I am running Debian 12 - Bookworm and have installed the Debian packages. The database is Mysql. This is not a virtualenv setup. There is no documentation in the hyperkitty package so I am following:
https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/hyperkitty/en/latest/install.html
The primary support resource for Debian packages is Debian. See https://wiki.list.org/x/12812344
I read the following:
"The database can be created with the following command:
django-admin migrate --pythonpath example_project --settings settings "
I assume that that will create some database tables. Hopefully this will have been done by installing package python3-mailman-hyperkitty.
• What database & tables will that be ? It would be really useful to be told so that I can check.
The database is configured in the DATABASES setting in your Django
settings. The HyperKitty tables all have names beginning with hyperkitty_.
• The config file is: /etc/mailman3/mailman-hyperkitty.cfg This does not contain any comment about databases. Where does hyperkitty get its database parameters from ?
Django, see above.
• I have several different maildomains each with several lists. Some lists in different domains have the same name. Do I need a different example_project/settings.py for each domain, if so what changes ?
I can't really speak to Debian, but you should be using the Django settings provided as part of Django's mailman-web package, not the ones in hyperkitty/example_project/settings.py as those don't include settings necessary for Postorius.
One of the next things that I will need to do is to import archives from mailman2. How does the command below change for the different domains ?
django-admin hyperkitty_import --pythonpath example_project --settings settings -l ADDRESS mbox_file [mbox_file ...]
In the -l ADDRESS argument the ADDRESS is the fully qualified list
address and includes the domain.
Is there some better documentation that I have failed to find ?
Ask Debian.
