## Overview

Bulwark is a full webmail suite, not just an inbox. It bundles the four apps most self-hosters end up wanting on the same login:

- **Mail** – threading, unified inbox, full-text search, Sieve filters, S/MIME, templates
- **Calendar** – month/week/day/agenda, recurring events, iMIP invitations, CalDAV subscriptions
- **Contacts** – multiple address books, groups, vCard import/export
- **Files** – Stalwart's JMAP FileNode storage with previews and folder upload

Plus the infrastructure around them: OAuth2 / OIDC SSO, TOTP 2FA, multi-account (up to 5 at once), 15 languages, PWA install, dark/light themes, a plugin system with an extension marketplace, and a admin dashboard.

Full feature list: **[FEATURES.md](FEATURES.md)**.

## Quick Start

### Docker

```bash
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
  -e JMAP_SERVER_URL=https://mail.example.com \
  ghcr.io/bulwarkmail/webmail:latest
```

Or with Docker Compose:

```bash
cp .env.example .env.local
# Edit .env.local – set JMAP_SERVER_URL
docker compose up -d
```

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/bulwarkmail/webmail.git
cd webmail
npm install
cp .env.example .env.local
# Edit .env.local – set JMAP_SERVER_URL
npm run build && npm start
```

### Development

```bash
npm run dev        # Dev server with a mock JMAP server
npm run typecheck
npm run lint
```

## Configuration

All variables are evaluated at runtime, so Docker deployments can be reconfigured without rebuilding. Edit `.env.local`:

```env
# Required
JMAP_SERVER_URL=https://mail.example.com

# Optional
APP_NAME=My Webmail
```

<details>
<summary>Server listen address</summary>

```env
HOSTNAME=0.0.0.0    # Default; use "::" for IPv6
PORT=3000
```

</details>

<details>
<summary>OAuth2 / OIDC</summary>

```env
OAUTH_ENABLED=true
OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=webmail
OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=              # optional, for confidential clients
OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET_FILE=         # path to a file containing the secret
OAUTH_ISSUER_URL=                 # optional, for external IdPs
```

Endpoints are auto-discovered via `.well-known/oauth-authorization-server` or `.well-known/openid-configuration`.

</details>

<details>
<summary>Session & settings sync</summary>

```env
SESSION_SECRET=                      # openssl rand -base64 32
SESSION_SECRET_FILE=/session-secret  # path to a file containing the secret

SETTINGS_SYNC_ENABLED=true
SETTINGS_DATA_DIR=./data/settings    # mount as a volume in Docker
```

Credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and stored in an httpOnly cookie (30-day expiry). Settings sync stores per-account preferences encrypted at rest and requires `SESSION_SECRET`.

</details>

<details>
<summary>Custom JMAP endpoint</summary>

```env
ALLOW_CUSTOM_JMAP_ENDPOINT=true
```

Shows a "JMAP Server" field on the login form. External servers must CORS-allow the webmail origin.

</details>

<details>
<summary>Branding & PWA</summary>

```env
APP_NAME=My Webmail
APP_SHORT_NAME=Webmail
APP_DESCRIPTION=Your personal mail

FAVICON_URL=/branding/favicon.svg
PWA_ICON_URL=/branding/icon.svg      # falls back to FAVICON_URL
PWA_THEME_COLOR=#3b82f6
PWA_BACKGROUND_COLOR=#ffffff

APP_LOGO_LIGHT_URL=/branding/logo-light.svg
APP_LOGO_DARK_URL=/branding/logo-dark.svg
LOGIN_LOGO_LIGHT_URL=/branding/login-light.svg
LOGIN_LOGO_DARK_URL=/branding/login-dark.svg

LOGIN_COMPANY_NAME=My Company
LOGIN_WEBSITE_URL=https://example.com
LOGIN_IMPRINT_URL=https://example.com/imprint
LOGIN_PRIVACY_POLICY_URL=https://example.com/privacy
```

</details>

<details>
<summary>Extension directory</summary>

```env
EXTENSION_DIRECTORY_URL=https://extensions.bulwarkmail.org
```

Enables the admin marketplace for browsing and installing plugins and themes.

</details>

<details>
<summary>Stalwart integration & logging</summary>

```env
STALWART_FEATURES=true               # password change, Sieve filters, etc.

LOG_FORMAT=text                      # "text" or "json"
LOG_LEVEL=info                       # error | warn | info | debug
```

</details>

<details>
<summary>Subpath / reverse proxy mount</summary>

To serve the webmail at a subpath (e.g. `https://example.com/webmail`):

```env
NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH=/webmail
NEXT_PUBLIC_LOCALE_PREFIX=always     # avoids next-intl rewrite loops
```

Unlike most other variables, `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH` is read at **build time** because Next.js bakes it into emitted asset URLs. To use it with the published Docker image, build your own image with the variable set:

```bash
docker build --build-arg NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH=/webmail -t bulwark-webmail .
```

Then point your reverse proxy at the container without stripping the prefix - the app expects to receive requests under `/webmail/...` and serves all routes (`/webmail/api/...`, `/webmail/_next/static/...`, `/webmail/sw.js`, etc.) accordingly.

## Why Stalwart?

[Stalwart](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/mail-server) is a Rust mail server with native JMAP support – not IMAP/SMTP with JMAP bolted on. It handles JMAP, IMAP, SMTP, and ManageSieve in a single self-hosted binary with no third-party dependencies.
