Bug#825562: dovecot-imapd: service fail to start at boot time
This is a problem after upgrading to 'stretch' which is the 'stable' release now. Dovecot starts before the network is up. i used a modified fix from RH: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1309946 What works for me in debian stretch: create file /etc/systemd/system/dovecot.service with the content ~~ .include /lib/systemd/system/dovecot.service [Unit] After=network-online.target ~~

Dear Maintainer,
At machine startup, dovecot-imap fail telling:

manually restarting the service after boot works
I suppose this is related to systemd not starting the network interface before
starting
the dovecot-imap daemon?
Indeed, it looks like 192.168.0.36 has not been assigned (yet?) to the
interface. Do you use /etc/network/interfaces
here is my /etc/network/interfaces (I installed this box, a arm SOC
wandboard with the debian-stretch
installer a few months ago)
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
or systemd-networkd for
interface configuration? Can you provide the contents of
/etc/network/interfaces or /etc/systemd/network/* respectively?
/etc/systemd/network/ is empty
Also,
can you please provide the output of
systemd-analyze dot dovecot.service network.target

Indeed, it looks like 192.168.0.36 has not been assigned (yet?) to the interface. Do you use /etc/network/interfaces or systemd-networkd for interface configuration? Can you provide the contents of /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/systemd/network/* respectively? Also, can you please provide the output of systemd-analyze dot dovecot.service network.target As a workaround you could either use non-local binds (echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_nonlocal_bind) or bind to the wildcard address (0.0.0.0) if that's okay with your setup.
