Overview

The Devilbox ships various example configurations to overwrite the default stack. Those files are located under compose/ in the Devilbox git directory.

In case of Mailhog, the file is compose/docker-compose.override.yml-mailhog. This file must be copied into the root of the Devilbox git directory.

What	How and where
Example compose file	`compose/docker-compose.override.yml-mailhog`
Container IP address	`172.16.238.201`
Exposed port	`8025`
Available at	`http://localhost:8025`
Container name	`mailhog`
Further configuration	php.ini settings need to be applied per version

Instructions

Copy example docker-compose.override.yml

Copy the mailhog Docker Compose overwrite file into the root of the Devilbox git directory.

host> cp compose/docker-compose.override.yml-mailhog docker-compose.override.yml

* docker_compose_override_yml * add_your_own_docker_image * overwrite_existing_docker_image

Adjust PHP settings

The next step is to tell PHP that it should use a different mail forwarder.

Let's assume you are using PHP 7.2.

# Navigate to the PHP ini configuration directory of your chosen version
host> cd cfg/php-ini-7.2

# Create and open a new *.ini file
host> vi mailhog.ini

Add the following content to the newly created ini file:

[mail function]
sendmail_path = '/usr/local/bin/mhsendmail --smtp-addr="mailhog:1025"'

php_ini

Start the Devilbox

The final step is to start the Devilbox with mailhog.

Let's assume you want to start php, httpd, bind, mysql and mailhog.

host> docker-compose up -d php httpd bind mysql mailhog

start_the_devilbox

Functionality

Once the Devilbox is running, visit http://localhost:8025 in your browser.
Any email send by any of the Devilbox managed projects will then appear in Mailhog
