Mailcow update

I'm running Mailcow mail stack for my own domain. I wrote a blog post about Mailcow install here. I have to say that it is pretty nice mailstack for my personal use. It has a significant hardware requirements (2x CPU, 4 GB RAM, 100 GB HDD) but it works pretty well and the most important is that simplicity of operations because I do not want to spend hours with mail server administration.

I recently realized, my Mailcow stack is outdated and there are available updates. I decided to make my first Mailcow update and it was pretty straightforward. Here is the procedure.

 # Linux system update

apt update

# Installation of Command-line JSON processor, which is required for Mailcow update procedure 

apt install jq -y  

# Mailcow stack update 

cd  /opt/mailcow-dockerized
git pull
./update.sh

That's it. Update is done.

Conclusion

Mailcow update was very smooth and easy. Mailcow stack helps me significantly to operate my own mail server. It is amazing community effort.
