FILES

The daemon’s configuration is by default in /etc/chasquid/, and can be changed with the -config_dir flag.

Inside that directory, the daemon expects the following structure:
chasquid.conf

Main config file, see chasquid.conf(5).

domains/

Per-domain configuration.

domains/example.com/

Domain-specific configuration. Can be empty.

domains/example.com/users

User and password database for this domain.

domains/example.com/aliases

Aliases for the domain.

certs/

Certificates to use, one directory per pair.

certs/mx.example.com/

Certificates for this domain.

certs/mx.example.com/fullchain.pem

Certificate (full chain).

certs/mx.example.com/privkey.pem

Private key.

Note the certs/ directory layout matches the one from certbot(1) (client for Let’s Encrypt CA ), so you can just symlink certs/ to /etc/letsencrypt/live.

Make sure the user you use to run chasquid under ("mail" in the example config) can access the certificates and private keys.
