# Install
|
||
|

<h4> This tutorial will show you how to install Stalwart Mail server as well as HAProxy so you can securely host your own email server. </h4>

<h3> 1️⃣ </h3>
|
||
|
||
## Configuring docker-compose.yml file
|
||
|
||
* **This is the docker-compose.yml file that you will use to create your container. It will be installing HAProxy and then including Stalwart and Roundcube's yml files, installing them afterwards.**
|
||
|
||
* **It's always going to restart unless we manually stop it.**
|
||
|
||
* **We are mapping it to ports 25, 80, 110, 143, 443, 465, 587, 993, & 4190.**
|
||
|
||
* **We're also making HAProxy's container depend on Stalwart's container**
|
||
|
||
* **And finally we are creating a custom hao-network for these containers.**

<h3> 2️⃣ </h3>
|
||
|
||
## Configuring .env file
|
||
|
||
* **This is the .env file. Here you will want to enter your cloudflare API token as well as the email address you log into cloudflare with. This .env file will create variables that you can reference in your Caddyfile.**

|
||
<h3> 3️⃣ </h3>
|
||
|
||
## Configuring dockerfile.caddy file
|
||
|
||
* **This is the dockerfile.caddy file that your docker-compose.yml file will use to create your custom Caddy image.**

<h3> 4️⃣ </h3>
|
||
|
||
## Configuring Caddyfile
|
||
|
||
* **This is the Caddyfile. This file tells Caddy what and how to do things.**

# Finish
|
||
|
||
**Once you have all of the files customized to your liking and all four of them are sitting in the same directory, you'll be ready to launch the yml file.**
