Can someone tell me how to install Citadel server on Debian 11? It
looks like it is not supported (only on 10.3). Thank you!
Citadel runs just fine on Debian 11 (in fact, that's what this site is running).
What you won't find anymore is .DEB packages in the repository, which is just fine because they tended to be outdated anyway.
Try running the container version using Docker, or run the Easy Install.
Either one will produce a running system that is excellent on Debian.
This is strange. I typed my message on my system, then tried to paste it here in forum. Looks like I need to re-type it directly here.
I have VPS running debian 1 GB memory. I do not have domain name. Will citadel quick install work? What info will I need to input?
I need a mail server.
But yes, you do need the domain, unless you intend to intend to have email addresses that look like "ucme3@vps-12-34-56.xyz.myprovider.com". And even then, you'll have trouble sending mail to anyone with even a remotely good spam filter.
At the minimum, you'll need to set up MX and SPF records in your domain.
If your VPS provider allows you to change your Reverse DNS record to whatever you want, that's a plus, but it's not strictly required.
I hear that I will need domain name, MX records, SPF records, VPS server. Anything else? I am not experienced with some of these. After more research I could try. Or can someone do install and setup for me? And tell me more about mail. Can I send and receive anywhere on WWW? And will citadel work on off-line localhost test enviroment, or does it need to connect to a special on-line site?
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 :

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

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?

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.
