There's no such documentation. "Get a list working" depends on what you mean by "working".
Thanks for getting back to me.
IMO post-installation docs for list admins would be a big help in Mailman3 adoption. I'm willing to help with this.
When I say "working": I'm looking to migrate Mailman2 mailing lists to Mailman3, but am struggling with even basic setup tasks before we attempt list migtration.
For example, on admin page I've set up two lists, one public and one private (each with unique list IDs), but neither appear in the site's list index.
And I don't know where to add list members.
And clicking the site archives link throws this error:
The basic answer is
- Install Mailman 3 suite.
- Log in to Postorius as an admin user and create the list.
After that, it's case-specific.
- why do the venv docs and admin FAQ give different nginx configs for the reverse proxy?
Because the FAQ is providing a short snippet to solve a specific problem, the venv docs provide what I guess is somebody's full working config. Setting up a Mailman server is complex; usually any example you see in the docs is somebody's "works for me" configuration.
- Does the 'Secret_Hyperkitty_API_Key' need to go anywhere else besides /opt/mailman/mm/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg?
It needs to match MAILMAN_ARCHIVER_KEY in HyperKitty's settings.py. There are a couple of reasonable ways to organize HyperKitty and Postorius configs, I'm not sure where the appropriate settings.py would be on your server.
- For Django (presumably in /etc/mailman3/settings.py, but the docs don't say), what values to use with Postfix to set up the email back end?
The answer is "that depends on your mail environment". As far as I know, normally it just works with the default settings, but if your Postfix requires secure, you need to set that up: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/settings/#std:setting-EMAIL_USE_TL... and possibly the following 3 or 4 variables if authentication is needed.
There was a thread on this a couple of weeks ago.
