[Django] ERROR (EXTERNAL IP): Service Unavailable

by dancab＠caltech.edu

I've imported a list from Mailman2 and had the owner send a message for testing purposes. His message are moderated per the list configuration. The message is delivered to Mailman3 and shows that it's being held. However if we attempt to view the message in Postorius web UI then an error is thrown. In the web interface the error is simply "Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman core." But Mailman Core is running and we can do other functions just fine. Our superuser account receives a much more detailed message with the subject below. [Django] ERROR (EXTERNAL IP): Service Unavailable: /postorius/lists/cpa-announcement.caltech.edu/held_messages Does "Service Unavailable" mean I'm missing something in the configuration? Thanks for your help. ---- Dan Caballero

Re: Database running VERY hot

Well, we haven't tackled the issue if importing old archives yet - we're trying to stabilize things first, trying to get the 504 gateway timeouts to stop happening. Once that happens, we have over 40 million old emails to import. (some of the emails date back to 1987 I think.)

If that's the case, replace the 'mailman3/' above with your old 'posotorius/' in your new urls.py. That should fix the problem you are having with 404 because you browser probably remembers the old URL and tries to auto-redirect root path to /postorius. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Re: Mailman 3 Web Application Startup Time or Availability - 502 Bad Gateway and Postorius

by summersan＠nclack.k12.or.us

Hi Mark, Thank you for your quick response! When setting up Mailman 3, I went through much of this "how to" guide here: https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Howto_Install_Mailman3_On_Debian10. As far as I can tell, my current setup appears to be proxying from Nginx to Gunicorn, according to the related Nginx and mailman3-project-specific Gunicorn config files. Specifically, I checked the local address:port being used in the Nginx file and compared that to the mailman3-project-specific Gunicorn bind address. It looks like I might have "separated out" the REST API to a different server block in the Nginx config file, so I think I'm looking at the correct server block with this conclusion. For what it's worth, I don't recall this type of "slow first visit startup" issue happening in the past when using web applications with uwsgi, and I've had the opportunity to use uwsgi with a variety of programs. I think Gunicorn is fairly new to me. I do, however, remember that something like this might have happened in the past when using Passenger (https://www.phusionpassenger.com/) a long time ago, but that might have been setting related on my part. Okay, thanks for the encouragement about the potential solution to periodically accessing the related "example.mailman.site/mailman3/lists/" type location (from my earlier email). Wanted to check on that and was also hoping that there might be some setting I'm missing in the overall Mailman 3 project setup related to the "slow first visit startup" issue. Thank you!

Anyone see any downsides to doing it this way? Please don't do that, it will create a circular import since settings_local.py is imported by settings. Postorius (actually, allauth) adding more providers won't affect the INSTALLED_APPS list, which is a static setting defined in the container images. Unless the image changes that list, it won't affect you. Having the list customized is actually good for you, since there is some extra configuration required for adding a new provider, so you don't want something to just show up without you knowing. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

It certainly could. Right now you can do effectively `mailman digests —send —bump` through the REST API, so if you wanted to leave the periodicity to Postorius, that would work right now. If we added the —periodic option to the CLI, then we should also add it to the REST API. The one thing is that —periodic and —send should be mutually exclusive for both. I’ve updated the issue with those comments. Cheers, -Barry

Post-installation documentation?

by Stephen J. Turnbull

David Newman writes: > I am looking for a high-level "do these steps next to get a list > working" document rather than an API command reference. There's no such documentation. "Get a list working" depends on what you mean by "working". The basic answer is 1. Install Mailman 3 suite. 2. 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_T… and possibly the following 3 or 4 variables if authentication is needed. There was a thread on this a couple of weeks ago.
