Hello, We're trying to update mailman to version 3 from version 2, and I can't seem to find some non-technical guide for Postorius, something like an owners manual for all the configurations available in Postorius. Is there such a thing?
Thank you,
Florin
Hi Florin,
You cannot "update" Mailman from version 2 to version 3. You will install version 3 and then migrate your lists/archives from version 2 into the version 3 install. That, I think is an "upgrade". The recommended installation method is documented here: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html Once you've completed the installation, you need to create the superuser. The command is:
mailman-web createsuperuser
The username you create here will be used to log in to Postorius. You can also use the same username/password to login to the Django Admin web UI - https://list-url/admin/
What goes on in Postoirius isn't complex, so do not fear.
