This is an alternative project to build a container image for
[PostfixAdmin](https://github.com/postfixadmin/postfixadmin).
The main goal of this alternative image is to support a kubernetes deployment
via helm. Furthermore, the container image support configuring via [environment
variables](#supported-environment-variables).
To deploy PostfixAdmin via `helm` checkout the repository on
[artifacthub.io](https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/volker-raschek/postfixadmin)
for more details.
## Supported environment variables
