Dockerized Claws Mail

zeitgeist/docker-claws

Claws Mail (latest version) in a Docker container.

Requirements

• Docker 1.6+ (previous versions may work fine, but I haven't tried)
• An X11 socket

Installation

Get the trusted build on the docker hub:

$ docker pull zeitgeist/docker-claws

or download and compile the source yourself from Github:

$ git clone https://github.com/alexzeitgeist/docker-claws.git
$ cd docker-claws
$ docker build -t zeitgeist/docker-claws .

Usage

$ docker run --rm \
  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:ro \
  -e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY \
  zeitgeist/docker-claws

With persistent storage for settings and mail:

Create a folder, e.g. ${HOME}/claws. Then map it like this:

$ docker run --rm \
  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:ro \
  -e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY \
  -v "${HOME}/claws":"/home/user" \
