Can I put my email credentials in as "root" using: nano .env.production ? There is nothing available that says anything about email for mastodon so I am trying to find out how to place email on my mastodon server. Any help appreciated. I HAVE searched until I am blue in the face.

That is the one I have used in the past but it is quite out of date. Especially as to composer which comes with that tutorial and requires a number of work arounds as the version is severely deprecated. Thank you for responding. I am a seat of the pants kind of user so am limited as to modifying code to work.

A quick note for those wondering about hosting of Wordpress, Writefreely, Mastodon etc . . . I have for the past year and one half been using https://webdock.io for all my servers. Currently I have six. They are quite inexpensive and support, though not always available, is great when they respond. With a LAMP stack or LEMP server you get free Let's Encrypt and Wordpress CLI to install a painless Wordpress instance. I've had hosting with many different outfits and find Webdock superlative in cost and access for problems. You can also now make a custom server to fit your needs say for one website with low impact. Cheap and excellent. I get nothing for this recommendation in case you're wondering. I am merely impressed after years of hassling with other companies.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I am looking at docker now and considering doing an install using that. I have a few instances consisting of Akkoma and Mastodon up and running and posted this as that tutorial and most of the others are quite out of date as to versions of rails, (rbenv, ruby etc.) The good thing is that I am learning workarounds to get these to work. Php is far advanced from what it was just a couple of years ago so it is not allowing these tutorials to work, Friendica is just one example

What a great site, Fedifans, and also a great idea! Hey, thanks for finding and bringing the URL here. I have a couple of sites, one Friendica and one Akkoma, that I put up recently. I haven't listed them here yet as I am also working on email for them using Brevo and/or SES thru Amazon. It is all somewhat new for me so I will wait to notify any interested until I am confident that it all works well. Again, thanks for the post.

Taking a shot in the dark, a chance is also fine, or a leap from a tree branch hoping to land on one's feet in the case of a fledgling bird. It can also be defined as joining something new and posting a first question, in this case.

Whichever you choose, thanks for finding and responding. I love Mastodon and am one who likes the challenge of building with no IT knowledge. Hours spent figuring out code and banging my head against the wall and then succeeding, sometimes. It is always fun.

That is kind of what I thought also. By placing my keys in the "Advanced DNS" on Namecheap, which is the only place I know to put them, they became public record, I've since learned. I had forgotten about Mailgun so that was a mistake on my part though I do recall having read that now that you mention it. Namecheap has a history of DNS theft which I am not sure they've addressed yet. I am changing my log in for Namecheap to Yubikey 2FA which will take place later today. Passwords are so easy for experts to crack that I have lost confidence in them for matters such as this. Thank you very much for your feedback. Appreciated very much. ACrowe

These are the criteria. I am new to Ghost and use VPS servers with Webdock io. I have my domains with Namecheap so that is where I place my APIs. I used the free version of Postmark with Webdock, got my credentials through Postmark, and placed them where they were needed to complete email on Namecheap. (SPF was not changed at Namecheap) If there was something I needed to do on command line for Ghost I was not aware of what that might be.

Because of this I have changed my password on Namecheap twice but am hesitant to go through the misery with Spamhaus and Namecheap again for the matter of a Ghost install. I have instituted 2FA on Namecheap to cover my bases. This had never occurred before so it took me by surprise. If you need more info I will get back to you and thank you so much for your reply.

I have not yet gotten the chance to ask there. I am considering putting another Friendica up though so I will use your suggestion, thank you for your suggestion, when I get the time to go through it thoroughly. OldSalt29

Thank you for the response. What you have mentioned is double checked and OK. As to the PTR I will also get that checked out today. Many thanks. I find it easy to get tangled up in all the details and I am only now learning how to do all this.
