Mail and Volumes
-
Hi, I have looked around on here for answers and have not found much. Also I am not very knowledgeable about linux etc.
I have a volume mounted as filesystem and have a few domains running on this cloudron service. I have alot of email data for these domains and would like to move it to the volume. Is this possible? I have tried doing it for one domain via the roundcube app thats installed for that induvidual domain, by going into app and under the storage tab and moving it that way but it does not work.
I suspect I am misunderstanding how the system is setup. Can someone please enlighten me?
Thanks -
Mails are stored in the mail server . Apps like roundcube are just frontends and don't store mail data in the app themselves.
We don't have a easy way to move just mail data to a separate volume (i.e not via the UI).
You can symlink the boxdata folder (The mail is stored in boxdata/mail . IMPORTANT: you have to symlink boxdata. symlinking mail won't work) . https://docs.cloudron.io/storage/#default-data-directory . As noted in the docs, this will work but it's not "supported" . I think we have to implement this feature is a proper fashion to make it supported.
