Full server backup (spec 7.5.A): internal/backup produces a tar.gz of all of /data — a consistent SQLite snapshot via VACUUM INTO, DKIM keys, sasldb2 and a version manifest; TLS certs (tls/) and the Postfix queue are excluded. Two equal paths: the panel button (POST /backup, no-store) and the selfpost-backup CLI via docker exec (spec 11.6). CheckRestore runs before store.Open: a manifest version mismatch refuses to boot with the image tag to use; a match consumes the manifest so it only guards the first post-restore boot. Restore is not a separate branch — Postfix/OpenDKIM regenerate from the restored SQLite as on any start. Domain export/import (spec 7.5.B): DomainExport carries the DKIM private key and each application's working password. SASL secrets are read from sasldb2 via db_dump (the userPassword property is plaintext) and, on import, re-keyed under the local realm with saslpasswd2 — so credentials keep working on an instance with a different hostname, with no DKIM DNS change. Import validates and rolls back atomically on any failure. db-util (db_dump) is now an explicit image dep. Verified on the server (selfpost:p9): gofmt/vet/test green; container e2e for cross-realm domain export/import (SMTP AUTH 235 under the new realm), CLI and panel backups, same-version restore, and version-mismatch refusal.

SelfPost
Self-hosted outbound SMTP relay with a web control panel, shipped as a single
Docker image. Postfix + OpenDKIM + a small Go panel run together under
supervisord; the panel manages multiple sending domains, per-domain DKIM keys
and SASL-authenticated applications bound to their domain.
SelfPost sends mail straight to the internet from your own IP, with DKIM signing, and is configured once through the panel. It is outbound only — it does not receive mail, provide mailboxes, or offer webmail.
Status: under active development. See docs/specification.md for the full requirements and docs/implementation-plan.md for the phased build plan.
Requirements (site prerequisites)
SelfPost assumes the host already provides the conditions for sending from your own IP — an unblocked outbound port 25, a static IP, configurable PTR/rDNS and a reasonable IP reputation. Providing these is the operator's job, not a feature of SelfPost. Detailed deployment docs land in a later phase.
