Migration instructions from Rainloop.

[craftxbox]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There is no guide or FAQ about migrating an existing rainloop instance to snappymail.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to see a guide or small write-up on how to properly migrate an existing Rainloop install to Snappymail, As right now It is problematic to not know what to do.

Additional context In attempting to just 'drop in' replace rainloop, My test install became broken and the control panel inaccessible, Complaining of problems with a custom ChangePasswordSQL plugin that I had wrote.

An additional problem that likely should be split into its own issue if it is not already, I am being asked for a TOTP code for ?admin login, something that Rainloop did not have and as a result I don't have

Correct, the plugins system has changes. Read https://github.com/the-djmaze/snappymail/tree/master/plugins#readme

You can leave the field empty. You can set it later. Read here for info: https://github.com/the-djmaze/snappymail/issues/84#issuecomment-896095488

Possibly off-topic for this issue, I assume there is no plans to re-add support for external oauth providers like Google's Oauth? I used it pretty heavily, Any materials of where/how I could do this myself if not planned would be appreciated.

There's some draft code here: https://github.com/the-djmaze/snappymail/tree/master/plugins/login-oauth2

I think this got derailed with specific issues. The original question was: "I would like to see a guide or small write-up on how to properly migrate an existing Rainloop install to Snappymail, As right now It is problematic to not know what to do."

And I, too, am curious as to what the best migration path is. The rough version I'm thinking goes like this:

1. Clone RainLoop data folder and database to a staging area
2. Drop snappymail over top of staging area
3. Resolve plugin incompatibilities manually (replacing rainloop plugins with snappymail equivalents where available)
4. Re-complete steps on live, with updated plugins folder and configuration files.

Does that work? Is there a better way?

That should probably it. However, some plugins are not available (converted).

Those steps worked well with these alterations/notes:

• First thing noticed after step 2 was errors about plugin incompatibilities (as expected). I disabled them and replaced them later on with no issues. I only had a couple plugins activated previously, so this was fairly easy.
• After attempting admin login I received this error in the logs (with unknown error in the UI): 0 - Call to private method RainLoop\\Actions::getAdditionalLogParamsByUserLogin() from context 'RainLoop\\ActionsAdmin' -- the solution was to reset the admin password by commenting out admin_password in application.ini then logging in with the new one it created for me (and changing it, of course)

Question: is the 2fa functionality in RainLoop compatibile with the 2fa plugin for SnappyMail such that if users have already set up 2fa in RainLoop, they'll be able to continue to login after the transition to Snappy, or will the admin need to reset those 2fa codes for them?

In theory it should just work as before.
