    @necrevistonnezr πŸ‘

    1. Install Cypht app (d'uh)

    2. Open the Filemanager for the app and navigate to cypht / hm3.ini

    3. On line 55 change the value to auth_type = IMAP

    4. In the 'IMAP Authentication' section (from line 77 onwards), amend the IMAP server settings to suit your server. I have used the Cloudron one - simples.

    ; IMAP Authentication
    ; -------------------
    ; If auth_type is set to IMAP, configure the IMAP server to authenticate against
    ; with the following settings, otherwise these are ignored.
    ;
    ; This is just a label used in the UI. It can be set to anything
    imap_auth_name=Cloudron
    
    ; The hostname or IP address of the IMAP server to authenticate to
    imap_auth_server=mysupercoolcloudron.server
    
    ; The port the IMAP server is listening on.
    imap_auth_port=993
    
    ; Enable TLS/SSL connections. Leave blank or set to false to disable. Set to
    ; true to enable TLS connections. If you want to use IMAP STARTTLS, do NOT
    ; enable this. This is only for TLS enabled sockets (typically on port 993).
    imap_auth_tls=true
    
    1. On line 157 change the value to user_config_type=file

    This way no db is needed and settings are kept in files.

    1. Make sure that the location for where cypht will place the files exists. For example, on line 165, change the value to user_settings_dir=/app/data/hm3/users

    Line 173 attachment_dir=/app/data/hm3/attachments

    Line 181 app_data_dir=/app/data/hm3/app_data

    1. Save the file and close the Filemanager

    2. Open the Terminal for the app and change to the cypht directory: cd ../data/cypht/

    3. Run the following command to update the config for cypht: sudo php ./scripts/config_gen.php

    4. Get out of the Terminal and restart the app

    5. Login using an appropriate account that authenticates against the IMAP server you added to the config.

    Enjoy and let me know how you get on πŸ™‚

    1. Install Cypht app (d'uh)

    Thanks!
    You left out one juicy part - did you like install this… into the LAMP app? Is there any special folder to use for the source (as per https://cypht.org/install.html)?

      @necrevistonnezr ah, yes πŸ™‚ I just followed the install guide on their website. It's pretty straight forward I found: https://cypht.org/install.html

      The approach is slightly more complex than downloading an archive and pointing it to a database but actually pretty neat and quick.

        Is there a demo of Cypht somewhere? I can't find any on their site.

              This does look good! Has sieve support, imap etc. All the things we need to get it working out of the box with Cloudron mail. Will check it out.

                set the HOME=/app/data env var to make this work

                LAMP app and terminal session should do that automagically IMO @staff

                  @staff Was investigating this independently. Should have realized that Team Cloudron has been scoping it out for years. +1 for bundling this. Seems like a better email option that some others we already have.

                      I started to create a package in my Repo

                      • It is not yet working
                      • PHP needs to be activated in nginx
                      • The hm3.ini is very basic and needs improvement (missing SMTP config, Database Config, LDAP Config)
                      • there might be more issues when PHP is running
                      • easy installer will not be ready before the package is usable

                        Grmpf.... I am totally lost with getting nginx up and running....

                        I receive these error logs:

                        root@b64767c7-9e50-475e-9f57-40b454d06b97:/app/code# ./start.sh

                        I don't understand why it still tries to use /var/log/nginx/error.log

                        I am using supervisord to start, in nginx.conf the access and error logs are directed to /run . even in the nginx default I refer to /run for the logging.

                        I have updated the source in my repo, if someone want to have a look

                          I'm not sure, so genuine question : does /run/client_body need to be created in the Dockerfile or start.sh ?

                          The error log is strange as you have set it explicitly.
                          Is this line include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf; including a master conf which overrides the nginx.conf ?
                          Not an nginx expoert, just taking guesses.

                              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

                                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.

                                    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

                                      Grmpf.... I am totally lost with getting nginx up and running....

                                      I receive these error logs:

                                      root@b64767c7-9e50-475e-9f57-40b454d06b97:/app/code# ./start.sh

                                      I don't understand why it still tries to use /var/log/nginx/error.log

                                      I am using supervisord to start, in nginx.conf the access and error logs are directed to /run . even in the nginx default I refer to /run for the logging.

                                      I have updated the source in my repo, if someone want to have a look

                                      @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.

                                        @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 πŸ™‚

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

                                          this was interesting too:

                                          or just stick them in a cyclic memory:2m
