Unless you want to remove the Ubuntu package and install everything with pip, you need to just stick with what you have that at least partly works and we'll try to determine how to fix the utf8mb4 issue.
Hi Mark,
You're a very patient soul. Thank you.
Yes, I'm resigned to exactly that. The archives when folks send emojis will break, but that's just life. Mail will get sent. Heck, I guess I could edit the file in /var/lib/mailman3/archives/hyperkitty/spool to get rid of the emoji in the worst case...
You would need to do that, because once one of the emoji messages gets
into /var/lib/mailman3/archives/hyperkitty/spool, I think no further
messages are archived because mailman_hyperkitty tries to process the
queued messages first and throws the exception.
But, it's still not clear to me whether you have removed the settings_local.pyc and restarted uWSGI or whatever interfaces to Django.
Once I've migrated my 1500 mailing lists (this weekend) to the server, I'll think about how to get a new server set up that I can shift to and I'll install that with pip, since that'll clearly give me something more supportable.
Is Ubuntu 20.04 a reasonable platform for that?
Yes it is. FWIW, this list runs bleeding edge Mailman 3 on an Ubuntu 14.04 server (yes we should upgrade), the only issue being that we needed to install Python 3.6 (the latest at the time) from source because the native Python 3 was 3.4
