Hello, is there any way to modify webcit UI to get rid of all the JS and, obviously, the need of it?
Citadel could be a great work group solution for freedom fighters, dissident or rebel people who need to organize themselves. Those who live in a dictactorship, or a war situation, in example. This software could be run as a Hidden Service in the Tor network but the fact it requires JS to be usable, makes it a nay for Tor users, who actively discard using any service that makes their browser execute code.
The telnet interface is great but when they need to work with images or formatted text it is not suitable.
I have seen a couple of hidden services using Citadel but they do it as it comes, with JS on.
How do I configure my citadel email with Gmail in order to send messages using citadel email from Gmail?

You're not the first to mention this, and it's a reasonable thing to ask.
As you've probably discovered already, you can reach Uncensored on the I2P network using HTTP, Telnet, or the Citadel client. They all work, but none are ideal. A couple of people here in the community enjoy using a locally installed Citadel client because it reduces keystroke lag, but it does require a bit of setup and, as you correctly pointed out, it does not display images or any media other than text.
That having been said, we won't close the door to the idea of creating an "alternative" web client that is just straight HTTP transactions. It would basically look like the text client, but with HTML formatted output. What I have in mind is that you'd get the same user experience, and at the end of the screen there would be some simple navigation buttons.
There's even the possibility of making it integrate directly into Tor and/or I2P networks instead of requiring a proxy. We're totally open to things like that.
Do be aware, however, that the current priority is completing a new web client that is exactly the opposite, one that does *more* of its execution inside the user's web browser instead of less. Once this client reaches feature parity with its predecessor and can replace it, then we will start working on other things. Don't be discouraged, though -- the new client also brings with it a complete REST/DAV web API for the Citadel system, which will make other clients even easier to build.
I hope this is the correct room.
I am new to Citadel and would like to install it on a production server. I am testing it out right now on a personal computer running Linux with no public IP.
I am not able to configure the server on an email client to send and receive email. I have tried Thunderbird. It detects the server correctly but then complains
"Unable to login at server. probably wrong configuration, username or password".
I am able to send and receive email through Mutt though.
Wonder what else I need to configure.
Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Hello everyone,
I operate a very small invite-only/application membership Pub*nix server over at publicaccess.club.
We Have recently installed a docker install of Citadel and I used apt to install Citadel-webcit since it appeared absent or needed to be installed separately.
I set webcit to run on internal alongside my Apache2 server. It’s currently set to run on ports 2000 and 2002 for http/https respectively.
I also added a virtualhost for the bbs which is directed to look at bbs.publicaccess.club.
so, it appears atleast the text message server is running, which is perfect cause thats what I was hoping for, however it doesn’t appear when in head over to bbs.publicacces.club that webcit is running at all.
Can someone kindly help me?
Thanks!
Are you putting "https:/bbs.publicaccess.club:2002" in the URL?

Hello,
I've got a strange problem.. I'm running Citadel since a few years now and suddenly the sending of mails stopped to work (since last Wednesday I guess).
I do receive mails but when I send a mail I receive a "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)" after a few hours telling me that
A message you sent has not been delivered to some or all of its recipients. Citadel will continue attempting delivery for five days. The following addresses were undeliverable: xxx@protonmail.com: 421 ()
A netcat on port 25 is working, so the port isn't blocked by my ISP and the last time I changed a firewall rule is long ago.
I run citadel on a Raspberry Pi 4 (Buster).
citserver: Version 949 (build fbd0e65f9) ***
Did anyone experience this?
Your data files are in /usr/local/citadel/data
You can shut down the Citadel service, move that directory somewhere else, and make /usr/local/citadel/data a symbolic link to the new location. It'll do the right thing.
If you want to do it the "fancy" way, you can look at [ https://www.citadel.org/how_may_i_improve.html ] to learn how to explicitly configure a separate location.
Thank you for your help

I want to try a different smart host but I can't figure out the correct syntax. In the documentation is this:
https://www.citadel.org/relay.html
[smtp[s]://][username:password@]host[:port]
But my problem is the username is "username@xxx.com". How to write it correctly?
I tried this:
smtps://username@xxx.com:password@mail.xxx.com:465
But it doesn't seem to work. Does someone know how to write it correctly?
Subject: Re: suddenly no mail delivery anymore
According to [ https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/609888/how-to-escape-in-curl-command-password-field ] the libcurl library allows you to use URL escapes, so if your username has a @ in it you might try changing that to %40 , something like this: 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.
Thank you AJC for the answer

Try escaping the first '@' character. Some systems will accept %40 instead.

Hi,
During installation progress i selected option two to set up a LDAP server for my users. My LDAP server is FreeIPA. I can get users with binded admin account or any other account by using ldapsearch.
# ldapsearch -x -b "cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=test,dc=io" -h ldap.test.io -D "uid=admin,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=test,dc=io" -W
However i am not able to get users and I get an errors like this;
# ./citserver
...

Ok, that's absolutely perfect. Give me some time to check what's happening there.
This error shouldn't happen, because the code at line 52 of ldap.c is actually checking to make sure it isn't trying to work with a NULL value. It's kind of weird.
Can you tell me what version of Citadel you're using, and give us a brief idea of what your LDAP schema looks like? In particular, I am interested in knowing what attribute holds the "display name" of the user. I suspect "cn" isn't the right one, but that's what we're using.
Hi,
I reinstalled my citadel server and LDAP server (FreeIPA) with different domain name. The result didn't change.
I used easy install to install citeadel server. From "About this server" i see that information: "You are connected to Citadel Server, running Citadel 949 with WebCit 949, server build 949 and located in (null). Your system administrator is ."
When i run ldapsearch command i got the following output:

I think this output will give you an information about LDAP schema.
