"Finally, an email solution where I actually own the data. Lumina Webmail turned a weekend project into our company mail server."

HOW IT WORKS

From zero to inbox in 10 minutes.

No complex configuration. No hidden cloud dependencies. Just four simple steps.

01

Clone & deploy

Pull the repo and run docker-compose up. Postfix, Dovecot, Redis, and the Next.js frontend start in minutes.

02

Point your DNS

Add MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. The setup script generates everything you need automatically.

03

Secure by default

TLS 1.3, AES-256 storage, and built-in spam filtering are active from the first boot.

04

Start sending

Open the webmail, create mailboxes, and manage unlimited domains from one clean dashboard.
