The script installs Docker if needed and starts SnappyMail on port 8226, storing its data in a mounted volume. On first start it generates an admin password saved to a file inside that data folder.
sudo bash snappymail-ubuntu.sh4 Open the Admin Panel and Add Your Mail Domain
Retrieve the admin password from the data folder, open the admin panel at /?admin to configure your IMAP/SMTP server, then log in to webmail with any account on it:
