+Running a relay with externally managed certificates
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+If you already have a TLS certificate manager
+(e.g. Traefik, certbot, or another ACME client)
+running on the deployment server,
+you can configure the relay to use those certificates
+instead of the built-in ``acmetool``.
+
+Set the following in ``chatmail.ini``::
+
+    tls_external_cert_and_key = /path/to/fullchain.pem /path/to/privkey.pem
+
+The paths must point to certificate and key files
+on the deployment server.
+During ``cmdeploy run``, these paths are written into
+the Postfix, Dovecot, and Nginx configurations.
+No certificate files are transferred from the build machine —
+they must already exist on the server,
+managed by your external certificate tool.
+
+The deploy will verify that both files exist on the server.
+``acmetool`` is **not** installed or run in this mode.
+
+.. note::
+
+   You are responsible for certificate renewal.
+   When the certificate file changes on disk,
+   all relay services pick up the new certificate automatically
+   via a systemd path watcher installed during deploy.
+   The watcher uses inotify, which does not cross bind-mount boundaries.
+   If you use such a setup, you must trigger the reload explicitly after renewal::
+

+Configuring reverse DNS
+=======================
+
+Some email servers reject the emails
+if they don't pass `FCrDNS`_ check, also known as `iprev`_ check.
+
+.. _FCrDNS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward-confirmed_reverse_DNS
+.. _iprev: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8601#section-3
+
+Passing the check requires that the IP address that email is sent from
+should have a ``PTR`` record pointing to the domain name of the server,
+and domain name record should have an ``A/AAAA`` record
+pointing to the IP address.
+
+Modern email relies on DKIM and SPF for authentication,
+while iprev check exists for
+`historical reasons <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-reverse-mapping-considerations-06#section-2.1>`_.
+Chatmail relays don't resolve ``PTR`` records,
+so you can ignore this section if configuring ``PTR`` records
+is difficult and federation with legacy email servers that don't accept
+valid DKIM signature for authentication is not important.
+
+Multi-homed setups
+------------------
+
+If you have a server with multiple IP addresses,
+also known as multi-homed setup,
+and don't publish all IP addresses in DNS,
+you need to make sure you are using
+the published address when making outgoing connections.
+
+For example, your server may have a static IP
+address, and a so-called Floating IP or Virtual IP
+that can be moved between servers in case of
+migration or for failover.
+By using Floating IP you can avoid downtime
+and keep the IP address reputation
+for destinatinons that rely on IP reputation and IP blocklists.
+In this case you will only publish
+the Floating IP to DNS and only use the static IP
+to SSH into the server.
+
+If you have such setup, make sure that
+you not only set ``PTR`` records for the Floating IP,
+but make outgoing connections using the Floating IP.
+Otherwise reverse DNS check succeed,
+but forward check making sure your domain name points
+to the IP address will fail.
+Such setup is indistinguishable from someone
+setting IP address ``PTR`` with the domain they don't own
+and as a result don't succeed.
+
+On Linux you can configure source IP address with ``ip route`` command,
+for example:
+::
+
+  ip route change default via <default-gateway> dev eth0 src <source-address>
+
+Make sure to persist the change after verifying it is working.
+You can check what your outgoing IP address is
+with ``curl icanhazip.com``.
+Check both the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
+For IPv4 address use ``curl ipv4.icanhazip.com`` or ``curl -4 icanhazip.com``
+and similarly for IPv6 if you have it.

-# Known issues and limitations
-
-- Requires cgroups v2 configured in the system. Operation with cgroups v1 has not been tested.
-- Yes, of course, using systemd inside a container is a hack, and it would be better to split it into several services, but since this is an MVP, it turned out to be easier to do it this way initially than to rewrite the entire deployment system.
-- The Docker image is only suitable for amd64. If you need to run it on a different architecture, try modifying the Dockerfile (specifically the part responsible for installing dovecot).
-
-# Docker installation
-This section provides instructions for installing Chatmail using Docker Compose.
-
-**Note:** Docker Compose v2 is required (`docker compose`, not `docker-compose`) for its support of the `cgroup: host` option in `docker-compose.yaml` is only supported by Compose v2.
-[see documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/#install-using-the-repository)
-```shell
-apt install docker-ce docker-compose-plugin docker.io- docker-compose-
-```
-
-## Preliminary setup
-We use `chat.example.org` as the Chatmail domain in the following steps.
-Please substitute it with your own domain.
-
-1. Setup the initial DNS records.
-   The following is an example in the familiar BIND zone file format with
-   a TTL of 1 hour (3600 seconds).
-   Please substitute your domain and IP addresses.
-
-   ```
-    chat.example.com. 3600 IN A 198.51.100.5
-    chat.example.com. 3600 IN AAAA 2001:db8::5
-    www.chat.example.com. 3600 IN CNAME chat.example.com.
-    mta-sts.chat.example.com. 3600 IN CNAME chat.example.com.
-   ```
-
-2. clone the repository on your server.
-
-   ```shell
-    git clone https://github.com/chatmail/relay
-    cd relay
-   ```
-
-## Installation
-
-1. Configure kernel parameters because they cannot be changed inside the container, specifically `fs.inotify.max_user_instances` and `fs.inotify.max_user_watches`. Run the following:
-
-```shell
-echo "fs.inotify.max_user_instances=65536" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.d/99-inotify.conf
-echo "fs.inotify.max_user_watches=65536" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.d/99-inotify.conf
-sudo sysctl --system
-```
-
-2. Copy `./docker/example.env` and rename it to `.env`. This file stores variables used in `docker-compose.yaml`.
-
-```shell
-cp ./docker/example.env .env
-```
-
-3. Configure environment variables in the `.env` file. These variables are used in the `docker-compose.yaml` file to pass repeated values.
-   Below is the list of variables used during deployment:
-
-- `MAIL_DOMAIN` – The domain name of the future server. (required)
-- `DEBUG_COMMANDS_ENABLED` – Run debug commands before installation. (default: `false`)
-- `FORCE_REINIT_INI_FILE` – Recreate the ini configuration file on startup. (default: `false`)
-- `USE_FOREIGN_CERT_MANAGER` – Use a third-party certificate manager. (default: `false`)
-- `RECREATE_VENV` - Recreate the virtual environment (venv). If set to `true`, the environment will be recreated when the container starts, which will increase the startup time of the service but can help avoid certain errors. (default: `false`)
-- `INI_FILE` – Path to the ini configuration file. (default: `./chatmail.ini`)
-- `PATH_TO_SSL` – Path to where the certificates are stored. (default: `/var/lib/acme/live/${MAIL_DOMAIN}`)
-- `ENABLE_CERTS_MONITORING` – Enable certificate monitoring if `USE_FOREIGN_CERT_MANAGER=true`. If certificates change, services will be automatically restarted. (default: `false`)
-- `CERTS_MONITORING_TIMEOUT` – Interval in seconds to check if certificates have changed. (default: `'60'`)
-- `CMDEPLOY_STAGES` – Deployment stages to run on container start. (default: `"configure,activate"`). Set to `"install,configure,activate"` to force a full reinstall.
-
-You can also use any variables from the [ini configuration file](https://github.com/chatmail/relay/blob/main/chatmaild/src/chatmaild/ini/chatmail.ini.f); they must be in uppercase.
-
-4. Build the Docker image:
-
-```shell
-docker compose build chatmail
-```
-
-5. Start docker compose and wait for the installation to finish:
-
-```shell
-docker compose up -d # start service
-docker compose logs -f chatmail # view container logs, press CTRL+C to exit
-```
-
-### venv creation
-The first container start takes longer because it creates the cmdeploy Python virtualenv at `/opt/chatmail/venv` (persisted on the host via volume mount). Subsequent starts reuse the existing venv. Set `RECREATE_VENV=true` in `.env` to force a rebuild if needed.
-
-6. After installation is complete, you can open `https://<your_domain_name>` in your browser.
-
-## Using custom files
-
-When using Docker, you can apply modified configuration files to make the installation more personalized. This is usually needed for the `www/src` section so that the Chatmail landing page is customized to your taste, but it can be used for any other cases as well.
-
-To replace files correctly:
-
-1. Create the `./custom` directory. It is in `.gitignore`, so it won’t cause conflicts when updating.
-
-```shell
-mkdir -p ./custom
-```
-
-2. Modify the required file. For example, `index.md`:
-
-```shell
-mkdir -p ./custom/www/src
-nano ./custom/www/src/index.md
-```
-
-3. In `docker-compose.yaml`, add the file mount in the `volumes` section:
-
-```yaml
-services:
-  chatmail:
-    volumes:
-      ...
-      ## custom resources
-      - ./custom/www/src/index.md:/opt/chatmail/www/src/index.md
-```
-
-4. Restart the service:
-
-```shell
-docker compose down
-docker compose up -d
-```
-
-## Migrating from a bare-metal install
-
-If you have an existing bare-metal Chatmail installation and want to switch to Docker:
-
-1. Stop all existing services:
-
-```shell
-systemctl stop postfix dovecot doveauth nginx opendkim unbound acmetool-redirector \
-  filtermail filtermail-incoming chatmail-turn iroh-relay chatmail-metadata \
-  lastlogin mtail
-systemctl disable postfix dovecot doveauth nginx opendkim unbound acmetool-redirector \
-  filtermail filtermail-incoming chatmail-turn iroh-relay chatmail-metadata \
-  lastlogin mtail
-```
-
-2. Convert your existing `chatmail.ini` to the Docker `.env` format:
-
-```shell
-python3 docker/cm_ini_to_env.py /usr/local/lib/chatmaild/chatmail.ini .env
-```
-
-3. Copy persistent data into the `./data/` subdirectories:
-
-```shell
-mkdir -p data/chatmail-dkimkeys data/chatmail-acme data/chatmail
-
-# DKIM keys
-cp -a /etc/dkimkeys/* data/chatmail-dkimkeys/
-
-# ACME certificates and account
-rsync -a /var/lib/acme/ data/chatmail-acme/
-
-# Mail data
-rsync -a /home/ data/chatmail/
-```
-
-Alternatively, you can mount `/home/vmail` directly by changing the volume in `docker-compose.yaml`:
-
-```yaml
-- /home/vmail:/home/vmail
-```
-
-The three `./data/` subdirectories cover all persistent state. Everything else is regenerated by the `configure` and `activate` stages on container start.
-
-## Forcing a full reinstall
-
-The Docker image bakes the install stage (binary downloads, package setup, chatmaild venv) into the image at build time. On container start, only the `configure` and `activate` stages run by default.
-
-To force a full reinstall (e.g., after updating the source), either rebuild the image:
-
-```shell
-docker compose build chatmail
-docker compose up -d
-```
-
-Or override the stages at runtime without rebuilding:
-
-```shell
-CMDEPLOY_STAGES="install,configure,activate" docker compose up -d
-```

-# Известные проблемы и ограничения
-- Chatmail будет переустановлен при каждом запуске контейнера (при первом - долго, при последующих быстрее). Так устроен изначальный установщик, потому что он не был заточен под docker. В конце документации [представлено](#фиксирование-версии-chatmail) возможное решение
-- Требуется настроенный в системе cgroups v2. Работа с cgroups v1 не тестировалась.
-- Да, понятно дело что systemd использовать в контейнере костыль и надо это всё разнести на несколько сервисов, но это MVP и в первом приближении оказалось сделать проще так, чем переписывать всю систему развертывания.
-- docker образ подходит только для amd64, если нужно запустить на другой архитектуре, попробуйте изменить dockerfile (конкретно ту часть что ответсвенна за установку dovecot)
-
-# Docker installation
-Здесь представлена инструкция по установке chatmail с помощью docker-compose.
-
-## Предварительная настройка
-We use `chat.example.org` as the chatmail domain in the following steps.
-Please substitute it with your own domain. 
-
-1. Настройте начальные записи DNS.Ниже приведен пример в привычном формате файла зоны BIND сTTL 1 час (3600 секунд).
-   Замените домен и IP-адреса на свои.
-
-   ```
-    chat.example.com. 3600 IN A 198.51.100.5
-    chat.example.com. 3600 IN AAAA 2001:db8::5
-    www.chat.example.com. 3600 IN CNAME chat.example.com.
-    mta-sts.chat.example.com. 3600 IN CNAME chat.example.com.
-   ```
-
-2. Склонируйте репозиторий на свой сервер.
-
-   ```shell
-    git clone https://github.com/chatmail/relay
-    cd relay
-   ```
-
-## Installation
-
-1. Настроить параметры ядра, потому что внутри контейнера их нельзя изменить, а конкретно `fs.inotify.max_user_instances` и `fs.inotify.max_user_watches`. Для этого выполнить следующее:
-```shell
-echo "fs.inotify.max_user_instances=65536" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.d/99-inotify.conf
-echo "fs.inotify.max_user_watches=65536" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.d/99-inotify.conf
-sudo sysctl --system
-```
-
-2. Скопировать `./docker/example.env` и переименовать в `.env`. Здесь хранятся переменные, которые используются в `docker-compose.yaml`.
-```shell
-cp ./docker/example.env .env
-```
-
-3. Настроить переменные окружения в `.env` файле. Эти переменные используются в `docker-compose.yaml` файле, чтобы передавать повторяющиеся значения.
-   Ниже перечислен список переменных учавствующих при развертывании:
-
-- `MAIL_DOMAIN` - Доменное имя будущего сервера. (required)
-- `DEBUG_COMMANDS_ENABLED` - Выполнить debug команды перед установкой. (default: `false`)
-- `FORCE_REINIT_INI_FILE` - Пересоздавать ini файл конфигурации при запуске. (default: `false`)
-- `USE_FOREIGN_CERT_MANAGER` - Использовать сторонний менеджер сертификатов. (default: `false`)
-- `RECREATE_VENV` - Пересоздать виртуальное окружение (venv). Если выставлено `true`, то окружение будет пересоздано при запуске контейнера, из-за чего включение сервиса займет больше времени, но поможет избежать ряда ошибок. (default: `false`)
-- `INI_FILE` - путь к ini файлу конфигурации. (default: `./chatmail.ini`)
-- `PATH_TO_SSL` - Путь где располагаются сертификаты. (default: `/var/lib/acme/live/${MAIL_DOMAIN}`)
-- `ENABLE_CERTS_MONITORING` - Включить мониторинг сертификатов, если `USE_FOREIGN_CERT_MANAGER=true`.  Если сертфикаты изменятся сервисы будут автоматически перезапущены. (default: `false`)
-- `CERTS_MONITORING_TIMEOUT` - Раз во сколько секунд проверять что изменились сертификаты. (default: `'60'`)
-
-Также могут быть использованы все переменные из [ini файла конфигурации](https://github.com/chatmail/relay/blob/main/chatmaild/src/chatmaild/ini/chatmail.ini.f), они обязаны быть в uppercase формате. 
-
-4. Собрать docker образ
-```shell
-docker compose build chatmail
-```
-
-5. Запустить docker compose и дождаться завершения установки
-```shell
-docker compose up -d # запуск сервиса
-docker compose logs -f chatmail # просмотр логов контейнера. Для выхода нажать CTRL+C
-```
-
-6. По окончанию установки можно открыть в браузер `https://<your_domain_name>`
-
-## Использование кастомных файлов
-При использовании docker есть возможность использовать измененые файлы конфигурации, чтобы сделать установку более персонализированной. Обычно это требуется для секции `www/src`, чтобы ознакомительная страница Chatmail была сделана на ваш вкус. Но также это можно использовать и для любых других случаев.
-
-Для того чтобы корректно выполнить подмену файлов необходимо 
-1. создать каталог `./custom`, он находится в `.gitignore`, поэтому при обновлении не вызовет конфликтов.
-```shell
-mkdir -p ./custom
-```
-
-2. Изменить нужный файл. Для примера возьмем `index.md`
-```shell
-mkdir -p ./custom/www/src
-nano ./custom/www/src/index.md
-```
-
-3. В `docker-compose.yaml` добавить монтирование файла с помощью секции `volumes`
-```yaml
-services:
-  chatmail:
-    volumes:
-      ...
-      ## custom resources
-      - ./custom/www/src/index.md:/opt/chatmail/www/src/index.md
-```
-
-4. Перезапустить сервис
-```shell
-docker compose down
-docker compose up -d
-```
-
-## Фиксирование версии Chatmail
-> [!note]
-> Это опциональные шаги, их делать требуется только если вас не устраивает что сервис устанавливается каждый раз при запуске
-
-Поскольку в текущей версии docker chatmail сервис устанавливается каждый раз запуске контейнера, чтобы этого не происходило можно зафиксировать версию контейнера после установки. Делается это следующим образом:
-
-1. Зафиксировать текущее состояние сконфигурированного контейнера
-```shell
-docker container commit chatmail configured-chatmail:$(date +'%Y-%m-%d')
-docker image ls | grep configured-chatmail
-```
-
-2. Изменить entrypoint для контейнера в `docker-compose.yaml` на
-```yaml
-services:
-  chatmail:
-    image: <image name from step 1>
-    volumes:
-      ...
-      ## custom resources
-      - ./custom/setup_chatmail_docker.sh:/setup_chatmail_docker.sh
-```
-
-3. Создать файл `./custom/setup_chatmail_docker.sh` с новым файлом конфигурации
-```shell
-mkdir -p ./custom
-cat > ./custom/setup_chatmail_docker.sh << 'EOF'
-#!/bin/bash
-
-set -eo pipefail
-
-export ENABLE_CERTS_MONITORING="${ENABLE_CERTS_MONITORING:-true}"
-export CERTS_MONITORING_TIMEOUT="${CERTS_MONITORING_TIMEOUT:-60}"
-export PATH_TO_SSL="${PATH_TO_SSL:-/var/lib/acme/live/${MAIL_DOMAIN}}"
-
-calculate_hash() {
-    find "$PATH_TO_SSL" -type f -exec sha1sum {} \; | sort | sha1sum | awk '{print $1}'
-}
-
-monitor_certificates() {
-    if [ "$ENABLE_CERTS_MONITORING" != "true" ]; then
-        echo "Certs monitoring disabled."
-        exit 0
-    fi
-
-    current_hash=$(calculate_hash)
-    previous_hash=$current_hash
-
-    while true; do
-        current_hash=$(calculate_hash)
-        if [[ "$current_hash" != "$previous_hash" ]]; then
-        # TODO: add an option to restart at a specific time interval 
-            echo "[INFO] Certificate's folder hash was changed, reloading nginx, dovecot and postfix services."
-            systemctl reload nginx.service
-            systemctl reload dovecot.service
-            systemctl reload postfix.service
-            previous_hash=$current_hash
-        fi
-        sleep $CERTS_MONITORING_TIMEOUT
-    done
-}
-
-monitor_certificates &
-EOF
-```
-
-4. Перезапустить сервис
-```shell
-docker compose down
-docker compose up -d
-```
