# Inbucket
Inbucket is an email testing service; it will accept messages for any email
address and make them available via web, REST and POP3 interfaces. Once
compiled, Inbucket does not have any external dependencies - HTTP, SMTP, POP3
and storage are all built in.
A Go client for the REST API is available in
`github.com/inbucket/inbucket/pkg/rest/client` - [Go API docs]

## Development Status
Inbucket is currently production quality: it is being used for real work.
Please see the [Change Log] and [Issues List] for more details. If you'd like
to contribute code to the project check out [CONTRIBUTING.md].
## Docker
Inbucket has automated [Docker Image] builds via Docker Hub. The `latest` tag
tracks our tagged releases, and `edge` tracks our potentially unstable
`main` branch.
## Building from Source
You will need functioning [Go], [Elm] and [Node.js] installations for this to
work.
```sh
git clone https://github.com/inbucket/inbucket.git
cd inbucket/ui
npm ci
npm run build
cd ..
go build ./cmd/inbucket
```
For more information on building and development flows, check out the
[Development Quickstart] page of our wiki.
### Configure and Launch
Inbucket reads its configuration from environment variables, but comes with
reasonable defaults built-in. It should work on most Unix and OS X machines as
is. Launch the daemon:
```sh
./inbucket
```
By default the SMTP server will be listening on localhost port 2500 and
the web interface will be available at [localhost:9000](http://localhost:9000/).
See doc/[config.md] for more information on configuring Inbucket, but you will
likely find the [Configurator] tool the easiest way to generate a configuration.
