Wekan.sh enable email invitations and other issues

[ghost]

Hi, i just want to share something that i've discovered using that app with docker, when creating the systemd unit you could ask the user to set a smtp server to send email, and then add that strings to the unit: Environment=MAIL_URL=smtp://user:password@smtpserverport:port/ Environment=MAIL_FROM=emailaddress

The other thing is the update script that i don't fully understand because:

at line 3: [ $1 = update ] && { systemctl stop wekan; rm -rf /home/wekan/bundle; }

but at line 35 mv bundle Wekan

so when $1=update you are trying to delete /home/wekan/bundle which doesn't exist anymore, because at line 35 you've renamed bundle to Wekan.

Thank you for creating all of this set of scripts, you saved me a lot of time!

Thanks you too! You're right, I've done some changes. Now it will just be /home/wekan/*, the bundle content will be directly extracted to the current directory /home/wekan. Anyway, DPlatform / systemd aren't designed for Docker, even if it works. Docker shouldn't need systemd because it run an app with parameters set in the Dockerfile when the container is launched. I plan to create a DPlatform Docker project.

The two environment variables are indipendent from docker, they belong to wekan, some time ago i've compiled wekan from source(on a x86 machine), and following their guide you need to export some variables https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Install-and-Update#manual-installation-steps.

So now in my raspbian, i went to /etc/systemd/system/wekan.service and added the two lines above (with my credentials) and email starts working. The drawback is that the password will be stored in plain text inside the unit.

Fixed. I haven't added the email environment variables asked with a message box, because it doesn't appears to be needed to have a working Wekan, finally that most people research.
