Cron sync

This demo shows a cron-based sync of IMAP to a local Maildir in /mail.

Start the container(s):

docker-compose up

isync service is now running:

• /mbsyncrc config file is created
• /notify.sh is created
• A crontab is created that runs /sync and /notify.sh daily at 00:00
• crond is started

1. Perform first-time sync

View /mbsyncrc config:

docker-compose exec isync cat /mbsyncrc

Run a first-time sync (this will fail, because test@example.com is not a real account):

docker-compose exec isync /sync

2. Wait for cron sync

Now, wait out for 00:00 of tomorrow.

At 00:00, the incremental sync would run very quickly. A notification of the cron status would be sent to Discord and Mattermost using pingme.

List synced files:

docker-compose exec isync find /mail
