Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/axllent/mailpit/issues/420

Is installation from builder images supported?

I tried to find a way to copy binary from the docker images but did not find a binary location

COPY --from=mailpit:v1.21.8 /usr/bin/mailpit /usr/local/bin/mailpit

Possible workaround is to download release from github, but would be nice to install from docker as well.

RUN wget https://github.com/axllent/mailpit/releases/download/v1.21.8/mailpit-linux-386.tar.gz && \
    tar -xzf mailpit-linux-386.tar.gz && \
    chmod +x mailpit && \
    mv mailpit /usr/local/bin/mailpit && \
    rm mailpit-linux-386.tar.gz

Your mileage may vary given that the docker executable is compiled and used within Alpine Linux which does not use glibc, however the binary in the docker image is /mailpit (so not in /usr/bin/). Hope this helps?
