Cloudron keeps DELETING my SMTP plugin!!!

[svtx]

Hi folks,
so this is BEYOND annoying. I have told Cloudron to stay the eff out of my emails (WooCOmmerce shop) and it simply DELETES the SMTP plugin on its on, time and time again. Is this some kind of JOKE?

[svtx]

That's on WP (Dev), of course.

@svtx email is one of the things Cloudron managers along with SSO (OIDC/LDAP), redis configuration etc. To disable email auto-configuration, disable it in the email section of the app - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#disable-email-configuration

[svtx]

Well, that's the thing, I have! Then I went to install my own SMTP plugin and when I refreshed the page it was GONE.

[joseph]

@svtx so, after you install the plugin, you refresh the page and it's gone? The cloudron packaging code does not even run unless the app is restarted. The issue seems is then different from what I thought it was.

Does this happen with other plugins ? Or just the SMTP plugin? Which one?

[svtx]

Yes, and not once but TWICE now.
This is the plugin I've used: https://wordpress.org/plugins/smtp-mailer/

[svtx]

Fun fact, if I use any other SMTP plugin, then it stays...

[joseph]

@svtx ahhh. I thought you used some other plugin. This is indeed a bug . Are you able to use some other mail plugin for the moment (till we fix the package?) .

[joseph]

@girish maybe we should not uninstall the plugin here - https://git.cloudron.io/packages/wordpress-developer-app/-/blob/master/start.sh?ref_type=heads#L154

[svtx]

As long as it doesn't get nuked off, I can live with using another plugin, yes. Thanks for taking a look at it and I agree, no hosting system should EVER delete any plugins from a website without clear instructions to do so.

[joseph]

@svtx yes, other plugins won't get nuked. Just this specific one is also used by the package so it's trying to do some auto-configuration magic.
