Maybe start over with your configuration. Start with default setup, see if everything is running and then start changing the configuration step by step, see when it goes wrong. I saw you have some ldap configs, maybe outside communication fails, acls? sff level? I saw you were using this el7. I am also fan of using 'professional supported' distributions like el7/centos7. But have a look at this alpine linux. My dovecot-proxy container is only 30MB vs 300MB on el7.

I'm running the docker with the logging to the host. I have used the same options you have specified. The problem is that the below processes are not running inside docker container whereas the standalone dovecot is running these processes(meaning without container) dovecot-Dovecot/auth dovecot-Dovecot/ssl-params dovecot-Director/lmtp dovecot-Director/ssl-params dovecot-Director/imap-login director Thanks & Regards, Naveen On Mon, Dec 30, 2019 at 3:16 PM > wrote: If you are running your container as root. You will not have the issues I encountered. Dovecot is dropping to the 'dovecot' and 'dovenull'(?) when needed, this is fine. PS. I would not recommend using internal logging, use something like this to log to the host or remote syslog. docker run -v /dev/log:/dev/log -it dovecot-proxy -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: Issue running Dovecot in Docker Container Hi Marc, I can see the processes are running as a root in container environment. Do you think that still have issues ? Here is the processes running inside container: bash-4.2# ps -ef UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 1 0 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /bootstrap.sh root 7 1 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dovecot -F -c /etc/dovecot/director.conf root 8 1 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dovecot -F root 9 1 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:00 sleep 36000d dovecot 10 8 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:00 dovecot-Dovecot/anvil dovecot 14 7 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:00 dovecot-Director/anvil root 267 8 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:00 dovecot-Dovecot/log root 269 8 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:08 dovecot-Dovecot/config root 281 7 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:00 dovecot-Director/log root 283 7 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:00 dovecot-Director/config Thanks & Regards, Naveen
