documentation is lacking + project not working

[roeycohen]

hi @bramanda48, how are you?

it might be worth improving the documentation of the installation process, and also on how the authentication works.

after some effort i was able to make an authenticated request to the service and got this error:

{
	"statusCode": 500,
	"metadata": {
		"request": {
			"timestamp": "2025-12-14T10:08:49.015Z",
			"method": "GET",
			"path": "/api/v1/email"
		},
		"pagination": null
	},
	"errors": [
		{
			"code": "INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR",
			"message": "Deno.iter(...) is not a function or its return value is not async iterable",
			"stack": "Error: Deno.iter(...) is not a function or its return value is not async iterable\n    at Yc (file:///tmp/docker-mailserver/src/middlewares/error.middleware.ts:46:19)\n    at s (https://deno.land/x/hono@v4.0.8/compose.ts:51:25)\n    at eventLoopTick (ext:core/01_core.js:187:7)\n    at async file:///tmp/docker-mailserver/src/middlewares/apikey-auth.middleware.ts:23:5\n    at async s (https://deno.land/x/hono@v4.0.8/compose.ts:45:17)\n    at async file:///tmp/docker-mailserver/src/middlewares/demo.middleware.ts:14:7\n    at async s (https://deno.land/x/hono@v4.0.8/compose.ts:45:17)\n    at async https://deno.land/x/hono@v4.0.8/middleware/pretty-json/index.ts:10:5\n    at async s (https://deno.land/x/hono@v4.0.8/compose.ts:45:17)\n    at async https://deno.land/x/hono@v4.0.8/middleware/cors/index.ts:88:5"
		}
	],
	"data": null
}

can you help?
thanks,

To anyone looking for a working solution, i've created this very simple project:
https://github.com/roeycohen/docker-mailserver-api

[sskver]

here is how i fixed this:

# cat user-patches.sh
 
#!/bin/bash
curl -fsSL https://deno.land/install.sh | sh
cp /root/.deno/bin/deno /usr/bin/deno
deno upgrade --version 1.46.3
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bramanda48/docker-mailserver-webapi/master/scripts/user-patches.sh | bash
