Volume import data not retained.

Volume import data not retained.

Did you mount a volume in the docker-compose.yml file for /var/opt/mailarchiva?

[joshuaneedham]

Thank you for responding so quickly. I did not change anything. If you don't mind I'm still working on figuring out all of this docker stuff so and example would be great. Thank you in advance.

The default docker-compose from this repo is already configured to mount to the correct location.
If you used that your data should have been retained and subsequent docker compose up -d runs should resume like normal.

I imported 48+k emails over the course of 3-4 days and there are only 60 total showing now. Not really sure what happened.

[JoKneeMo]

I would try running an import for a shorter time and then restart the container to see what happens.
It may help to post your compose file and the commands you're running.

So initially I tried the OOTB cloned repo and all the imports went well as mentioned above other than taking a very long time but that's expected. Then I tried setting another location for the config stuff using the docker-compose below and it was just automatically ignoring all imports into the volume. It's more than likely a lack of understanding of MailArchiva and Docker on my part. I am running this on an external SSD if that makes a difference.

The commands run are those in your instructions:

Build:
docker compose build

Run:
docker compose up -d

  mailarchiva:
    image: jokneemo/mailarchiva:8.11.68
    restart: unless-stopped
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    volumes:
      - /Volumes/MailArchiva/config/config:/etc/opt/mailarchiva
      - /Volumes/MailArchiva/config/appdata:/var/opt/mailarchiva
    environment:
      CATALINA_OPTS: -Dproxy=yes
    ports:
      - 8091:8091/tcp # SMTP
      - 8092:8092/tcp # Milter
