Well, as one of the latest members (at least I think I’m the newest) with very limited IT knowledge (I know a little python and must usually search everything when reading your discussions) I must say:
I had problems with the official easy install and followed the @bkm Guide which worked like a charm.(Thanks)
After that I learned some bench commands (update and migrate really), didn’t work on ssl so I got certbot which did the job.
Learned some basic UFW, and Fail2Ban and authkey+googleauth for the server, and ready to go.
and well I won’t be touching the server as long as I can because I’m afraid I might break something :D.
As for using the system, most things are well explained in Docs and videos, the confusing parts are usually in the 1-changes for example chat is disabled, but in docs chat is there, and on website it’s there but internally its not present took me some searching. or sometimes things are added but docs have not caught up yet. 2- things not directly explained for example I still don’t know where does the email address from contact-us page go, A contact is created and in email inbox the message is shown but the contact isn’t , the email forwarded to my gmail also doesn’t show it. if you hit reply in the inbox you can see it. also it was very hard to find the inbox.
As for docker, I’m just learning what containers are.
I explained these things so that it might help you see things from the perspective of a new member.
But in general I had no problems, and am very very thankful. I have accounting, inventory, sales, a website,… and all of them connected and online.
So about this platform being against new members … I must disagree, I’m glad I’m here, and hope I can contribute in the future.
