Summary: Make James Local Server easier to use
Key: JAMES-3216
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3216
Project: James Server
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: David Leangen
The "James Local Server" is currently described as:
----
h2. James Local Mail Server
If you are not sure which server you should be using, then you probably ought
to be using the [*Local
Server*|https://james.leangen.net/main/3.5/servers/local.html]. This server
uses the local file system to store emails, which tends to considerably
simplify the system. To safeguard your emails, you only need a simple generic
backup solution that works with a data volume.
This server is intended to be the simplest to set up and use in production. It
has the least amount of dependencies and complexities. If you do not yet have a
huge amount of emails to process, then usually the simplicity is well worth the
loss of some functionality. The last thing you need is to have to resolve
difficult issues on a production server when you have not yet acquired the
requisite knowledge to deal with those issues. Using the [*Local
Server*|https://james.leangen.net/main/3.5/servers/local.html] will help you
reduce the risk of running into production issues.
This server is:
* Suggested for use with smaller deployments
* Appropriate for use by most operators
* The preferred choice for most installations
* Endowed with fewer dependencies, which makes it simpler and less risky to
use in production
* Only dependent on your local file system for data storage, so very easy to
manage
----
This server is currently difficult to set up and use.
To make James more appealing to new users, installation should be simplified.
When input or configuration is required by users, it should be minimized and
well documented.
Note: I am working on this issue with the help of the community, but for some
reason I am not able to assign the issue to myself.
