* ci: Revise `question.yml` to better clarify the issue tracker is not for support queries
Users have been making low effort reports (_bypassing the dedicated form_) through this alternative that is intended for addressing other concerns related to the project - not troubleshooting user problems.
When a user does not want to put the effort in of a full bug report (_and following our debug docs tips that it refers them to_), they should be using the Github Discussions page which provides the same free-form input, but should not require attention of project devs (contributors / maintainers).

The markdown rendered field above the "Description" input field didn't seem too relevant for this template. I've opted for a markdown comment (so it won't render if kept) into the input field with hopes that'll be more visible to the readers attention.
* chore: Fix typo
docs: Add compatibility section to debugging page
ci: Adjust bug report template
Reduce some text + compress the preliminary checks down to single check item.
Simplify the bug report form further by dropping / merging form sections.
Change Overview:
- Minor revisions and formatting changes (_multi-line pipe operator, emoji, fix typos, etc_).
- Collapsed OS + Arch into single input field (_not much benefit from the two additional dropdown items_).
- Description/reproduction and expectation sections revised (_expectation intent is typically inferred by the issue description, while detailed reproduction steps can belong a separate optional section_).
- Removed platform dropdown (_Windows and macOS are mentioned in description as unsupported_).
- Removed experience checkboxes (_context doesn't really change responses_).
- Removed the orchestrator dropdown (_we don't seem to use this information, it's just noise_)
- Relocate the DMS version + OS/Arch sections to come after the Reproduction steps.
Misc spelling fixes and resolved imprecise statements. Shortened the bug
report introduction a bit further and added a statement about being
precise to all templates.
* docs: change some absolute links to relative links
* docs: change most hard-coded links to `edge` to point to `latest`
* Apply suggestions from code review
* docs: revert 404 page to edge and change canonical link to `latest

If permissions are specified at the workflow level, any that are not explicitly set became `none` and jobs cannot request that to change.
Permissions are therefore scoped to the job itself.
* ci(fix): Temporarily avoid specifying `provenance`
As the test workflow does not use the `docker-container` buildx driver, it uses the Docker Engine bundled BuildKit version which until v23 release does not support attestations.
Likewise the current buildx version in CI is `0.10.0` which does not respect `--provenance false`, the presence of the option appears to trigger a BuildKit version compatibility check and fail early before it considers the value of the option.
* chore: Use buildx `docker-container` driver instead
An alternative solution to omitting `provenance: false` (_not supported by buildx 0.10.0 with default `docker` driver when Docker Engine bundles BuildKit less than 0.10.0, which is the case prior to the Docker Engine v23 release_).
This approach provides more consistency with the build and publish workflows by using the same buildx `docker-container` driver (_and thus newer BuildKit, enabling support for `provenance: false`_).
* chore: Revise test workflow inline docs
Buildx `docker-container` driver is not needed here, but it does seem like it improves cache-hit ratio when building from the retrieved build cache (from the earlier build workflow). Possibly due to building with the same BuildKit version.
* chore: Remove `backup` target from Makefile
- The `backup` target is no longer serving any value to us. It was made redundant with changes added in Oct 2020.
- `clean` target inline docs revised.
- `.gitignore` remove test lines that are no longer valid.
* chore: Parallel test target split to multi-line
* tests(fix): Test `setup.sh` with temporary config dir
The `no_containers.bats` test has many redundant test cases already covered by `setup-cli`. They're basically identical. Removed all but one.
This removes some config dirs that were being explicitly created instead of using the test helper to generate a directory that can be used to test the `-p` option instead.
* ci: Ensure tests are run when `Makefile` is modified
These updates support running tests that have been relocated into `serial` and `parallel/set*` directories.
- `make tests` now calls the two make targets beneath it. The only difference is that `serial` continues the "1 test at a time" approach used prior to this PR, while the `parallel` target increases the `--jobs` arg to run multiple tests concurrently (_configured by `PARALLEL_JOBS`_).
- The `test/%` target leverages Bash syntax magic to ease running single tests without providing the exact path.
- This syntax also supports providing multiple test names (eg: `make test/clamav,template`) to run.
- `**` (globstar) allows for future improvements that can group multiple test files into sub-directories by their scope (eg: anti-spam, ssl, etc).
---
chore: Add `shopt -s globstar` to other targets
I realized that other targets should have this as well in case it is not set.
It is better to be more explicit here than to have weird errors due to `**` not expanding properly.
---
fix(Makefile): Add back `.PHONY` targets
I encountered `make` telling me the target was already up-to-date, which of course is nonsense.
I therefore added back the `.PHONY` targets to ensure tests are always run.
---
docs: Added instructions for running a single test
See https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/pull/2857/files#r1008582760
This new script is a clean way of handling the installation of packages.
I think the huge `RUN` command in `Dockerfile` was hard to read and
maintain.
Using a script is a non-issue, as the image is rebuilt whenever the
script is touched.

The build arguments `VCS_REF` and `VCS_VER` were renamed and given
proper values according to their names.
1. `VCS_REVISION` holds the current SHA sum of the (git) HEAD pointer
2. `VCS_VERSION` now holds the contents of the `VERSION` file, i.e. a
semver version tag (one can now inspect the image and find a proper
version tag in the `org.opencontainers.image.version` label)
The build arguments were given defaults in order to allow the
`generic_build` and `generic_test` workflows to omit them (as they are
not need there anyways). When publishing images, this is fina as the
cache will rebuild almost all of the image except the last few layers
which are `LABEL`s anyways.
Mew re-usable workflows are introduced to handle building, testing and publishing the container
image in a uniform and easy way. Now, the `scheduled_builds`, `default_on_push`
and a part of the `test_merge_requests` workflow can use the same code
for building, testing and publishing the container images. This is DRY.

* ci: Cache builds by splitting into two jobs
For the cache to work properly, we need to derive a cache key from the build context (files that affect the Dockerfile build) instead of the cache key changing by commit SHA.
We also need to avoid a test suite failure from preventing the caching of a build, thus splitting into separate jobs.
This first attempt used `upload-artifact` and `download-artifact` to transfer the built image, but it has quite a bit of overhead and prevented multi-platform build (without complicating the workflow further).
* ci: Transfer to dependent job via cache only
While `download-artifact` + `docker load` is a little faster than rebuilding the image from cached layers, `upload-artifact` takes about 2 minutes to upload the AMD64 (330MB) tar image export (likely due to compression during upload?).
The `actions/cache` approach however does not incur that hit and is very quick (<10 secs) to complete it's post upload work. The dependent job still gets a cache-hit, and the build job is able to properly support multi-platform builds.
Added additional notes about timing and size of including ARM builds.
* ci: Move Dockerfile ARG to end of build
When the ARG changes due to commit SHA, it invalidates all cache due to the LABEL layers at the start. Then any RUN layers implicitly invalidate, even when the ARG is not used.
Introduced basic multi-stage build, and relocated the container config / metadata to the end of the build. This avoids invalidating expensive caching layers (size and build time) needlessly.
The new version uses our `log.sh` helper to simplify logging
significantly. Moreover, the script was adjusted to the current style
and the GitHub workflow was streamlined. The workflow is ot providing
the version anymore (which was useless anyway), and has been compacted.
