm

To use this image simply run the following command:

docker run --rm --name pflogsumm --volume mailserver_log:/maillog:ro codeadmin/pflogsumm

You'll get a summary for today as output to your terminal.

The container will assume the postfix log in /maillog/mail.log. This should cover most configurations, because the default name for mail activity logs is mail.log

Usage

The default values are -d today /maillog/mail.log. This will generate a report for today and pflogsumm will find the log at /maillog/mail.log. This command runs when you start the container without additional parameters.

Perhaps you want to get a report and the log file is called "mymail.log"? No Problem - just add it like this: -d today /maillog/mymail.log

The complete command could be: docker run --rm --name pflogsumm --volume mailserver_log:/maillog:ro codeadmin/pflogsumm -d today /maillog/mymail.log

Feel free to start the container with some other options. It's your choice.

Docker Volume

maillog:ro: Mount the volume of your mailserver log dir into this location. This container doesn't need write privileges, so it's save to mount it read-only (:ro).
