How to build the docker image?

Copy the content above into a file named *Dockerfile* in a directory, and then run the following command.

::

• $ sudo docker build -t mailman .

This will take some time to build a docker image with the required steps.

How to start the container/mailman3?

::

• $ sudo docker run mailman

Then find out the container id by following command

::

• $ sudo docker ps

This will start the mailman docker container. You can find out the ip from *$ sudo docker inspect hash_of_docker" For example I can open "http://172.17.0.15:8000/" in my browser to view Mailman3.
