Cypht - Lightweight open source webmail application written in PHP and JavaScript

[Kubernetes]

@timconsidine Thanks for sharing ideas, the path /etc/nginx/conf.d/ is empty

[timconsidine]

Hmmm.
I notice that /run/access.log and /run/error.log are owned root:root and are rw-r--r--
But processes are running as www-data or cloudron ?
Still just chucking stuff around

[robi]

Perhaps it's looking for an environment variable and when not found it uses a default. Set HOME and whatever else nginx looks for with supervisor.

[Kubernetes]

@robi I already tried with HOME, didn't help

[Kubernetes]

Okay, I got one step further after using a symlink in Dockerfile for the error.log

It seems the document root is still broken, because I get
Feb 06 20:22:40=> Healtheck error got response status 502

Okay, this is because of not properly working php

root@da491a6f-01a2-4d9c-859a-e34799e1c3cf:/app/code# tail -f /run/error.log

@Kubernetes Can you tell me why cypht requires nginx? You can just modphp like other apps no? Atleast, that's what I see from https://www.cypht.org/install.html . Does it not work in the LAMP app?

As for apache itself, see cryptpad or discourse or nginx. They have a readonly config for nginx. They configure various paths that nginx wants to write to.

[Kubernetes]

@girish haha, good question! In fact I prefer nginx because I have "more" experience with it than with apache. I got a bit further now, if that keep failing I may change from nginx to apache

[robi]

@Kubernetes hmm, try some debug set commands https://www.baeldung.com/linux/nginx-log-variable-output

this was interesting too:
https://www.baeldung.com/linux/nginx-config-environment-variables
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21866477/nginx-use-environment-variables

or just stick them in a cyclic memory:2m

[Kubernetes]

@girish thanks for pointing me to Apache. I was able to get it running now. Next problem is the authentication.

[girish]

If it has IMAP or SMTP auth, use the "email" addon. Like in roundcube - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/roundcube-app/-/blob/master/config.inc.php?ref_type=heads#L9

[Kubernetes]

No luck today, now I just get an error from the App that Invalid auth configuration.

[robi]

@Kubernetes is that a typo in the start.sh?

#sed -i "s/^imap_auth_tls=.*/imap_auth_tls=${CLOUDRON_EMAIL_IMAPS_PORT}/" /app/data/hm3.ini

IMAP vs IMAPS

[Kubernetes]

@robi I think this is okay. In the current state it is not used anyways, because after a change of the .ini a config generation php script needs to be run. So I have to move that to the Docker Image build process, because during runtime it is read-only...

[Kubernetes]

Okay, here we go...

• The Cypht App is using Apache2 to get served.
• The Login (auth) still fails - I have no idea why.
• The PHP Session caching seems to fail in addition.
• The use of redis db doesn't work at the moment.

The Invalid IMAP auth configuration settings error appeared after I removed the 143 imap port from configuration and kept only 9993 for secure imap

When adding 143 again to the hm3.ini I get this error when trying to login:

Heureka! I got it working now after putting 9993 as "normal/unsecure" imap server port config....
I will prepare the easy installer now and then some more people should check if it works correctly - be carefull and use a dummy mailbox - just in case it starts to run wild and delete emails or so!

During my own tests I found following issues:

• SMTP is not working (outgoing email)
• Profile is not saved - after logout the profile is gone

Excellent, nice work, progress bit by bit!
