NAME
doveconf - Dovecot's configuration dumping utility
SYNOPSIS
doveconf [-adnNSx] [-c config-file] [-f filter] [-m module] doveconf [-n] [-c config-file] section_name ... doveconf [-h] [-c config-file] [-f filter] setting_name ...
DESCRIPTION
doveconf reads and parses Dovecot's configuration files and converts them into a simpler format used by the rest of Dovecot. All standalone programs, such as dovecot(1) and dovecot-lda(1), will first get their settings by executing doveconf. For system administrators, doveconf is mainly useful for dumping the configuration in easy human readable output.
OPTIONS
-a Show all settings with their currently configured values.
-c config-file
read configuration from the given config-file. By default
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf will be used.
-d Show the setting's default value instead of the one currently
configured.
-f filter
Show the matching configuration for the specified filter
condition. The filter option string has to be given as
name=value pair. For multiple filter conditions the -f option
can be supplied multiple times.
Possible names for the filter are:
lname The local hostname, e.g. mail.example.com. This will
only match hostnames which were configured like:
local_name mail.example.com { # special settings }
local The server's hostname or IP address. This will also
match hostnames which were configured like:
local imap.example.net { # special settings }
protocol, service
The protocol, e.g. imap or pop3
remote The client's hostname or IP address.
-h Hide the setting's name, show only the setting's value.
-m module
Show only settings for the given module.
e.g. imap, imap-login, lmtp, pop3 or pop3-login
-n Show only settings with non-default values.
-N Show settings with non-default values and explicitly set default
values.
-S Dump settings in simplified machine parsable/readable format.
-x Expand configuration variables (e.g. $mail_plugins ⇒ quota) and
show file contents (from e.g. ssl_cert =
</etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem).
section_name
Show only the current configuration of one or more specified
sections.
setting_name
Show only the setting of one or more setting_name(s) with the
currently configured value. You can show a setting inside a
section using '/' as the section separator, e.g.
service/imap/executable.
EXAMPLE
When Dovecot was configured to use different settings for some
networks/subnets it is possible to show which settings will be applied
for a specific connection.
doveconf -f local=10.0.0.110 -f remote=10.11.1.2 -f service=pop3 -n
doveconf can be also used to convert v1.x configuration files into v2.x
format.
doveconf -n -c /oldpath/dovecot.conf > /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.new
This example shows how to ask doveconf for a global setting and a
protocol specific setting. The second command uses also the -h option,
in order to hide the setting's name.
doveconf mail_plugins
mail_plugins = quota
doveconf -h -f protocol=imap mail_plugins
quota imap_quota
This example demonstrates how to dump a whole configuration section.
doveconf dict
dict {
quota = pgsql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
}
Or how to dump only the quota dict:
doveconf dict/quota
dict/quota = pgsql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
