- passwd.j2: append '::::::' so entries have full 8-field passwd format.
Without this Dovecot's userdb lookup fails ('user is missing userdb
info') even though passdb auth succeeds, causing login to return 401.
- main.yml: fix passwd file mode from 0640 to 0644 so Dovecot can read it.
- Add runbook-mail-import.md: full procedure for migrating mbox-format mail
(old Dovecot server with ~/mail/ flat files) to Maildir++ including the
conversion script that handles fetchmail >From envelope lines.
- runbook-configuration.md: reference new runbook in the mail import section.

Purpose:
This repository tracks the complete server configuration so the server can be fully reinstalled from scratch using only this repo. Every configuration change must be committed here. The git history serves as the change log.
Architecture:
Provisioning: Ansible Ansible playbooks configure the OS and deploy all services. Roles are idempotent — re-running them brings the server back to the desired state without side effects. The master playbook is ansible/site.yml.
Service runtime: Docker Compose Each service runs as a Docker Compose stack. Compose files live inside their respective Ansible roles (roles//files/docker-compose.yml). This keeps service definition and deployment config together.
Reverse proxy / TLS: Traefik Traefik is the single entry point for all HTTP/HTTPS traffic. It runs as a Docker Compose service and routes to other containers via Docker labels. TLS certificates are issued automatically via Let's Encrypt (ACME).
Repo layout:

site.yml # master playbook — runs all roles in order
group_vars/all.yml # shared variables (domains, image versions, ...)

docker/ # Docker Engine + Compose plugin install
traefik/ # reverse proxy, TLS termination
gitea/ # self-hosted Git

SSH keys:
root_cloud_ladkau_de — root access (initial setup only)
