Thu Jul 25 2024 08:25:36 EDT from luisgo Subject: Citadel became unsuable.

Dear All,

1st I had to delete or move (to a local folder (Thunderbird)) 2 months of sent and received emails. I done such operation with Thunderbird.

2nd The data folder (/usr/local/citadel/data) had 2.6GBytes occupied.

3rd With that operation many log files were generated and the disk became full (about 9 GBytes in data folder). Citadel became unusable. I used a old data backup to recover.

Could you provide a solution for this do not happen again? Perhaps do not generate the log files.

Thanks for the support that will be provided,

Luís Gonçalves.

 

I think that this problem was solved in the last version of Thunderbird for Windows (Nebula).

Previous version deleted email by email generating big logs.

This new version deletes a group of emails at once generating no so much (big space) logs files.

Hi,

I've been using citadel on and off for a while now, and so far, the experience is great. I was installing citadel on another system for another use case, and just found out there's a docker version. I pulled the image, like the commands on the site say, and now it's stuck in a loop trying to start webcit:

ctdlvisor: pid=278 exited, status=25856, exitcode=101
ctdlvisor: webcit (HTTP) running on pid=279
ctdlvisor: executing webcit (http)
ctdlvisor: pid=279 exited, status=25856, exitcode=101
ctdlvisor: webcit (HTTP) running on pid=280
ctdlvisor: executing webcit (http)

and so on for every other PID that isn't being used. I can't find anything on how to solve this. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Support,

There  is another feature that disappeared.

The SEARCH function for the bulletin style email reader.

So here it works under MAIL

Then it DISAPPEARS under the show as BULLETIN board style. I also found it to be really handy to be able to read emails like a bulletin board then be able to find key words in my emails.

Thanks!

I figure I could just overwrite the .gif file, but would rather have it use PNG and a different name so it doesn't get overwritten on future updates. Any tips?

I had a user request the option to use de_DE language rather than the en_US it uses by default. Is this a option?

I had a user request a way to display the privacy policy I generated for people in the EU. Is there a way to add a menu item in the left menu-bar? Or a better way to do this?

Hi there,

I successfully (I think) installed the dockerized version of Citadel, opening the needed tcp inbound ports, the web part is behing a Caddy instance and the whole things seems to work well, with two users on two different domains, I'm sending and receiving mail correctly.

Now, when I try to connect a mail client to this Citadel instance it fails, with Thunderbird, Outlook classic or emClient. I tried to connect manually with telnet on port 143 and the server anwers correctly.

So, I didn't find on the Citadel web site any recommendations for setting up a mail client, maybe there is an extra configuration needed on the server ?

Thanks

thunderbird should auto-detect the settings if you give it your email address and password. Works for me on that platform and other users of my server find that's true too.

That always worked for me as well.

Ah, thanks for your reply but I think the default self-signed certificated generated by Citadel is refused by the mail clients, can you confirm that you had to setup a "real" certificate ?

Not that it helps you but all my certs are done via an 'external' NGNIX server..  ( it also handles all my DNS name -> IP/port routing since im stuck with one external IP address to use )

It's working now, as I guessed Citadel needed real certificates, I used one automatically generated by the Caddy already used as a reverse proxy for the Citadel web access, and it worked !

I imagine that it's quite close to your own solution, thanks.

Can you clarify please ... was there a previous version of Citadel in which this appeared differently, or are you pointing out the difference between the Mail and Forums view and requesting the search box in one of them?

And if it is an older version where it worked differently, what version was that? WebCit-classic hasn't been significantly modified in quite some time but we can run a diff and see if something was accidentally lost.

MAIL

BULLETIN BOARD

BLOG

would all have the SEARCH function ontop of the "view as"

It was a few version earlier, when you still have the OPENID

I am trying to setup remote retrieval of my messages from a pop server. Citadel only allows me to enter one mailbox to retrieve mail from per pop server. I have several mailboxes all on the same pop server that I need to add.  Please advise how this can be achieved.

Is there a way to extract the private key for backup, and later to restore the backup to avoid modifying DNS records?
