Attempting to use image, not working so far.

[jonathon2nd]

Hello! Just trying to see what I am doing wrong when attempting to use this image.
We just want inbound with a replay to a service, so should just be a simple setup.

env vars gotten from reading: https://github.com/mlan/docker-postfix?tab=readme-ov-file#usage

mail:
  image:
    repository: mlan/postfix
    pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
    # Overrides the image tag whose default is the chart appVersion.
    tag: "latest"
env:
    FORCE_CONFIG: OVERWRITE
    MAIL_DOMAIN: smtp.example.net
    MAIL_BOXES: "info@example.net abuse@example.net"
    SMTP_RELAY_HOSTAUTH: 127.0.0.1:2525

pv mounted at /srv/

mkdir -p /srv/etc/postfix /srv/etc/dovecot /srv/var/mail /srv/var/spool/postfix
cp -r /etc/postfix.dist/* /srv/etc/postfix/
chown -R root:root /srv/etc /srv/var

Seems like the init script does not setup the srv dir right or something. Setting up the pv manually seems to work.

Hello @jonathon2nd Please excuse my very late reply.

I guess there is an issue with the way volumes are handled in your setup. May I suggest that you study the demo and see if that helps you modify your docker-compose.yml recipe successfully. If not please paste your full docker-compose.yml recipe here.
