Can someone refresh me on exactly how you set up ssh so that it automatically loads citserver on a client establishing a SSH session?
I've forgotten a bunch of things - and I'm in a bit of a hurry to get back up to speed. I can RTFM if necessary and re-teach myself, but I'm hoping this will avoid that.

Do you mean that you want to connect to the text mode client when a user connects with SSH?
If so, create a system account (usually called `bbs`) with no password, and make its shell `/usr/local/citadel/citadel`.
That is what I meant - I forgot how to set a user's shell. I'm sure it is a . file in their home directory, right?
The thing has been so rock-solid on Proxmox I've gotten rusty on Linux again.
But I figured out all my problems. Well, not all of them - but the ones that were troubling me today. I always do that, I come running here freaking out, hoping for answers from you experts, then while I'm waiting, I eff around with it until I figure it out myself. It is like a ritual for me at this point.

It's one of the fields in /etc/passwd

Hello Fellas,
Have set up citadel for use with my private email domains and such and am using plusnet's relay server (relay.plus.net) for sending email.
Have encountered that whenever I send mail my Connection gets reset according to my browser. This is quite annoying though the emails seem to get delivered all right.
Anyone got any advice? Here is a screenshot of what appears after I press Send message :
(This happens on all browsers)
How do I set up SMTP Banner Mismatch in Citadel?
has anyone gotten opendkim to work with Citadel?
I am getting an login failure when I enable the opendkim as a smart host in Citadel
I use postfix as a MTA with opendkim, and opendmarc as a milter https://citadel.org/configuring_postfix_to_validate_email_addresses_against_a_citadel_server.html
Change Citadel port 25 to say 2525
Install postfix
Setup postfix to send the email to citadel
Configure Citadel to relay out through postfix (smarthost 127.0.0.1:25)

Thanks, I thought about installing Postfix, but was not sure of the benefits and problems doing so.
I install it tonight,
I am not sure if this is a Thunderbird issue or a Citadel issue, but when I send an email either from Thunderbird or Citadel it shows up as unread in the sent folder on both places.
Also new contacts are highlighted in the Folders is there a way to "Read" them?

sent folder on both places.
Thunderbird saves a copy of sent mail by default. Citadel does this too on the server side.
Turn it off in Thunderbird and you will be fine.

Thanks for all your help.
Hi there, using parrot OS as my main base to install citadel unto (debian based) and i'm getting some dependencies issues.
yeeeesss.... I know I am new to linux, and yeeesss, I know this is something that requires advanced knowledge of linux, and yeeesss, I know I could have gotten a clean bullseye debian distro to work with - I am learning and I learn by fixing issues, at least thats the idea here.
In any event, could someone point me to the issue here? Looks like my packages are newer but the easy install script won't recognize them?
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libcurl4-openssl-dev : Depends: libcurl4 (= 7.74.0-1.3+deb11u5) but 7.87.0-2~bpo11+1 is to be installed
libldap2-dev : Depends: libldap-2.4-2 (= 2.4.57+dfsg-3+deb11u1) but 2.4.59+dfsg-1~bpo11+1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Citadel Easy Install is aborting.
The last few lines above this message may indicate what went wrong.
Linux Debian parrot( 6.0.0-12parrot1-amd64 x86_64)
Subject: Re: Dependencies issue with easy install
if I run this in a VM or docker or whatnot I will need to dabble in port forwarding, nginx, SSL, and that will be another huge headache for me. I'd rather have this run straight out of the box so i can by-pass the networking side of it as much as possible.
Is the only way to proceed here to either install an older version of the packages, or run a container?

I understand your concern. You want server software to simply open up ports on the host machine instead of having to forward the ports through a container orchestration layer.
If you use Docker, you can launch the container with `--network host` and the container will operate in the host system's network namespace. That means you don't have to forward ports for example, from eth0 to docker0 or whatever.
The ports offered by the container simply listen on 0.0.0.0 or ::1 on the host system (assuming, of course, that there are no other programs listening on those ports).
If you really have a strong preference to use the Easy Install build, I would suggest that you extract the `apt install` command from the Easy Install script and just execute it at the command line, and work out what it takes to get those packages installed without having to launch a Citadel install with each attempt. I don't know much about your particular Linux distribution but maybe someone else here does?
