Hello Everyone!
I have installed Citadel on my RPI 3+ with the latest 32-bit RPI OS using the easy install method. It worked well, except that all uploaded files became corrupt.
I compared an uploaded PDF with the original and it wasn't all gibberish, but there seemed to be extra data for some reason. I am booting off of an SSD, but have had the same problem using an SD card. I thought the SSL certificates might be the problem, but creating new ones didn't help.
I am going to try a different OS and see what happens.
If anyone knows off the top of their head why this might be happening, please let me know!
Thank you,
-Adam
Permissions on your /citadel/files directory. Try it - you don't have access.
Chown it and uploads will start working.

Hey all,
I'm using Citadel on Debian, and I'm running into a slight issue. Uploading attachments is fine and dandy, linking images is fine and dandy, but you can't upload for use inline.
Any ideas on where to start looking? I've tried digging thru stuff for TinyMCE but I think I just am misunderstanding where I should even be looking.
Thanks in advance!

Before, I had a similar situation due to pop-up blocks.
In webcit, using copy-paste works for me.
The Citadel logo works to.

But it works in Thunderbird too.
Examples:
Copy+paste

Ah. So there's no specific Upload to use inline functionality? The copy/paste part works, but I'm trying to see if it will just attach an image and you can use it as part of your message, or not.
Thanks, though. Didn't know copy-paste worked until you brought it up.
In first message I use Firefox/webcit.
But it works in Thunderbird too.

If you copy and paste an image into the WebCit editor, it *should* do the right thing. In this case, the "right thing" is that it gets converted to a data: URI and embedded in the text.
I do agree that this could be a bit more elegant but we are in the process of completely overhauling WebCit and the new version will definitely be more modern.
same issue
I noticed with the latest easy-install version of citadel sending mails via some clients (Fairemail) is not possible because smtp's AUTH LOGIN throws a "500 No such user" error when submitting an existing user name.
AUTH PLAIN is working fine.So i guess smtp LOGIN is broken.
Can this be fixed or LOGIN removed from available AUTH methods?
Or is just something wrong with my setup?
We got the same issue:
auth login + crlf
encodedUsername
500 no such user
But login this way will be ok:
auth login + encodedUsername
encodedPwd
BTW, "AUTH LOGIN" works fine on version 917, so this may be a specific issue of version 931.
Have you done an update from Easy Install any time since June 5? That is the date the issue was fixed.
If your update is newer than that, we will reopen this issue; otherwise please upgrade.

We installed CITADEL of Easy Install in mid-Aug with "curl https://easyinstall.citadel.org/install | bash", and we will reinstall in a few days, just in case.
Hello, im Stuck configuring the Smarthost the right way.
I have a
username: user@example.com
passwort: passwrd
a smtp server: example.smtp.com
a port: 25 or 587
I found this on the website:
[smtp[s]://][username:password@]host[:port]
smtp://user@example.com:passwrd@example.smtp.com:587 does not work.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for you help!
smtp://user%40example.com:password@example.smtp.com:587
Citadel uses libcurl to send mail, so whatever is valid for libcurl will be valid for Citadel.
Tank you very much, that worked!
So, thank you to everyone that helped with my previous little misunderstanding about how things worked with the text editor incorporated into Citadel.
Now, I have a more.. serious issue. I was trying to change the login image, and it got corrupted on upload, which has now apparently borked the snot out of the login screen.
.....help? I'm trying to figure where it's saved and/or at least looking where I can make revertible changes to make it not try to serve said file, but I'm...not having luck.
Thanks!
first of all Im newby to configuring servers.
i just installed citadel mail server on my VPS with easy install but now I realized that I can send emails from Citadal Meil Server but I cant recieve them.
I didnt change anything on my VPS. I just installed ubuntu 20 on it and started installing Citadel.

Room banners and other such objects are stored in a hidden room called "Local System Configuration"
You can go there with the text client, find the one you want, and delete its message.

cant recieve them.
Make sure your VPS provider allows port 25 to be open. And futhermore, make sure there isn't already some other program listening on port 25.
Try this:
telnet <your server> 25
If the SMTP banner does not materialize at all, port 25 is blocked (or Citadel is not running).
If the SMTP banner does not say "citadel" in it, some other program is listening there.
