NAME
doveadm-replicator - Manage users' mail replication
SYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] [-f formatter] replicator command [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS]
DESCRIPTION
The doveadm replicator COMMANDS can be used to manage the automated
replication of users' mail.
OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options:
-D Enables verbosity and debug messages.
-f formatter
Specifies the formatter for formatting the output. Supported
formatters are:
flow prints each line with key=value pairs.
pager prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates
records with form feed character (^L).
tab prints a table header followed by tab separated value
lines.
table prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines.
-o setting=value
Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dove-
cot.conf and from the userdb with the given value. In order to
override multiple settings, the -o option may be specified mul-
tiple times.
-v Enables verbosity, including progress counter.
This command uses by default the output formatter flow (without the
key= prefix).
Command specific options:
-a replicator_socket_path
This option is used to specify an absolute path to an alterna-
tive UNIX domain socket.
By default doveadm(1) will use the socket /var/run/dove-
cot/replicator-doveadm. The socket may be located in another
directory, when the default base_dir setting was overridden in
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.
ARGUMENTS
user_mask
Specifies for which users the command should be executed. In
most cases you would like to use patterns which contains wild-
cards, e.g. \*@example.net for all users of the example.net
domain, or simply \* for all users.
When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the iter-
ate_query setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches
your database layout. When using the LDAP userdb module, make
sure that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema. Oth-
erwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all users.
COMMANDS
replicator add
doveadm replicator add [-a replicator_socket_path] user_mask
Add the specified user(s) to the replicator. If the user_mask contains
"?" or "*" wildcards, the list of usernames is looked up from the
userdb.
replicator dsync-status
doveadm replicator dsync-status [-a replicator_socket_path]
Show the status for the currently running dsync processes.
replicator remove
doveadm replicator remove [-a replicator_socket_path] username
Remove the specified user from replicator.
replicator replicate
doveadm replicator replicate [-a replicator_socket_path] [-f] [-p pri-
ority] user_mask
Start replication for the specified users now. If the -f parameter is
given, full replication is done for the user. You can also specify the
priority, which can be either high or low. If the user mask contains
"?" or "*" wildcards, the list of usernames is looked up from the users
that currently exist in replicator (not from the userdb).
replicator status
doveadm replicator status [-a replicator_socket_path] user_mask
Show the replication status for users.
