Mixpost

@robi I wish this can get sorted out. Keeping up with updates manually is a real PITA.

I started a guide for Mixpost Lite in this thread:
https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/11088/mixpost-lite-install-guide-for-lamp-app

Let me know if I missed something.

BTW this also works no problem in the enterprise version.

I honestly don't know how much sense it makes to package this. It seems to run super smooth in the LAMP app and there are so many different versions to keep up with packaging

[humptydumpty]

@andreasdueren the app has to be changed/unified by Dima @lao9s if a package is to be made, and it doesn't look like he is willing to make that happen. We have plenty of paid apps packaged on Cloudron. I don't understand the rationale behind his refusal.

[andreasdueren]

He's maybe focussing on developing it further right now and doesn't want the workload of packaging apps. I'm currently happy with the composer version as the docker one also doesn't have all the features.

[humptydumpty]

@andreasdueren I wish it's a time/focus issue. He's worried about licensing/ownership of the app. Any way, the composer method is the same method as the guide above? It's been a while and I forgot what method I was using.

[andreasdueren]

Yes i'ts what you've been working on. I think I followed some of the instructions somewhere here for the lite version but applied it to the enterprise one

So, out of curioisty.

To get the app working in the lamp app- is that the previously written up guide?

[andreasdueren]

Yes should work no problem

I'm giving Mixpost another go. Fresh install. All is working except for the mail. What SMTP settings are you guys using in the .env file?

I tried a bunch of settings and currently have these, but nothing works:

# SMTP
MAIL_MAILER=mail
MAIL_HOST=mail
MAIL_PORT=2465
MAIL_USERNAME=mixpost.app@domain.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=grjk34jkl6543jklerjkl34jkl5lkj3436df4334
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS="mixpost.app@domain.com"
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

I think MAIL_MAILER= needs to be smtp. At least that's what I had set up:

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mail
MAIL_PORT=2465
MAIL_USERNAME=app@domain.com
MAIL_PASSWORD= grjk34jkl6543jklerjkl34jkl5lkj3436df4334
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS="app@domain.com"
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

I honestly don't really see the point in packaging it thought, works perfectly in the LAMP app.

Loads of apps could in theory work perfectly in the LAMP app - but it requires a load of work to set-up. Having it packaged would save all that work.

[humptydumpty]

@jdaviescoates exactly! I spent over two hours reinstalling mixpost yesterday. Most of that time was spent re-reading all the forum posts and docs to refresh my memory. Upgrading will still be a manual hassle too. There’s also an unsolved mystery, symphony; what is keeping horizon running?

[humptydumpty]

@andreasdueren I’ll give smtp a try but i think i tried that yesterday. Maybe i need different settings because i use a mailgun relay.

[humptydumpty]

SMTP didn't work. I'll ask upstream.

[andreasdueren]

@jdaviescoates I understand that. It seems to me though that the three different models add too much complexity though.

Hmm maybe you're right. I'm not sure my emails are being delivered either. Let me know if you find something out.

[andreasdueren]

Looks like the latest update just fixed something because I got multiple reset emails right after
