There shouldn't be any issues provided your http and SMTP ports are above 1024, and your user has read/write permissions to the database file. Why, are you having issues?

No issues with mailpit. Seems to be a recommended Docker practice. Trying to be prepared, if work makes it required.

If it's of any use, I personally run Mailpit with non-root permissions.
