How to Set Up a Docker Container (Advanced)

If you have prior experience with setting up containers, here you may found the mere details on getting Sendent for Outlook running.

Pease replace <YOURDOMAIN> with your actual own domain, with included protocol. For example: <YOURDOMAIN> becomes https://outlook.sendent.dev.

Docker Compose file

Notice: Some extra environment variables might be applicable. This depends wether the installation is Microsoft Exchange On-Premise or Microsoft 365.

Please advice the following article and modify the docker compose file accordingly.

version: '3.9'
services:
  sendent.outlook:
    image: rg.nl-ams.scw.cloud/sendent-public/sendent-outlook:latest
    platform: linux/amd64
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    restart: on-failure
    environment:
      - BASE_URL=<YOURDOMAIN>
      - FEATURES_CODES_TO_REMOVE=
    ports:
      - "4300:4300"
    volumes:
      - ./docker-config:/usr/src/app/outlook-addin/docker-config
    networks:
      - node_network
 
networks:
  node_network:

Depending on the installation, you might want to remove certain features.

For "FEATURES_CODES_TO_REMOVE=" you can set the following values to remove certain buttons and events in the Outlook add-in:
0 = Remove Activity Tracker
1 = Remove Secure Mail
2 = Remove On-Send event actions
3 = Remove Nextcloud Talk Desktop

Free users

We recommend the following default configuration.

BASE_URL=<YOURDOMAIN>
 
FEATURES_CODES_TO_REMOVE=0,1,2

Licensed users

We recommend the following default configuration.

<YOURNEXTCLOUDDOMAIN> should for example be https://nextcloud.sendent.dev.

Warning: we disabled on-send interaction in this example. You can re-enable it later again if you verified the installation works correctly, by simply removing the ‘2’ in FEATURES_CODES_TO_REMOVE and then re-upload your manifest file, if you uploaded the XML file manually. On-send interaction is needed if you want to automate uploading of attachments when the send button is clicked within Outlook.

BASE_URL=<YOURDOMAIN>
 
FEATURES_CODES_TO_REMOVE=2
 
DEFAULT_NEXTCLOUD_URL="<YOURNEXTCLOUDDOMAIN>"

Reverse proxy

Please ensure that either if NGINX or APACHE is used the maximum body size is increased.

NGINX: client_max_body_size 250M; (this sets the maximum file upload size to 250 MB).
APACHE: LimitRequestBody 262144000 (this sets the maximum file upload size to roughly 250 MB).
