@girish What are the steps to create a pull request?

I was able to clone master, create a branch from it, make changes, but I am not able to push my branch. Usually, this is what I would do to create a pull request.

I also don't have permissions to fork, I think?

[girish]

@saikarthik What's your id on gitlab? I think we might have to increase you repository count for you to be able to fork.

@girish therealsai

[saikarthik]

@girish Working now. Thanks!

I could not fork the repo to make changes so sent a Pull Request instead.

[girish]

@nj Thanks! You should be able to fork now. I will look into the patch as well.

[rosano]

i can't fork via @rosano because my 'project limit is reached'

[girish]

@rosano i have bumped the limit now.

Noticed a small typo there: https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/upgrade-ubuntu-22/

Currently it says: If you are still on Ubuntu 20, you must first upgrade to Ubuntu 20 before upgrading to Ubuntu 22.

Should say (I guess): If you are still on Ubuntu 18...

Apologies if this is not the right place to post that kind of thing.

@avatar1024 thanks, fixed.

Do we, as a community have the ability to submit a fork or changes to the Cloudron docs if we see an error or want to submit additional information? I took a quick look, but didn't see the repo on git.cloudron.io.

[girish]

@JLX89 yes, of course! https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/docs/ is the repo. All changes gladly welcomed.

[JLX89]

@girish Thank you -- can't believe I missed that, I apologize.

There is a error in the doc in the Email section. The user name should be full email address. The email id (content before @) does not work.

POP3
Use the following settings to receive email via POP3:

Server Name - Use the mail server location of your Cloudron (default: my subdomain of the primary domain)
Port - 995
Connection Security - TLS
Username/password - Use the email id as the username and the Cloudron account password
POP3 access is disabled by default and must be enabled per-mailbox.

Here is a good tutorial on connecting cloudron with gmail:

1. Enable POP3 access within Cloudron Mailboxes Settings.
2. Gmail > Settings > See all settings > Accounts and Import
3. Go to "Check email from other accounts".
4. Follow the process. This will set both "POP3 Receiving" and "SMTP Sending".
   Important: always use "full email address" as the user name.

@taowang said in Docs:

There is a error in the doc in the Email section. The user name should be full email address. The email id (content before @) does not work.

Not sure about this. Email id is the full email address. If someone says "give me your email id", I always give "foo@bar.com" . I don't just give out "foo" .

[taowang]

@girish oh I throught It means the content before @.

The Email Client Configuration part uses different terminology.

• IMAP: email id
• SMTP: full email
• Sieve: full email
• POP3: email id

[girish]

@taowang thanks, I have made them all the same now.
