+# Running with Docker
+
+Dovecot CE comes with Docker images published at https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot.
+
+## Minimal setup
+
+To run Dovecot you can start it with
+
+```console
+docker run -p 143:31143 -p 993:31993 dovecot/dovecot:latest
+```
+
+This will expose IMAP and IMAPS ports, but all data is kept locally.
+
+## Persisting mail data
+
+To persist data, mount volume to `/srv/vmail`. Remember that this needs to be writable to UID 1000 internally.
+
+```console
+docker run -v /srv/vmail:/srv/vmail -p 143:31143 -p 993:31993 dovecot/dovecot:latest
+```
+
+## Configuring instance
+
+
+These docker images are rootless since v2.4.0. This means they are ran with vmail (UID 1000).
+
+To change configuration, put configuration drop-ins to `/etc/dovecot/conf.d`.
+
+```console
+docker run -v /etc/dovecot-config:/etc/dovecot/conf.d,ro -v /srv/vmail:/srv/vmail -p 143:31143 -p 993:31993 dovecot/dovecot:latest
+```
+
+Dovecot uses TLS certificates from `/etc/dovecot/ssl` directory. The full chain certificate name is expected to be `tls.crt`, and key file `tls.key`.
+
+POP3 service is not enabled by default, if you need pop3, place a pop3.conf drop-in to conf.d:
+
+```
+protocols {
+  pop3 = yes
+}
+```
+
+By default imap, submission, lmtp and sieve protocols are enabled.
+
+## Listening ports
+
+Since v2.4.1 ports are exposed as non-privileged ports. You need to map these
+to the ports that you need.
+
+### Exposed protocols
+
+| Protocol    | Port  |
+| ----------- | ----- |
+| imap        | 31143 |
+| imaps       | 31993 |
+| pop3        | 31110 |
+| pop3s       | 31990 |
+| submissions | 31465 |
+| submission  | 31587 |
+| lmtps       | 31024 |
+| managesieve | 34190 |
+| HTTP API    |  8080 |
+| Metrics     |  9090 |
+
+## Running read-only
+
+To run the system fully read-only, use
+
+```console
+docker run --read-only --tmpfs /tmp --tmpfs /run/dovecot -v /srv/vmail:/srv/vmail --rm -it dovecot/dovecot:latest
+```
+
+Dovecot will need write permissions to `/tmp`, `/run` and persistent mail storage at `/srv/vmail`.
+
+## Running without Linux capabilities
+
+By default, Dovecot needs `CAP_SYS_CHROOT` capability. To remove this requirements, you can prevent chrooting
+by placing no-chroot.conf to drop-in directory:
+
+```
+service submission-login {
+  chroot =
+}
+service imap-login {
+  chroot =
+}
+service pop3-login {
+   chroot =
+}
+service managesieve-login {
+   chroot =
+}
+service imap-urlauth-login {
+   chroot =
+}
+```
+
+and run Dovecot using
+
+```console
+docker run -v /etc/dovecot-config:/etc/dovecot/conf.d,ro --security-opt "no-new-privileges" --rm -it dovecot/dovecot:latest
+```
