Continuing the discussion from Setting up DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: 'localhost'? : I’m moving a forum, and wanted to try out the ./discourse-setup script. SMTP is allowed via whitelisting an IP address, so no user/pass is needed. I can’t guess what to enter to skip these settings. I tried "" but th…

Install nano like all the rest of us mortals.

Sure, but even an advanced user might want to know how to get off the easy-setup gracefully.

[image] watchmanmonitor: It’d be cleaner to have a way to set no password, if none is required. Maybe that would show as an option if the port was set to 25? Well, @codinghorror can weigh in here (as he’s who’ll accept the PR should I submit it), but that DIRE WARNING applies to the people f…

I know enough to run a mail server, but not enough to emulate the logic in discourse-setup master docker_path=`which docker.io || which docker` if [ -z $docker_path ]; then echo Docker install failed. Quitting. exit …
