No, Wekan requires MongoDB.

If Uberspace 7 can run docker containers, then you could use docker-compose.yml that is at https://github.com/wekan/wekan

There is related [#787] and mention about nice-to-have other databases at blog post but currently it looks like adding other database support would require a lot of work, so probably will not happen soon.

@xet7 and @jeyca
You might want to have a look at the guide provided at UberLab/Uberspace 7 Manual: Wekan, which made me successfully install Wekan on a Uberspace 7 domain. A link to that in your documentation might help others, too.

I've grown to be a fond user in a very short time, but recently failed miserably at my first update procedure (from 5.07.0 to—but not specifically—v5.17), as above stated guide on UberLab only provides a vague update procedure.

A detailed step-by-step paragraph on how to do update in this specific environment, might encourage others to update frequently, or install Wekan on Uberspace 7 at all. I tried to get in touch with the guide author Andrej Schoeke, but could not find any publicly visible contact address.

Thanks! I added it to wiki. At Wekan website https://wekan.github.io is Download section / Uberspace button that go Uberspace wiki page.

Do you know more detailed install steps? Can you add those steps as comment to this issue?

Unfortunately, no. The steps provided at UberLab were sufficient to get me started, without being proficient at all with the underlying assets, nor coding. That's why I'm looking for an equally detailed guide to update my existing installation, which failed.

Can you add those steps as comment to this issue?

If you think that helps others here, I can do that. Wouldn't that be redundant though, as we have the instructions at UberLab?

Edit: Tried to find out the location of the file to edit, to let Wekan send Mails, but couldn't find it. Any pointers, please?

@xet7 FYI, in cooperation with Uberspace support, there's a Bash script to automate updates on Uberspace 7 hosted domains:
https://github.com/BabyFnord/update_wekan

Tested working up to v5.91 (updated edit here) … looking forward to perform coming updates :). Maybe you want to include this in the manual. Minor caveat: The install location(s) differs to the instructions on UberLab for a good reason. Anyone running Wekan on U7 is encouraged to use it :)

Works like this, added to wekan.ini in /home/YOUR-USERNAME/etc/services.d on uberspace server, added (seperated by a comma) to the "environment" string:

MAIL_URL='smtp://YOUR-USERNAME@uber.space:YOUR-SSH-PASSWORD@YOUR-SERVERNAME.uberspace.de:587',MAIL_FROM='Board Support <YOUR-USERNAME@uber.space>'

Thanks, @tobiasgraeber! Following your directions and restarting wekan via supervisorctl restart wekan, my log still reads (Mail not sent; to enable sending, set the MAIL_URL environment variable.) :(

No, but I did run supervisorctl restart wekan. Ran 'supervisorctl update' and 'supervisorctl reload' just now, didn't change my issue.

This is my wekan.ini (port # is different):
[program:wekan]
environment=PORT="0000",MONGO_URL="mongodb://wekan:PASS@127.0.0.1:27017/wekan",ROOT_URL="https://USERNAME.uber.space"
MAIL_URL='smtp://USERNAME@uber.space:SSHPASSWORD@SERVER.uberspace.de:587',MAIL_FROM='Board Support USERNAME@uber.space'
directory=%(ENV_HOME)s/wekan/current
command=node main.js
autostart=yes
autorestart=yes

Try adding a "," behind the ROOT_URLs Path and write all the environment Params in one line, like this:

[program:wekan] environment=PORT="0000",MONGO_URL="mongodb://wekan:PASS@127.0.0.1:27017/wekan",ROOT_URL="https://USERNAME.uber.space",MAIL_URL='smtp://USERNAME@uber.space:SSHPASSWORD@SERVER.uberspace.de:587',MAIL_FROM='Board Support USERNAME@uber.space' directory=%(ENV_HOME)s/wekan/current command=node main.js autostart=yes autorestart=yes

Then it should work (my stucture is, besides of that, identical and working like this).

Good luck ;-)

That did change something, but we're not there yet :/ … With this alteration to wekan.ini, Wekan itself now reports
Fehler beim Senden der E-Mail: connect EHOSTUNREACH 185.26.156.78:587
and this hasn't happened before. Ugh …

Should still be correct. The error message EHOSTUNREACH only says that the specified host could not be reached. I think your used host address or the port is not correct. Config structure should be fine. Use Servername insted of the IP. See values on https://dashboard.uberspace.de/dashboard/datasheet (below "your primary email address").

If you use the default Ports and the uberspace SMTP with the structure as i suggested i my example for the environment string, it should definitely work:

MAIL_URL='smtp://YOUR-USERNAME@uber.space:YOUR-SSH-PASSWORD@YOUR-SERVERNAME.uberspace.de:587',MAIL_FROM='Board Support <YOUR-USERNAME@uber.space>'

@tobiasgraeber A non-specified server (at least not by me, as far as I recall whatever I already tried in this scope) is being called (the one used by Uberspace dashboard), that's the background of EHOSTUNREACH according to the support team. I'm trying to (hopefully) resolve the issue with their help and will report back.

Why you give up? It can only be a little difference in your case.

Double check these parts:

,MAIL_URL='smtp://USERNAME@uber.space:SSH-PASSWORD@SERVERNAME:587',MAIL_FROM='Board Support <USERNAME@uber.space>'

Replace:

USERNAME = With your Username from top of https://dashboard.uberspace.de/dashboard/datasheet
SSH-PASSWORD = With your Password set on https://dashboard.uberspace.de/dashboard/authentication (right handside)
SERVERNAME = With your MAIL-Servername from bottom of https://dashboard.uberspace.de/dashboard/datasheet (mine is "jarnsaxa.uberspace.de" - from the "Your primary E-Mail-Adress"-section)

Make als sure your password/username does not contain any non-url-conform letters/signs

The SSH PW is the one I regularly use along with the user- and servername for SSH, frequently :) All of those have been confirmed by Uberspace support, as well as my full wekan.ini details, according to your template. Uberspace support told me, Wekan tries to connect to a different Uberspace server than the one I specified → [redacted].uberspace.de (which is used by Dashboard services, this one has no SMTP-Relay), when it should be [redacted].uberspace.de … go figure.

Within the scope of wekan.ini, there is nothing either them (support) or me can set up differently. And the reasons for that behaviour is completely beyond me :/

@tobiasgraeber I solved my issue by chance:
Creating a dedicated Mailbox and employing it as new@domain.tld with a [a-z-0-9]-only PW, finally did it. It did not with the userspace-matching Mailbox and its generic PW 💁🏻‍♂️.

Thanks for helping me solve this, I hope it'll be useful to others too 😊.

I had the same issue and was brute forcing all kinds of variations, that are mentioned in the wiki guide:

what is the USER part? So you didn't use POSTBOX@SERVER.uber.space, but POSTBOX@externalDomain.tld?

url encode the @ in the USER part? @->%40

smtp:// or smtps://

Port 587 or 465

what is MAIL_FROM

Finally this worked for me, posting here so no one else has to try it:
MAIL_URL="smtp://POSTBOX@USERNAME.uber.space:PASSWORD@SERVER.uberspace.de:587",MAIL_FROM="Wekan <POSTBOX@USERNAME.uber.space>"
