Mailcow in Debian VM

StrawberryCow

I’m trying to set up mailcow on a Debian Server which is running as a VM on Windows 11. I previously managed to recreate this setup with an Ubuntu VM which allowed me to access the GUI on the host system. With Debian that doesn’t seem to work anymore. Has anyone ever tried such a setup and managed to make it work?

StrawberryCow my Mailcow is running on Debian 12 without problems

DocFraggle Well I’m trying to run it in a VM and access the GUI on my host so I don’t have to Install the GUI on the Debian Server. Do you have a similar setup?

DocFraggle

StrawberryCow so I don’t have to Install the GUI on the Debian Server.

What do you mean? Which GUI are you talking about? You install the mailcow stack on your Debian VM and access it via the VM’s internal IP from your Windows 11 host

DocFraggle I actually managed to make it work. What I meant was I did not want to install a Desktop environment on my server. Somehow it worked now.
