enable and expose the doveadm http api to manage mailbox sharing

michaelmandint

Hello all,
i’m trying to figure a way to manage user mailboxes sharing in a better way than the current sogo pita. While trying my luck with google ai, i found out about doveadm being able to achieve this and also the fact that doveadm has an http api. Has anyone tried to implement usage of the doveadm http api in the current dockerized mailcow? if so, how one would properly modify the docker config to make it work ?

Maybe ansible is better using existing methods:

https://docs.mailcow.email/manual-guides/Dovecot/u_e-dovecot-more/

docker-compose exec dovecot-mailcow doveadm [command]

esackbauer Thanks, i understand this allow to run doveadm cmd from the docker host into the container. I didn’t mention it, but i need to run them from authentik, and it apparently doesn’t support ssh from it’s python rule engine, it does however support https request, so talking to the doveadm http api directly seems better than feeding docker exec into ssh with some middleware

Question would be if that would work if you manipulate dovecot without going through SOGo, as SOGo might not reflect changes in its UI.

Maybe trying SOGo API? Unfortunately one has to build it, its not readily available:

sudo npm install -g apidoc
cd sogo.git
apidoc -f ".*\\.m" -i UI -o Documentation/JSON-API
# then open Documentation/JSON-API/index.html in Browser

esackbauer that’s a good question. i’ll try with what i’m getting from google ai and see how far it goes. according to what i’ve read, yes, sogo should™ sync from the imap rights. –edit, it does

i’ll take a look at the sogo api too might be even better
