Email archiving provides lots of benefits to your company. Piler is a feature rich open source email archiving solution, and a viable alternative to commercial email archiving products; check out the comparison with Mailarchiva.
Piler has a nice GUI written in PHP supporting several authentication methods (AD/LDAP, SSO, Google OAuth, 2 FA, IMAP, POP3).

• archiving and retention rules
• legal hold
• deduplication
• digital fingerprinting and verification
• full text search
• tagging emails
• view, export, restore emails
• bulk import/export messages
• audit logs
• Google Apps
• Office 365

Can you specify inwhat way poorly?

[A Former User]

App crashed in my browser upon login. Repeatedly.

[A Former User]

@necrevistonnezr Where you ever able to get it working?

I just tried their demo website which worked fine. I did not try to install it.

@necrevistonnezr Perhaps its a browser thing. I was using Brave. I'll try again with something else. Cheers

Hello, I'm the maintainer of the piler project. Since this topic is 2+ years old, I'm not sure, if there's an interest to have piler as a cloudron app. Anyway, the application is already dockerized, see https://bitbucket.org/jsuto/piler/src/master/docker/ for more.

Basically it's a 3 container setup having mysql, memcached and piler. I believe that it can be customized to run on cloudron.

[marcusquinn]

@jsuto Nice project and welcome to Cloudron!

I can see value in this, are you packaging it as a Cloudron App or hoping for the community to?

[jsuto]

@marcusquinn Well, for the moment I'm not packaging it. First, I wanted to discover if there's an interest in the project as a cloudron app. Anyway, I'm new to cloudron, so I guess the community could do it much faster.

[marcusquinn]

@jsuto I'm interested if clients are, it's certainly a feature Cloudron doesn't already cover, lends itself better to being an app for multi-provider mail archiving, and is important for business compliance expectations.

Most are on either Microsoft Exchange or Google Vault for these things. Difficult to cost-compare when they obfuscate feature pricing by bundling but It certainly looks like you have a capable alternative.

For interest, I tested the Demo, and have the localcdn.org extension installed by default, so had to enable "HTML Filtering" for the UI to work, maybe something to look at, although I admit I'm a less common setup as most users aren't concerned about CDN privacy.

[jsuto]

@marcusquinn Er, I'm confused. What should I fix to make the localcdn plugin happy?

[marcusquinn]

@jsuto Not checked but it's probably something referenced to pull from a CDN than your own server.

Anything with one of these URLs in the code would be what that extension is designed to use a local version of:

ajax.googleapis.com
ajax.aspnetcdn.com
ajax.microsoft.com
cdnjs.cloudflare.com
code.jquery.com
cdn.jsdelivr.net
fonts.googleapis.com
yastatic.net
yandex.st
apps.bdimg.com
libs.baidu.com
cdn.staticfile.org
cdn.bootcss.com
mat1.gtimg.com
lib.sinaapp.com
upcdn.b0.upaiyun.com
stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com
maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com
netdna.bootstrapcdn.com
use.fontawesome.com
ajax.cloudflare.com
akamai-webcdn.kgstatic.net
gitcdn.github.io
vjs.zencdn.net
cdn.plyr.io
sdn.geekzu.org
ajax.proxy.ustclug.org
unpkg.com
pagecdn.io
cdn.css.net
cdnjs.loli.net
ajax.loli.net
fonts.loli.net
lib.baomitu.com
cdn.bootcdn.net

Not a big deal as anyone using that extension would probabaly know to try again with it bypassed ("HTML Filtering"), just for your awareness really.

@vladimir-d is working on packaging this for us all.

Expressions of interested and testing volunteers welcome.

[timconsidine]

@marcusquinn I'd be interested, if I can help

[vladimir.d]

Mailpiler app for cloudron is here, built based on the original docker configuration.
https://git.cloudron.io/vladimir.d/mailpiler

Comments are very welcome.

[marcusquinn]

@jsuto You still with us? Want to give this a spin?

I have a couple of questions on the app, shall we discuss in the open here for the benefit of the community that I'm sure will enjoy championing this addition from your great work for you.

[luckow]

@marcusquinn open please

@vladimir-d Feedback :
I tried building the app from the git address
I got error as below

=> ERROR [ 6/10] ADD config/nginx /app/data/nginx                                                                              0.0s
------
 > [ 6/10] ADD config/nginx /app/data/nginx:
------
failed to compute cache key: "/config/nginx" not found: not found

I fixed this by creating a directory 'nginx' in 'mailpiler-master/conf' and copied the 'nginx.conf from its location couple layers below
Building then continued correctly.
Other errors found which I am investigating

@vladimir-d Feedback on building :
After sorting out nginx.conf location, there is long list of building information until :

I can't see what is wrong but will continue looking.
With such long combined commands ("&&"), it is difficult to identify on which command it is failing.

Oh, BTW, I am building locally on a Mac Big Sur and using my docker registry.
But didn't get as far as pushing it there yet.
