Mautic (updated) Docker setup

• Access Mautic at http://localhost:8080
• Uses MySQL 8.0 and latest Mautic image
• Optional Gmail SMTP via MAUTIC_MAILER_DSN

Quick start

• Copy .env.example to .env and fill values (DB password, Gmail DSN, etc.)
• From mail-blaster/ run: docker compose up -d
• Wait for DB to become healthy, then visit http://localhost:8080

Database connection (during Mautic install)

• Host: db
• Port: 3306
• Name: mautic
• User: mautic
• Password: value from MAUTIC_DB_PASSWORD in .env

Gmail SMTP (recommended)

• Create a Google App Password (required for Gmail SMTP)
• Set MAUTIC_MAILER_DSN in .env:
  • Example: smtp://alice%40gmail.com:[email protected]:587?encryption=tls
• You can also configure mail in Mautic UI under Settings → Configuration → Email settings.

Azure MySQL → Mautic contact sync

• Script: scripts/sync_to_mautic.py
• Install deps: python3 -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate && pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt
• Configure .env with your Azure MySQL and Mautic API credentials
• Run once: env $(grep -v '^#' .env | xargs) python3 scripts/sync_to_mautic.py

Schedule periodic sync (choose one)

• Cron (host):
  • */15 * * * * cd /path/to/mail-blaster && /usr/bin/env bash -lc 'source .venv/bin/activate && env $(grep -v "^#" .env | xargs) python3 scripts/sync_to_mautic.py >> sync.log 2>&1'
• Windows Task Scheduler: run the same command via a scheduled task every N minutes.

Notes

• Pin the Mautic image to a specific major (e.g., mautic/mautic:v5-apache) for stability if desired.
• This stack enables Mautic’s cron inside the container (MAUTIC_RUN_CRON_JOBS=true).
