      Just to ask a dumb question as I havent set this up.

      This page here is saying to install a trusted cert, is it installing a self-signed cert or is it setting up letsencrypt?

      I assume the former but am just asking as it really makes no sense.

        It'll do either. You control the setting. Turn on LE, and it gets its own LE cert and manages it for you.

          @scottalanmiller So it'll go through and install LE and get the cert and everything?

                It really is. It's amazing how well polished a lot of this stuff is already. Way ahead of the competition.

                  I really like what I'm seeing out of it so far, for sure.

                  Has anybody tested the Chat features? I can't seem to get that working between two computers on my network. (Tried both Windows and Linux).

                  File uploading works for me.

                      @scottalanmiller I'm on latest version but haven't seen the invite link, I'll have to double check though.

                        Did you set up SMTP?

                          @scottalanmiller I haven't yet no, does the link only appear once you have entered SMTP settings?

                              Ok, on the same fedora minimal install, I install nodemailer and created an email.js file with following code:

                              var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
                              
                              var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
                                  host: '10.254.0.96',
                                  port: 25,
                                  secure: false, //true --> will use ssl
                              });
                              
                              var mailOptions = {
                                  from: '[email protected]',
                                  to: '[email protected], [email protected]',
                                  subject: 'Hello',
                                  text: 'Hello world',
                                  html: '<b>Hello world </b>'
                              };
                              
                              transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info) {
                                  if (error) {
                                      console.log(error);
                                  } else {
                                      console.log('Message sent: ' + info.response);
                                  }
                                  transporter.close();
                              });
                              

                              And then I ran node email.js and was able to send and received emails.

                              But when I add the host, port, from, and tls information I don't see the invite link or can verify emails.

                              "smtp": {
                                      "host": "10.254.0.96",
                                      "port": 25,
                                      "from": "[email protected]",
                                      "tls": false
                                  }
                              

                              Besides that everything else is awesome.

                                @black3dynamite - I noticed that sometimes when you make changes to the json file and restart the services, you need to close your browser completely and even clear your history at times for the page to show updates properly.

                                          Do you know if this works with Windows CE/Embedded Compact? I can't get ScreenConnect working there, and it's come up a couple times for us.

                                            @StuartJordan Just fixed that problem. Published v0.2.5-m a few minutes ago.
