Hi guys

I've installed Citadel on my Ubuntu server, it works great. Still I have two questions, hope you can help me:

As I plan to use Citadel in our AREDN Mesh Network, I don't need the login options like Yahoo, Google etc... how can I get rid of them? (where can I deactivate them, so they don't appear on the Login screen)

The screen looks like it's compressed, i.e. I don't have the "language" drop down field in the upper left corner as you see it here, but the text "en_US" shows halfway in the "summary" button. Any Idea how I could correct that? It's not sooo problematic but just looks a bit ugly.

I'm not a tech guy, especially not for Linux stuff, so if you can help me, please try do do it in a "for dummies" format ;-)

Thanks for your help in advance!

Kind regards

Kurt

i'have only the info what stay in citanews, about next versions

On the shell run sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales, and choose the languages you want.

hi, the issue is I had a mailbox user named INFO with the email info@domain.com.

I deleted this mailbox so I could add the info@ address to another user's alias..

when I try to add this email address to the others users alias, it accepts it... however, when I go back in to user record the alias has GONE!

I assume the old INFO mailbox is still present somewhere in the backend but I cant find it... how do I clean this up?

Craig.

I fixed it by rebuilding the index :)  seems there is a bug when deleting users.

So I see I was exploring this last August!   Then I got awfully busy and now am at the point I need to finish this up.

I don't think I can use let's encrypt because I'm not (yet) hosting my web domains on the same server, and from what I'm reading, I would need to.  No biggie for me, I can pay $15 a year for the domains I need to support to get my certs signed.

I'm interested in your reverse proxy setup.   In your proxy, you have, say, mail.example1.com and mail.example2.com certificates.  When the proxy forwards to Citadel, how does it resolve, say, joe@example1.com from joe@example2.com?   In other words, let's say I have example1.com and example2.com listed in my local hosts in Citadel.  Of course, then I have a user "joe".   When an email arrives at my proxy as "joe@example1.com" and is forwarded to Citadel, does it just use the propagated headers to file it to the proper mail box?

Wed Aug 10 2022 14:36:24 EDT from mrsfeathers Subject: Re: Is Citadel multi-tennant?

it would CERT-ainly be the easiest way, as afaik citadel was made for small use cases and only takes one cert.. so you'd have to combine them. easiest way to combine them and keep them up to date is lets encrypt.. and the mail server should be visible at least at mail.example1.com and mail.example2.com if you set it up right with multidomains.. and when you request mail.example1.com and mail.example2.com it SHOULD also grant example1.com and example2.com by default... so even if your mail server isn't the main website on the domain, it should work. for me, i have an nginx reverse proxy on my domain.tld and mail is mail.domain.tld and all my certs are handled by the reverse proxy which then just has a cron that rsyncs them to all the other web-facing servers in my network daily, so every system always has up to date certs and if a system fails, i get notified about it via the cron email thingy and i just have the rsync directory be the one that citadel takes its certs from and then just forget about it. of course, make sure you can only log into whatever user via SSH certs and not passwords, because that's safer.

Just got a new server and migrated all data over. 4.5GB total 150000 objects

there is one issue and its been going for a day now writing to disk.

Can anyone give details how this function works or if this is normal operation

True fact: I spend most of my work day playing a game, I think it's called "Forgot My Password" and its a clickable link on almost every website invented since geocities. I click that game and it invariably although somewhat different per site, gives me clues as to how to reset a forgotten password. I know passwords should never be written down and post-it noted near the computer, so I go a step further and not only refuse to write passwords down, but also I refuse to commit them to my own memory.

I tried (without success, probably due to my ADD or Alcoholism or both) to implement a "Forgot my Password" routine in webcit for citadel.smashbot.com. I think IRRC the problem I ran into, if I remember correctly, sans repeating myself was that webcit uses Berkeley DB, noSql... I guess I am too stupid to figure out how to do it.

SO- can anyone talk about solving the biggest oversight in the citadel solar system? Forgot My Password! I am tired of being someone else. I started to talk about this very topic and, no...wait, that wasn't me.

One way is to implement U2F authentication with hardware keys that you treat the same as every other important key on a physical keyring.

Mon May 01 2023 23:16:25 EDT from IGnatius T Foobar Subject: Re: How works the automatic message eraser in webcit?

I want to erase all old messages after a year. How do it works? I try it

in

webcit, but it dosnt save these settings?!

Remember that you can apply these settings on an individual room, a floor, or the whole system. Check to see if you're applying it in the correct place.

I want to use this settings for the whole system. I must do it with webcit.

I login as admin, go to the system settings and there is a tab "automatic eraser" and there I can set ph to erase all messages being older than 365 days. I save this but when I open this site the next time, the old standard is shown. No automatic eraser!!

I just installed citadel through easyinstall, how to I get to web client?

Hello all,

I just got Citadel running (installed using Easy-Install on a raspi 0w) and am trying to add an attachment to a post in the lobby. When drafting the message, I added the attachment by clicking on the Attachments tab, but I cannot find the attachment after posting. What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks for your help

After looking through settings a bit deeper, I found it. Thanks to the developers for this awesome tool.

The documentation says there is no alias limit for a user, but I hit a limit.  I have 50 alias of ~20 characters each.  There appears to be a character limit for the alias field on the Admin window.  There is a row entry limit on the user address card.

How can I (more directly?) enter all my aliases?  I look forward to your reply.
