Re: Mailman 3 installation, no mails in hyperkitty, unable to add footer.

by Ugnius

Mark, Thank You for your guidance. Yes, seems my installed mailman3 package is not full. I have tried to install it on my Debian 9, but I got package broken error and all possible proposals how to fix it did not help. But it is normal - official OS version 9 has no this package included. Then I have decided to play on another machine where is installed Debian 10. I have successfully installed mailman3-full. It already came pre-configured with keys included. Mailman3-web packige was something new for me. I understand it replaces mailman- suite, but like I did not find where to read about it, I did not find how to open the administration or postorius site.

Re: templates

by Odhiambo Washington

Isn't that the same thing as not having them in the FS? I read (and asked questions about) templates almost 10x before I got to understand the locations and how MM uses them. It's not easy to understand the ones in the FS while the ones in the DB are easy. Then again, one needs to know that Postorius only writes to the DB.

I'm pretty sure you would save up to 1.5GB by switching to gunicorn vs the uwsgi configuration you have. But the uswgi project has acquired functionality the way systemd has over the last few years. It seems likely that you could configure it to save a lot of memory by removing functionality you don't use. Not sure whether than involves recompiling or just disabling unused plugins, I'm not really familiar with uwsgi, since even for the largest instances I've seen gunicorn is sufficiently performant and secure. The MySQL footprint also seems a bit high. but not insane, my PostgreSQL weighs in at about 1.2GB-1.5GB. Overall, you don't have an insane configuration, but it depends on what you're optimizing for. -- GNU Mailman consultant (installation, migration, customization) Sirius Open Source https://www.siriusopensource.com/ Software systems consulting in Europe, North America, and Japan

I don't think there is any field for a home address supported by Mailman 3 core. So, as Jonathan said, I don't think this is possible at all. Mailman 3 doesn't really need to know the street address of a mailman list user so I doubt you will ever see such functionality added to Mailman 3 core. Keep in mind that Mailman 3's REST API is only accessible locally. So to access Mailman 3's REST API from another server is not remotely possible.

That would explain a lot. In particular, it would explain why the .pyc files aren't located per PEP 3147 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3147/>. But it also raise the question of how anything works at all. Python >= 3.6 is required. HyperKitty and Postorius used to run under Python 2, but haven't for some time.

I don't really know what to do next, but I'll keep looking. I suggest removing all the .pyc files and restarting the services. That will probably recreate .pyc files, but they should then be good. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

However pprint(sys.path) contains the same items whether I start the site from the dev server or apache. You change the command to be executed when the compressor is called in your Django's configuration file which in your case should be at mailman-suite/mailman-suite_project/settings.py See here https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite/blob/master/mailman-suite_project/… Instead of just `sass` or `sassc` command, you can change that to reflect the full path of the binary and it should work.

(venv) mailman-web migrate (as explained) fails with "django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: allauth.account.middleware.AccountMiddleware must be added to settings.MIDDLEWARE"

The example_projects in Postorius and HyperKitty each provide a very similar settings.py but with more extensive provision of socialauth providers. I strongly recommend you use the mailman-web settings package as a template for your own. Regarding the PostgreSQL bias, PostgreSQL is just more Mailman-friendly. We'll be happy to add more MySQL documentation, but I don't think any of the core devs use it where they have to make a choice. (For example I myself use MySQL only in my MediaWiki instance and I have done zero configuration of it.) There is at least one known gotcha for default installations of MySQL (it's terribly ungraceful when there are non-BMP UTF-8 characters), but any other warts or optimizations would be very welcome.
