How to SFTP to Roundcube?

[humptydumpty]

I'm trying to change the new mail notifier sound. In the file manager, I can see the plugin that I'm trying to edit but it's a symlink and if I try to download it, it opens as a source page looking thing. How can I get to the app folder?

@humptydumpty use terminal to find the actual file.

@humptydumpty You cannot change the files of built-in plugins. They will get updated as part of roundcube itself.

If you do want to change them, then make a copy of the entire plugin directory and copy it to /app/data/plugins and modify the file and also enable the new plugin in the roundcube config.

See https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/roundcube/#plugins

@girish @robi I have no idea how to copy stuff via terminal. I need to look it up. If I copy the entire plugin directory, then I have to make sure I update those manually later on, right?

[humptydumpty]

so I'm using this command to copy over the contents but it's saying the two files are the same.

cp -a /app/code/plugins.orig/. /app/code/plugins

Do I have to delete the symlink ones in the plugin folder first? Nevermind, can't delete them.

Just realized my mistake.. copying into the wrong folder

That didn't work. To be continued tomorrow.

@humptydumpty you can't write to /app/code at all, so you need to copy to /app/data/someplace

[humptydumpty]

@robi I substituted code for data but that didn't work either.

I'm getting "x and x are the same file".

cp -a /app/code/plugins.orig/. /app/data/plugins

The question is how the hell do I get rid of the symlink stuff?

BTW, I managed to download a copy of the plugin I want to replace and just uploaded it into the data/plugins folder and the overwriting worked but the changes aren't taking effect. I guess that's why I have to overwrite the entire folder as @girish instructed. I'm gonna try doing that now via the file manager.

Edit: RC just crashed and burned. Reinstalling.

Edit 2: It keeps going downhill today. Uninstall error:

FileSystem Error: Error removing dir /home/yellowtent/appsdata/ad3d3e27-12d8-42b9-956a-dd33a76929e9 : ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rmdir '/home/yellowtent/appsdata/ad3d3e27-12d8-42b9-956a-dd33a76929e9'

That is a cloudron bug which we are trying to fix (still haven't found the root cause). You can just rm -rf /home/yellowtent/appsdata/ad3d3e27-12d8-42b9-956a-dd33a76929e9 and then retry the uninstall .

@girish That worked, thank you! The app terminal was in a "reconnecting" loop but the command worked when I used DO's console.

@girish something not cleaning up properly?
