J’ai été obligé de modifier le mot de passe de mon adresse mail et j’ai désespérément cherché où mettre le nouveau smtp_password dans le panneau d’adminstration. J’ai finalement compris (ici) qu’il fallait passer par une modification d’un fichier (yaml?). J’ai un accès au ssh, mais ne suis pas du tout à l’aise avec cela. Quelqu’un pourrait-il me donner un lien ou les explications complète pour que j’y parvienne: la commande pour éditer le fichier à modifier, où mettre le smtp_password (doit-il être codé?), sauver le fichier? relancer Discord? D’avance merci .

Merci à tous pour les réponses rapides. Je résume [et mets à jour avec les infos qui ont suivi] pour les débutants comme moi: Faire le backup de la base de données Se connecter en SSH Editer le fichier qui contient le mot de passe sudo nano /var/discourse/containers/app.yml Trouver la ligne qui contient le mot de passe DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: “votre_mot_de_passe_smtp” Rentrer en clair le nouveau mot de passe (en supprimant l’ancien) Sauver le nouveau fichier ctrl x / Puis confirmer O (oui) ou Y (yes) / Puis enter Reconstruite (ca peut prendre du temps) cd /var/discourse ./launcher rebuild app Si seuls les détails SMTP ont été modifiés, on peut se limiter à cd /var/discourse ./launcher destroy app ./launcher start app pour que les modifications prennent effet.

Hi there, all you need to do is SSH in, and just do this: nano containers/app.yml That will open up the text editor to change the SMTP details. Then, you can run: cd /var/discourse ./launcher destroy app ./launcher start app for the changes to take effect. A simpler way would be to run ./discourse-setup again, and fill out the details again.

Thank you very much for this fast answer. If I run ./discourse-setup All my settings will be destroyed ?

No, I don’t believe it does. I would suggest the first option, if you have more things to edit. [image]Troubleshoot email on a new Discourse install The simplest way is to run ./discourse-setup again. Did you enter everything correctly? But wait! If your password has anything other than numbers and letters, you might be better off editing your app.yml with nano or your favorite editor. You can also double check the settings in your containers/app.yml file.

.\discourse-setup will likely not work, use .\launcher rebuild app after CTRL+x in nano containers/app.yml

i would recommend backing up the database before (and after) rebuild, but you probably did that before logging in via SSH i like that you’ve included instructions for how to use the nano text editor

Do I have to rebuild? Rebuilding is too slow :weary_face:

If you change only the SMTP details, you can do this: [image] NateDhaliwal: Then, you can run: cd /var/discourse ./launcher destroy app ./launcher start app for the changes to take effect.

Running discourse-setup is the easiest way for a novice. It will do a rebuild automatically (unless you control-c before it does). Editing with nano (or vim) and destroy/start is the fastest way, though if you have upgraded with docker_manager from the ux it’ll undo those changes and you might need to rebuild anyway.
