# ---- ihasmail server configuration ----

# Base URL of your Stalwart server (scheme + host, no path). ihasmail discovers
# the JMAP session at <STALWART_URL>/.well-known/jmap.

HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=8080

# Serve the app from a subpath instead of the domain root, for a reverse proxy
# that maps https://example.com/mail/ here. Leave it unset for the root, which
# is what every deployment gets unless it asks otherwise. "/mail", "mail" and
# "/mail/" all mean the same thing.
#
# The prefix must reach ihasmail intact -- do not strip it in the proxy -- and
# it has to be set for the *build* as well as the run: the web bundle writes
# its own asset URLs, so a build that does not know the prefix produces an app
# that cannot load itself under one. With Docker that means
# `--build-arg BASE_PATH=/mail` alongside `-e BASE_PATH=/mail`.
# BASE_PATH=/mail

# Set to "1" when running behind a TLS-terminating reverse proxy (trusts
# X-Forwarded-* and marks cookies Secure). Set to "0" for plain-HTTP dev.
TRUST_PROXY=1
# Peers whose X-Forwarded-* headers are believed. Unset means loopback and the
# private ranges, which covers a reverse proxy on the same host or Docker
# network. A request from anywhere else is attributed to its socket address,
# whatever the headers claim -- otherwise anyone could pick their own key for
# the login rate limiter.
# TRUSTED_PROXIES=10.0.0.0/8,192.168.1.5

# Where to persist sessions so restarts don't log everyone out (optional).
# Leave it empty to hold sessions in memory only, which is what an immutable
# instance does -- see IMMUTABLE below.
SESSION_FILE=./data/sessions.json

# Assert that this instance is running as an immutable container: read-only
# root filesystem, no durable state of its own. It is checked rather than
# taken on trust -- the server refuses to start if SESSION_FILE is set, or if
# the filesystem it is installed on turns out to be writable. Off by default.
# Running one looks like:
#   docker run --read-only --tmpfs /tmp -e IMMUTABLE=1 -e SESSION_FILE= ...
# The cost today is that a restart signs everyone out, since there is nowhere
# left to keep the sessions. Removing that cost is what the OAuth work is for.

# In-app administration, for accounts whose Stalwart role manages accounts and
# domains. 0 turns it off for everyone: no menu, and the JMAP proxy refuses
# Stalwart's registry methods beyond an account's own password, app passwords
# and settings. Stalwart's own admin interface is not affected.

# Where this instance's source can be had. ihasmail is AGPL-3.0-or-later, which
# asks whoever runs a modified version to offer *that* version's source -- so if
# you have patched it, point this at your own tree. Shown on the sign-in page
# and in Settings > About.

# ---- Settings this installation decides (all optional) ----
#
# Seed what a new account starts on, lock what nobody may change, and turn
# something on once for accounts that already exist. Setting none of these --
# the default -- behaves exactly as ihasmail always has.
#
# A file is easier once there are `changes` in it. See the shipped
# settings-policy.example.json, and mount it read-only:
#
#   -v /srv/ihasmail/policy.json:/etc/ihasmail/policy.json:ro
#
# SETTINGS_POLICY_FILE=/etc/ihasmail/policy.json
#
# Or inline, which is what an immutable deployment with no volume wants. These
# are ignored entirely when SETTINGS_POLICY_FILE is set, so a file and a stray
# variable cannot half-apply between them.
#
# SETTINGS_DEFAULTS={"externalSenderBanner":true}
# SETTINGS_ENFORCED={"externalRecipientConfirm":true}
# SETTINGS_CHANGES=[{"version":"20260902084513","settings":{"externalSenderBanner":true}}]
#
# Read once at startup: editing a policy means restarting the container.

# ---- Several Stalwart servers (optional) ----
#
# Choose the upstream by the domain someone signs in with. STALWART_URL above
# stays required and stays the default; this only adds domains that go
# elsewhere. See the shipped stalwart-servers.example.json, and mount it
# read-only:
#
#   -v /srv/ihasmail/servers.json:/etc/ihasmail/servers.json:ro
#
# STALWART_SERVERS_FILE=/etc/ihasmail/servers.json
#
# An unlisted domain, or a username with no domain, goes to STALWART_URL. A
# listed domain never falls back. Read once at startup: editing means a restart.
