Bouée
Get started

Requirements

What a server needs to run Bouée.

  • A Linux server with Docker Engine and Docker Compose v2.
  • A hostname for the installation, such as support.example.com, and access to its DNS.
  • Ports 80 and 443 reachable from the internet. The quick install runs Caddy in front of Bouée for TLS; the manual one needs a reverse proxy of your own (Caddy, nginx, Traefik or similar).
  • A Resend account. Receiving mail needs a Resend plan that includes inbound email.
  • Outbound access from the server to DNS and to api.resend.com over HTTPS, and inbound HTTPS from Resend to your hostname, which is how incoming mail arrives.

Introduction

Bouée is the email-first help desk you run yourself.
