The issue seems to be that the box code was created by hand as "CREATE DATABASE box" . However, this gets the incorrect default collation and migrations fail. The correct command is CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS box CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_bin . I have fixed the docs to state this.

You can drop that column by hand if you know SQL (or contact us on support as @nebulon said).

Quick fix: Edit the file /home/yellowtent/box/migrations/20260526210000-mail-relay-tokens-and-mailbox-from-validation.js . Comment out this line (this is the first line in the up function):

//    await db.runSql('ALTER TABLE mailboxes ADD COLUMN skipFromValidation BOOLEAN DEFAULT 0');

Then run migration again, should work

Please enable remote ssh support for us https://docs.cloudron.io/support#remote-support and send a mail to support@cloudron.io with your Cloudron details. Then we can take a direkt look at fixing this.
