<title>Apache James Server 3 - Quick Start for Cassandra backend</title>
</properties>
<body>
<section name="Quick Start for Cassandra backend">
<p>The goal of the document is to allow anyone to start a James instance as an operational mail server.</p>
<p>The two methods described bellow should not be used in production.</p>
<p>First method, from James source code:</p>
<source>
Step 0: Requirements
####################
* Java 11 SDK
* 2GB RAM
* Docker 1.7.1+
* Maven 3.3
Step 1: Download
#################
* Clone the James git repository
<i>$ git clone git://git.apache.org/james-project.git</i>
Step 3: Compile
###############
* Compile the Guice Cassandra project
<i>$ mvn package -DskipTests --also-make --projects server/container/guice/cassandra-guice</i>
* Compile the James CLI project
<i>$ mvn package -DskipTests -am -pl server/container/cli</i>
Step 3: Deploy
##############
3.1. Deploy Cassandra (optional)
You may skip this part if you already have a running Cassandra on your network.
<i>$ docker run --detach=true --name=cassandra cassandra:3.11.10</i>
3.2. Deploy ElasticSearch (optional)
You may skip this part if you already have a running ElasticSearch on your network.
<i>$ docker run --detach=true --name=elasticsearch --env 'discovery.type=single-node' docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.3.2</i>
Step 4: Configure
#################
* Follow the <a href="config-guice.html">Cassandra guice</a> configuration documentation.
* We need to provide the key we will use for TLS. For obvious reasons, this is not provided in this git.
Copy your TLS keys to ./conf/keystore or generate it using :
<i>$ keytool -genkey -alias james -keyalg RSA -keystore ./conf/keystore</i>
You will have to put the keystore password in the right xml files (imapserver.xml, pop3server.xml, smtpserver.xml)
You are welcome to use the default configuration which can be found in the <i>$PWD/dockerfiles/run/guice/cassandra/destination/conf</i> folder.
Step 5: Start
#############
* Run James
<i>$ sudo java -Dworking.directory=<b>WORKING_PATH</b> -jar server/container/guice/cassandra-guice/target/james-server-cassandra-guice.jar</i>
Where :
- <b>WORKING_PATH</b> is the path of the folder which contains your configuration files.
You have to run this command with the superuser, has some default ports are lower than 1000 (default imap, smtp...).
You may get rid of that by overriding the default configuration
Step 6: Create Domains and Users
################################
Time to add domains and users.
<i>$ java -jar server/container/cli/target/james-server-cli.jar -h 127.0.0.1 -p 9999 adddomain <b>DOMAIN</b></i>
<i>$ java -jar server/container/cli/target/james-server-cli.jar -h 127.0.0.1 -p 9999 adduser <b>USER_MAIL_ADDRESS</b> <b>PASSWORD</b></i>
Where :
- <b>DOMAIN</b> is the domain you want to handle with this server
- <b>USER_MAIL_ADDRESS</b> user's email
- <b>PASSWORD</b> user's password
Step 7: Test
############
$ telnet <b>HOSTNAME</b> 25
Trying <b>HOSTNAME</b>...

Step 8: Manage
##############
8.1. Manage via james-cli
usage:
<i>$ java -jar server/container/cli/target/james-server-cli.jar -h 127.0.0.1 -p 9999</i>
Available commands:
adduser &lt;/username&gt; &lt;/password&gt;
removeuser &lt;/username&gt;
listusers
adddomain &lt;/domainname&gt;
removedomain &lt;/domainname&gt;
listdomains
8.2. Manage via JMX
* Launch jconsole (or any other JMX client) and connect on URL=service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:<b>HOSTNAME</b>/jmxrmi
* Select the MBeans tab and open the org.apache.james node to view attributes and execute operations.
Step 9: Monitor
###############
* Monitor the ./log/james-server.log log file.
* Monitor via JMX (launch any JMX client and connect to URL=service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://<b>HOSTNAME</b>:9999/jmxrmi)
* Check ./var folder usage

* Check /tmp folder usage
</source>
<p>Second method, with docker-compose:</p>
<source>
Step 0: Requirements
####################
* 2GB RAM
* Docker 1.7.1+
* wget
Step 1: Download
#################
* Get the James docker-compose file
<i>$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/james-project/master/dockerfiles/run/docker-compose.yml</i>
Step 2: Start
#############
* Run James
<i>$ docker-compose up</i>
Step 3: Create Domains and Users
################################
