My feedback on iRedMail

I finally checked out this product after sticking with containerized solution for few months. And the fact i can have even lighter load on my server by not having docker's overhead is a plus. So here it is, my suggestions for iRedMail:
1. I wish IPv6 is enabled by default on all of Nginx, Postfix, and Dovecot.
2. Since the upcoming Roundcube 1.7 explicitly states that instances of it must point to public_html directory, i made changes in roundcube.tmpl file:

#
# Running Roundcube as a subfolder on an existing virtual host
#
# Block access to default directories and files under these directories

#Tiffany: Delete block rules because in Roundcube 1.7, public_html directory becomes the explicit default.

# Redirect URI `/mail` to `/mail/`.
location = /mail {
    return 301 /mail/;
}

location ~ ^/mail/(.*\.php)$ {
    include /etc/nginx/templates/hsts.tmpl;
    include /etc/nginx/templates/fastcgi_php.tmpl;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /opt/www/roundcubemail/public_html/$1;
}

location ~ ^/mail/(.*) {
    alias /opt/www/roundcubemail/public_html/$1;
    index index.php;
}

And yes, Roundcube works fine after that.
3. I did get another domain working that i want to use to access Roundcube and iRedAdmin with following in `/etc/nginx/sites-available/tranz.conf`:

server {
server_name tranzhex.net;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
ssl_certificate /opt/cfcerts/tranz.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /opt/cfcerts/tranz.key;
    include /etc/nginx/templates/misc.tmpl;
#    include /etc/nginx/templates/ssl.tmpl;
    include /etc/nginx/templates/iredadmin.tmpl;
    include /etc/nginx/templates/roundcube.tmpl;
    include /etc/nginx/templates/sogo.tmpl;
    include /etc/nginx/templates/netdata.tmpl;
    include /etc/nginx/templates/php-catchall.tmpl;
    include /etc/nginx/templates/stub_status.tmpl;
}

4. In the attached photo, the ipv6 address field is overflown with the iredadmin promo. you might need to reduce the left and right padding on the page.
That's all for my feedback, props to iRedMail developers for making self-hosters life easier, and see you if i ever have any problems
