Hello every one. I am slowly getting acquantied as to how to use Friendica. It is coming back
I was able to add my next user in the Moderation section, @Tobias .
Then, after created, there wa sno way that I could see, to create a password. Is there a way?
Otherwise, Isuppose I need to reset the password by trying to lgo in right?
Then, that brings be to my next step. I need ot set up the email server. Can friendica send email out of the box? Or, need configuration?
Thanks
Joseph

I have a mail server on another local VM that I want to use. How can I tell Friendica to use my local server?
Once set up, I can get the welcome emails to get sent out.
Thanks!

But if you make a backup of the php-mailer config file, you can just overwrite the one in docker after an update.
This should work.
