DOVEADM-REPLICATOR(1)               Dovecot              DOVEADM-REPLICATOR(1)

NAME
       doveadm-replicator - Manage users' mail replicaton

SYNOPSIS
       doveadm [-Dv] [-f formatter] replicator command [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS]

DESCRIPTION
       The doveadm replicator COMMANDS can be used to manage the automated
       replication of users' mail.

OPTIONS
       Global doveadm(1) options:

       -D     Enables verbosity and debug messages.

       -f formatter
              Specifies the formatter for formatting the output.  Supported
              formatters are:

              flow   prints each line with key=value pairs.

              pager  prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates
                     records with form feed character (^L).

              tab    prints a table header followed by tab separated value
                     lines.

              table  prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines.

       -o setting=value
              Overrides the configuration setting from
              /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and from the userdb with the
              given value.  In order to override multiple settings, the -o
              option may be specified multiple times.

       -v     Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

       This command uses by default the output formatter flow (without the
       key= prefix).

       Command specific options:

       -a replicator_socket_path
              This option is used to specify an absolute path to an
              alternative UNIX domain socket.

              By default doveadm(1) will use the socket
              /var/run/dovecot/replicator-doveadm.  The socket may be located
              in another directory, when the default base_dir setting was
              overridden in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.

ARGUMENTS
       user_mask
              Specifies for which users the command should be executed.  In
              most cases you would like to use patterns which contains
              wildcards, e.g. \*@example.net for all users of the example.net
              domain, or simply \* for all users.

              When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the
              iterate_query setting in
              /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches your
              database layout.  When using the LDAP userdb module, make sure
              that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in
              /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP
              schema.  Otherwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all
              users.

COMMANDS
   replicator add
       doveadm replicator add [-a replicator_socket_path] user_mask

       Add the specified user(s) to the replicator.  If the user_mask contains
       "?" or "*" wildcards, the list of usernames is looked up from the
       userdb.

   replicator dsync-status
       doveadm replicator dsync-status [-a replicator_socket_path]

       Show the status for the currently running dsync processes.

   replicator remove
       doveadm replicator remove [-a replicator_socket_path] username

       Remove the specified user from replicator.

   replicator replicate
       doveadm replicator replicate [-a replicator_socket_path] [-f] [-p
       priority] user_mask

       Start replication for the specified users now.  If the -f parameter is
       given, full replication is done for the user.  You can also specify the
       priority, which can be either high  or  low.  If the user mask contains
       "?" or "*" wildcards, the list of usernames is looked up from the users
       that currently exist in replicator (not from the userdb).

   replicator status
       doveadm replicator status [-a replicator_socket_path] user_mask

       Show the replication status for users.
