    @johnbolt For all apps, the email setup is automated and managed in the cloudron packages. So for both the managed and unmanaged apps, they are already setup to send mail via Cloudron. If you are looking to change how mail is being relayed, do it in the Cloudron dashboard in the Mail -> Outbound view. That way, all apps will send via that relay automatically.

    @affinity Ah, okay, that makes more sense now. Thanks for clarifying. I had forgotten about the “unmanaged” WordPress app not having the recommended plugins for LDAP auth and SMTP and stuff.

    @d19dotca I would add (if you're also moving domain) that in some cases there are remnants of the old domain, and so after doing pretty much what you describe above I tend to use the Better Search and Replace plugin to search for and replace any reference to old domain.

    For the my.example.com exposing real IP, you can simply turn on Cloudflare HTTP proxying (i.e click on the cloud icon in cloudflare dashboard to make it become orange). Cloudron will automatically adapt to this change. For the wordpress issue - Delete the www CNAME record in namecheap. Then go to Cloudron dashboard and click on wordpress app's configure button (the wrench icon that appears when you hover over the app). Then in the Location tab, there is a redirections section. Add www there as a redirection. With that done, you will be able to access www.example.com.

    Please let me know if that helped.

    @mariadjohnson0 On Cloudron, the code of all the apps are "read-only". We do this because rolling updates is an important feature of Cloudron. For example, if you change the code of an app, Cloudron cannot know how to update the app.

    We followed the same approach for WordPress. The code was read-only. WordPress itself could be extended by installing plugins. When a new WP release comes out, we push an update. We call this "Managed WordPress". This app does not have SFTP access.

    However, many users have requested that WordPress code be modifiable. For example, they use WP as the starting point for building web sites. For this case, we created a new app called "Unmanaged WordPress". In this app, the WP code is modifiable. This comes with the restriction that cloudron will not update the WP code by itself. You, the sysadmin, has to track and update WP (using the WP dashboard, for example). This app also has SFTP access.

    (You can view the Unmanaged WP, by going to Settings -> Enable Community apps).

    @ahkg the reason for whitelisting 172.18.0.1 give access to all requests, is that this is the ip of the Cloudron internal gateway into the subnet where all apps are running.

    Unfortunately for your case the cloudron healtcheck also comes via this gateway. I think your htaccess file needs to check for the X-Forwarded-For header to check against the correct inbound address.

    This should be possible to adjust in the smtp settings of the wordpress instance. You can find those at https://<domain>/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp_mail_smtp.php
